Amanda Brisebois Design: ILLUSTRATIONS

I am a very diverse artist and work with a wide range of mediums and styles.

I have categorized the work in sections, hope you enjoy.

GRAPHIC

Collaboration with 2 of my good friends Alessandro Piedimonte and Dharmali Patel. This was a personal project, and given as a birthday/wedding gift to our mutual friends.

I drew the Mayan Jeep at the top, banners, heart with roses, and the sugar skull. I also incorporated the fonts and arranged the composition.

Background, tigers, and colored by Alessandro Piedimonte, he is a layout artist at 9 story.

CHALK ART

Objective: As an airbrush artist in my other business, I thought it would be a neat experiment to have a paint job that can be wiped off and re-drawn. I enjoyed parking my bike at cafe's and observing people's reaction as I would start to draw illustrations on my gas tank with white chalk. I often invited strangers to participate and I posted their contributions on my other site www.blackwidowairbrushing.com

HAND PAINTED OBJECTS

I recently fell in love with Sign Painting, and am working on improving
my hand lettering and line quality. I believe there is something
special about "hand made" in a world that is becoming
increasingly reliant on digital computer graphics.

Hand painted glass sign for my shop using silver leaf and 1shot paint.

These wooden ducks were tucked away in an attic and were to be sold at a garage sale until I rescued them.

CARVING

I am not just limited to brush and pencils. I am also quite enthusiastic when it comes to carving fruit.
Although this might not be relevant, I think it gives a good impression of my sense of humor.
In the month of October, I carve pumpkins for offices
I freelance for. (They often raffle them off)
