MyWallpaper

I am a bit late, but this week I have a wallpaper up at Arte Creative. You can download it for free here!

circles

Recently I've been doing all of these circles. Two ink circle drawings and a big painting.
I recorded the process and also learned how to make .gifs, so...

A few more things are being worked on. Hopefully they'll be finished soon!

more circles..

Preview of something new!

Also, a few days ago Illustration Rally put up a nice feature of some of my work. You can read it here! Thanks Natsuki!

reds & interview

Recent reds.

Today TheArtfuls.com put up an interview with me. You can read it here. Also, there is a wallpaper I made that you can download here. Check out the rest of the site too!

midori

It's been a while, but I'm still here.

Also, a few pieces featured in Carpaccio Magazine #26.
I also have an editorial illustration in Hyphen Magazine's most recent issue (The Bittersweet Issue).

ocean.eyes

It's been busy, but I'm still here.
Here are a few random things from the past few weeks.



Sketchbook and an eyeball collage from halloween. I've been thinking about doing more collages. I need to find more magazines to cut up..

little match girl

Just finished. I didn't think too hard about this one and it felt nice to just do.

floating

sky


This is the first piece of a series in my head. Lately I've been starting a lot of things, but I haven't finished them yet..

goodbadapple

I recently made a tumblr for smaller/random things (like above). I also made one for collecting images I like in general here.

in progress

One of the things I'm working on recently. Again, sorry for the phone photos. Now that I have my camera my memory card reader decides to act up..

small things

The triangles are from maybe a month or so ago. The girl is from today.
I was getting tired of drawing so tightly. Sometimes it's hard for me to do things loosely, like people without too much planning/sketching beforehand.
I'm trying to update this more frequently! It seems I've been really lazy about it..

new girls

Some girls from a week or so ago. Recently I've been playing with using pen and pencil as well as texture.




I can't seem to shake drawing heads since doing the head dresses..

new flowers

Recently I was able to screenprint a few things for Florin Buddhist Temple's Obon Festival/mini-bazaar. This is how it came out:

original drawings



tote bags




cards




I ran out of most of the bags (there are still brown ones and one black one left), but I had a lot of cards, so some of those are still left waiting to be written on!
Besides that.. recently I feel all flower-ed out. On to the next?

obon time!

2 poster/flyer designs for Cortez's annual Obon festival. It has been printed in black on color paper, so this was a test to try out some colors.
A few other things are in the works, but not close to done yet.


I did, however, get a new sketchbook! (Hopefully in the future I will also get a real camera or somehow find my very old one..)

And a thank you to Kim Zingale for dropping me an email and putting my site on their feature page at Poccuo yesterday!

owlish

Recent watercolor. It feels good to use color again.. I was going through an all-ink phase for a while.

microscope: test #1 & #2

test #1 on vellum


test #2

I can't seem to get away from circles.
Lately I've been looking at microscopic images. I especially like cross sections of plants. I really enjoyed working on vellum. Unfortunately it doesn't translate well scanned.

suits

Random drawing maybe a week ago. I'm not one to use a whole lot of color, and I don't use photoshop much except for touch ups, but I thought I'd try it out on this.


End result. Sloppy, I know. I didn't go in with the intention of adding any color. Maybe I'll give it another try in the future?

also, thanks to Jason Dean who dropped me an email letting me know he featured me on his site, The Best Part!
