I appreciate the past. I look forward to the future. But most of all I love the present.

-Charcoal studies I did for myself, as well as a recent commission work for a client with a very creative and interesting outlook on classical art work. The sketches were done at Shimoda, Japan.

I've got a few things to resolve

Illustration Friday Trial! - Resolution

My resolution... is to PARTY! ... I'm kidding. I just wish I wore these party glasses when I brought in the New Year. ColErase -> funky photoshop

human body for a change of heart races

Rebecca's class is grand. It's full of life! Drawing! Recently I've become acquainted with a drawer of humans who goes by the name of Henry Yan. These are my copied attempts of the young master. And an oil painting from last year. Mehhhhhh! These are iphone photos. I apologize for the lack of mega-pixels.

self actualization

for my figurative drawing class we had to do a self portrait... awkwardddddd
#1 is the reference photo
#2 is the pen and ink stippling

facial hair. mmmmmm!

artifactuals and nautilusiums

pencils are cool... digital painting... not so much. i'll get there... in 521 years.

summer loving

summer of two thousand and nine, i interned with the bishop museum of honolulu and did many many archival drawings of their artifacts. like these adzes (ancient axlike tool used for creation / destruction)

i also drew out a map of the austronesian expansion so little hawaiian children could learn about their ancestral voyage~ time compressing 9,000 years of unparalleled navigation techniques and survival skills into a simple game of candyland. i don't know if i am even allowed to post this up. if you don't hear from me, i've probably been silenced by the government for sharing vital information with you.

past blast!

back in the day... so simple, but i enjoy it.

these are from 2004.2? high school high!
