Adventure Time

Had a great time meeting artists and other nice folks at Sakura-con last weekend, now I'm itching to do more shows! So far I've got my eye on Emerald City, but I'm up for any suggestions.

And now for some schmoopy Adventure Time art. This show makes my artist-heart grow ten sizes!

waterfall goddess

The Waterfall Goddess of Jiuzhaigou Valley (九寨沟), carving out mountains with streams and planting the first tree of the Primeval Forest. I doubt I'll ever stop being inspired by that place.

red tree


close-up of the last image in the previous post. I fixed it up and turned it into a print, now just gotta figure out how to sell things...

life update + chinese mountains

These days I do my art blogging through Tumblr, so follow me there if you want regular updates:

It's been a year of many life changing events for me... last summer, I moved cross-country from Detroit to Seattle for a game artist job. All in all, life's been pretty good. Sam and I have definitely appreciated Seattle for its mountains and views, though the last 4 months of rainy season made me brood more than I would like! But it is a good excuse to stay in and paint all day...

You Don't Scare ME

Character sketches for a story. I'm trying to port everything over from my art tumblr, since I've decided that I don't want to quit blogspot after all
