My friend Sarah Soh and I agreed to do an art exchange the other weekend. A nice afternoon of good company and fun art making. I didn't want to exchange any digital dead pixels so I decided to do watercolor.

AE86 Trueno...Part II

2009-09-18T03:54:00.000-07:00

I've been really motivated lately, I don't know if its because... Beyonce had one of the best music videos of all time... or if its because Michael Jordan stated there is no I in team... but there is an 'I' in 'Win'.... Anyways, I wanted to post something new. So I re-visited this guy a while back and put in some extra love in regards to the lighting with the tremendous help of Hai Ho, Matt Nava , Juan Carlos, and Alan Torres. Super smart 3d Artists with amazing works. I'm still working out some wonkiness but decided I'm going to leave the car be until I get a faster computer!

Birds Eye

2009-07-17T16:21:00.000-07:00

One day, a surfer

paddles out and finds himself

gliding through a field of crystal clear water,

and a bright field

of endless diamonds

blanketed under the sun.

That was a test at putting some words behind the visuals for this personal project. I probably should have written the story out first but going back and forth like this is still pretty fun. =)

NYC

2009-05-21T10:04:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago I finally made it out to the big apple. The first day I arrived, I searched for a train station and stumbled across Times Square. To my surprise, I saw the Zyrtec ad Fulltank produced for the Walgreens building last fall. I had a lot of fun working on a few boards for this ad. I thought it stopped running back in february so I was pretty stoked to see it still up. After I took this picture I found the train station only to catch the A line in the wrong direction for an hour... but thats another story. =|

And here are a few ninja sketches I managed to sneak in my trip. =)

Hello again! Here's a few shirt designs I did in my spare time.

This is just a peek of some of the grinds they serve at Sakurai. My personal favorites are the fried rice, probably the best I ever had no joke, and the katsu style chicken wings.

Its a nice family owned joint.

And here's a shirt design I did for Merced elementary school's Jog•A•Thon 2009! Go Panthers! =)

Target Practice

2009-01-07T00:14:00.000-08:00

Here is a sketch for our group blog. The theme for this one is target practice. I was inspired by the dart board my friend left in the bathroom. I love playing a round of Cricket here and there. Anywho, whatever targets we're striving to hit in 2009 lets lets make it happen! Happy New Year everyone!
