Project "Mermaid"

Character sketch for an animation project I am working on with Viktoriya Tsoy
It's going sort of slow and not so steady, but it is going! And that's what matters.
Other sketches can be found on my flickr

Happy Halloween: Ghost Story

Check out flickr for the rest of the first 3 pages of my comic "Ghost Story" which actually ended up being more of a vignette of ghost related stories. This was part of my submission for the M.I.C.C competition, the full story is 14 pages, BUT I finished JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN (deadline was the 31st anyways)

also another contribution to Ten Paces for the November Mix-tape to "Sleep on the Dance Floor" by the Postelles:

2011 APA DC Film Festival Poster/Image

Made the image for the 2011 12th Annual D.C APA Film Festival that's starting the beginning of October. Thanks to Minki Kim and Jenny Kim for the opportunity.
It was a fun, open, and flexible project to be a part of. I'm only posting the image, there's text that is going to be added, but I'm not in charge of that.

Speaking of film festivals, there's also a FREE virtual Asian Festival, DigiFest, which is open online until the end of this year. I recommend the documentaries "Macho Like Me" and "Finding Face", which I actually missed in the 2010 APA Film Fest.




Since I haven't been through my blogspot until now ( I know, shame shame shame) I didn't realize how fast all the other artists I've been following have changed and evolved. I had this feeling too after going to this year's SPX. It makes me feel simultaneously inspired and guilty, but that's good because that is what motivates work. At least my work. Creative shame.

I guess I'll end with a link to my 3 panel submission/Mangosteen mini comic.

Vend Send Mend and Ten Paces

So far this month we have:
My submission for Vend Send Mend,

And last week was another submission to Ten Paces and Draw.
The theme was patterns.
Here is the final I did for Kyle Fewell's delicious corgi cat-dog pattern:


Here's is Kyle's original sketch too:


AND FINALLY, my sketch submission below for Ten Paces. I was thinking of the time i had a GLORIOUS NAP while I was drawing it. The final was done by illustrator Lindsay Nohl, and it can be seen here. I like the added monkey :)
