The past few years, I have written an annual summary post at the end of the year. 2020 has certainly toppled a lot of expectations for how the year should have gone. Most everybody felt a lot of negative events versus positive. Myself included. Here’s my attempt at wrapping the year 2020. The short story... Continue Reading →
https://www.instagram.com/p/CEccO1rjBbR/?igshid=1jxpsbxlr24qt Piggybacking on my previous post about Adobe Capture, I've also been using the program to create quick patterns for multiple projects. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6rSIoxD0Q7/?igshid=1g5ikxluk0xwz Adobe has a pattern option in the camera/image import. I like using it sparingly because it has limitations on the quality produced. The color vector patterns are splotchy; the bitmap patterns are... Continue Reading →
https://www.instagram.com/p/CEsUN9tjDrV/?igshid=1nu40f3ggoy1u I want to share my newest obsession of late: making easy digital abstract paintings in Adobe Fresco. They’re relaxing to create compared to the more thought-out illustrations and comics. I often make these in 10 minutes while my drawing students work on the gesture warm-ups at the beginning of class. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEs5fD0jalJ/?igshid=o3r4b5n3a25k I’m planning to...

Around a year ago, I made a second Society6 store as a lark. I sort of forgot about it after I uploaded the designs. I accidentally logged into a few weeks ago and realized that I made a sale (ha)! You’ll notice that these designs are a far cry from my usual illustrations. These were... Continue Reading →
Every year it sneaks up on me... INKTOBER! Last year I did awesome. I actually completed all the challenge prompts. Did I do it well? Debatable. But I did push myself to make a daily practice. Inktober usually comes at the perfect time when I feel complacent in my studio practice. The daily challenges give... Continue Reading →
I've been mostly working with digital these days. I've always dabble in digital painting, even as a young high schooler (so, so many years ago). Now that I've invested in a tablet that can work with the Apple Pencil and use the art programs, it's been a fun return to focus mainly on digital drawing... Continue Reading →
I was going to do a year end wrap up last month for the ol' blog, but life had a way of getting hitting me like a dump truck, one of them being my chronically sick cat finally passed away (RIP) and then starting up the new semester. However, I am determined to get back... Continue Reading →
Continuing my side project of updating some favorite older works to new digital sketches, I returned to this goodie. This sketch was done several years back (2015?) when I was working on a hashtag project. I think it was 100 days project. I definitely did not get to 100 days of any sketching by any...

Here's to a new year! I made a bunch of changes to the art page and blog. It seems fitting that the new year is starting when I decided to scrap all the old blog and website and start fresh.
