Since I’ve updated my site, I was wondering whether I should merge together my design site with this site. The reason why I made different sites to begin with was because my illustration work looks different than my design work, which has a more “corporate” look. The different aesthetics is just a reflection of the … Read More

What I learned from the Nobrow talk
Yesterday, one of the founders of Nobrow, publishers of illustrated books, came by the School of Visual Arts to talk about his company. He showed slides of their initial workspace, their store, and the books they’ve published over the years. A lot of the inspiration for NoBrow came from japanese illustrated books of the 70s. … Read More
Social Me
Due to popular demand from people I meet at conventions, I’ve started to set up social media sites on twitter, facebook and the like. I actually already had a facebook site, but I though I should set up something more professional…And the Twitter account, I’ve had for a year, but never used it. You see, … Read More

This year’s festival should be a good one as there was a lot of competition to get a spot. Here’s the “When” and “Where”: Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church 275 North … Read More
Chimp pillow
My latest sewing creation: the chimp pillow. You get two chimps one one pillow for variety. The poses were sort of inspired from Bruce Lee. I a perfect world, I would put an audio device in the pillow that made sound whenever you punched the pillow, but right now it’s not feasible financially.
The where, the why, the how
I found this video in Parka Blogs.What struck me is how limited the animation is and how it doesn’t affect the quality of the video. I should try doing a video like that someday.
