New art work

Here is my latest project which I managed to finish for Mocca last week. It’s a “double book”, the cover page is a long piece of paper folded into a z which allows you to fit two books. The two books have the same story, the same artwork, the difference is that one book is … Read More

Last week my oil painting class finished. The portrait you see above is the culmination of 30 hours of work. This was my first painting class ever. I did some acrylic paintings when I was in middle and high school, but I’ve always been more focused on drawing than painting…so don’t judge too harshly. Admittedly … Read More

I submitted a comic to issue 14 of Rabid Rabbit, which had “romance” for a theme. As it turns out I’m not in issue 14 of Rabid Rabbit. I honestly didn’t know there was a judging process after submission but I guess that makes sense. Anyway, here is my two page comic.

As I mentioned in a previous entry, I’m taking an etching class.

I had to think long and hard on … Read More

I printed a stereoscopic book in December for which I didn’t make an entry in my blog yet. So here goes. This book is a bit different from all my previous book in that it has one color illustrations (for the stereoscopic effect, the illustration is printed twice with different colors, but you can read … Read More

I signed up for a oil painting class this semester. I’ve never done oil painting and after going to the MET a few times, I felt I had to learn it, do “real art” if you will. The paintings you see above are the “wash-ins”, it’s just the color Raw Umber in different shades. Later … Read More

I’m working on a comic anthology with a couple other people called “Three-armed squid”. We will have it done just in time for Mocca, and each one of us will contribute a four page comic using the four seasons as a theme. My theme is “summer”. Original my idea was about an office person stuck … Read More
