This is a good friend Mike Lee. Before he came to Canada, he took a bus to school in Hong Kong. On that bus he would sometimes see Bruce Lee on that bus, too! Of course, this was before Bruce was famous.
Two possibilities exist : either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

I had some 5x7 postcards produced if you're looking for some whimsical paintings to frame or use to mail to friends. I'll throw some stickers in with each order.
Llyn Mymbyr, Snowdonia. This view looking in the opposite direction to Snowdon. First time using a Uniball UB-150, but the paper allowed it to bleed somewhat so the lines were a little heavier than intended. I think it would benefit from better quality paper or a finer pen.
Just a small drawing of Yuri that I made for my friend. Not that good, and I most certainly did not get her shirt color right (hehe...). Anyway if you have any feedback please give it to me! I am hoping to improve my art by trying to post as much as I can :)
Part of a huge doodle. Started as a doodle while I talked to a friend on the phone. She was one of those non-stop-don't-interupt-me talkers. I got hours of work done while on the phone. It ended up being purchased by our local public gallery for $4,000 bucks. Not bad! And I may use it in a future children's book.
digital artwork of sunflowers, made in procreate app on ipad, from the other images you can see i used multiple layers for each sunflower and leaf, meaning the image can be manipulated repeatedly and individual elements enlarged or removed depending on preference, contact me via instagram if you would like to purchase as a print
A geometrically stylized Doe and fawn illustration intended for the purposes of a greeting card. Materials used: Water soluble colored pencil, graphite pencil
This was originally supposed to be a swamp landscape, but I got frustrated with the colors not blending, etc. I painted the whole canvas black and ended up with this
Colored pencil drawing of pomegranates "in progress." Prismacolor and Verithin pencils with some fine lines done with Tombow Irojiten pencils. I like the harder colored pencils for fine detail, but the blending of high wax and oil pencils can't be beat for blending.
Prismacolor colored pencil drawing of stylized begonias. This was fun, especially making the leaves have a satin texture. I printed this on card stock as a blank card to give to friends.
My friend is no longer a single dad. His amazing son just died in a car accident. I have to do something ..so I'm doing this.
Not finished.. ink with water on artboard.
May 2019 was a month that I focused on collaging my own handmade paper together to create illustrations. I also started trying out gouache, to mixed results. It's a skill I intend to learn!
