A sample of one of my abstract collages - Acrylics, paper and pens on watercolour paper.

A bear enjoying a rest at a waterfalls. Done with a fountain pen. I drew this as a Teacher's Day present for my Korean language instructor.

A doodle in the series "Spot the Tennis Ball Doodle" I did years ago. There are many story in this drawing. One thing makes me love doodling the best is you can put so many stories within a single canvas. I love stories, I love telling as much. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The main story I want to tell here in this picture is the loving CARROT fox. He just desperately want to have carrot for meals but only the Hares, Rabbits grow them. And they doesn't like foxes. But lucky for him, somehow, he find a friend who can help him with that, a HARE friend. The friendship of two is beautiful. Hm, you know, just one of the normal days, the Fox wait for the Hare to carry for him a carrot. The waiting was long and Fox just couldn't stay still. But the Hare came finally, and the Fox was so happy, he JUMP!

my first ever piece of art i sold was this piece, i think around 2012 when i started going into more illustrative based work. its great to look back and see the progression and level i have progressed. i remember thinking this was the best i could do but now if i did something on the same level i wouldnt be so happy. i got a lot of good feedback off this piece and do plan on recreating it one day :))...

My mind is on Puna so much lately. I love Hawaii...was born there and rediscovered it as an adult. I stay in Puna area when I go, in little houses I rent, or once, housesitting for a friend. This drawing was made one day when Mom and Dad and I went to Pohoiki to sketch. This little cottage and park is in the path of the flow and may already be gone. You can no longer drive there as the roads have been cut off by the lava flow. My heart goes out to all Hawaii residents dealing with this massive lava flow, and the VOG that goes with it. There might be a few weird reflections in this as I had to take a pic of it on my screen to get a file large enough....I gave the original to a friend who lives near the park.

Brutus - pen and Ink - part of my hare series

Quick one here for today, just playing around with new concepts.

This is the converted school bus that belonged to Route 66 super sketcher Bob Waldmire (RIP). It's here at our museum, so I sketched it one day. It's an amazing studio/home on wheels!!

ocean King Doodle

Vintage weightlifters, surreal octopodes that look like my friends, and rabbits, rabbits, rabbits.

Listen, I wish I could explain the content of this sketchbook to you better, because you do deserve better, but I have nothing.

Cause butterflies never lead to the dark forest.

Having fun drawing with various pens creating a two headed monster.

My friend and I are trying to nail down a tattoo idea for her that involves witchcraft and weight lifting. (Note: the final picture was supposed to be two different ones, but appears to be repeating itself. This happens to me sometimes. Not sure how to fix it.)

Som simple character illustrations before working on them in illustrator.

Taxman, Skethnotes of the Beatles song lyrics. The song was stuck in my head while I finished my taxes this weekend.

...when you login into DA to submit an entry into a drawing challenge a day late. Whoops.

Perhaps one of the darker ideas with this series. I was thinking that the universe is trying to look at its own hands but has no way of seeing them.

Drawing. Fountain pen ink and water on paper.

This is old (2007). I used to work at the ad agency that had the Harley-Davidson account for a number of years. I always carry around a Moleskine sketchbook and take meeting notes on one side while doodling on the page next to it. This doodle ended up being used extensively in the Harley-Davidson "Dark Custom" campaign as well as on a line of Dark Custom Motorclothes. It say's "FUCK YEAH" in it and they never noticed. :)

Touch the sky

Another doodle representing food :)

This is the first little 'Thumbodies' character that I designed during the holidays. She has many other kind, creative & adventurous friends! Online comic & doodles @ doodletowncomic.com

It has been always very hard for me to be a morning person, luckily coffee and doodles in the morning have made the process more fun :)
