"House in my dream"

























Yes, another year of Fall is here..
Sometimes, I recall my memory but I'm not sure if it was from my memorable dream or reality. I had seen this tall house with stairs and warm light. I feel like i need to draw this before it fades away..

I've been told that my art style could be good fit for children's book illustrations so I chose to attend LA SCBWI Conference and I was so happy and surprised to receive SCBWI Mentorship award and it meant so much to me..

I will continue to grow as an artist and person and make something meaningful to kids..

"Chipmunk"




















As a drawing a chipmunk, I found interesting facts about how beaver and chipmunk are relatives from long time ago and both of them have different personality traits. While beaver is working hard type, chipmunk likes freedom, being more like bohemian type. Sad part about beaver is that if beaver doesn't use his teeth too often, his teeth will grow and it will penetrate through his skull and he will die eventually.. :(

School





















This is my first post in 2015! There are lots of things going on January..One big thing for me is to
leave animation studio that I used to work at. It was great learning experience for me working on cool project for nickeoldeon and I got to connect with great people as well.. It was tough decision..but it will be good time for me to take a break a bit and have time working on my personal work. Here are some stuff I've been working on... :)
