Its really hard at this time to be posting my really superficial art when half way across the world people are suffering some things I could never imagine in my life. Yet as I read the Word of my God, I am convicted that even here among me are ones that will suffer a million times greater pain then that which is happening in Japan and even Haiti or any other world disaster. And it really breaks my heart to think of my unfaithfulness to my God and how sorry I am to the people he put around me that I would selfishly choose my own dignity over their life. I just don't think I can see myself as an illustrator for much longer. For a while now I've felt this way though, that God never meant for me to be doing this for a living, but I've alway clinged to some bit of it. I think know I understand how urgent God's will is, that I can't really waste much more time.

WOOPS

HEY~

So, i guess its been a while again since I last did some blogging. But for good reason though, I hadn't been really content with the work I was producing and so it felt really wrong posting up my really-horrible-half-hearted... trash. Anyways, but now that I'm back, I thought it be nice to use this blog as more than just a place where I can dump my art onto. Maybe I'd try some of this blogging stuff out. Y'know, a little heart to heart with the internet, do a little emotional sharing yah? yup, ok. sorry if I don't make sense, it happens a lot for me. : P

Anyways, so heres the plan. I'll be posting up one artwork every other day, hopefully. For me, each piece that I have made, since my absense, has some emotional significance to me. I won't lie, I thank God for all that He's brought me through as an artist, and I am where I'm at by His grace. I'll slowly be sharing this as I put up my art since I totally see God's hand as he guides me through this journey. And dood, guys. Don't belittle the Lord, heres why.

This week is like scholarship week at Art Center where some students have a chance to showcase their work in the hallways. It's always been a fun week for us students as we have this chance to relax and admire some of the talent thats been hidden under a rock.... where all the magic happens. Sometimes the stuff up is brilliant, sometimes its just okay. I have to say that the best work I've seen came from these two guys that I know. you should check um out, Noel Jiminez and Andrew Ho. No, i dont have a link. I don't even know if they have a blog or not. O_O

But anyways coming back to this. Both of them are phenomenal artist, and coincidentally both are believers. I mean not just like christian doods though, they are like inlove with the Lord, and I can see how God has really blessed them with tremendous talent. And I have to say, my favorite artists that I've gone to school with are those devoted to the Lord. When you put God's will first, He's gonna provide and you'll prosper wherever you go. It's a priviledge to know these people and over the course Ill introduce some of em to you... maybe. Can I get in trouble for blogging about someone???? gosh...

anyways so heres my first piece, circa October 2010. Man, I'm pooped from all this blogging. I think I'll explain this piece next time.

Dump

Alrighty, so I havrn't posted in a long time once again but i got several images to share along with one video. Do enjoy!

Trying New Stuffs

So I didn't make it into Society of Illustrators and once again its been a while since I last posted something. But, I have a few images I've been working on lately though some of which I've used to apply for American Illustration and I'm hoping for the best. :-)

One of them is not done. They are all done with ink and monoprint techniques on newsprint. Hope you enjoy!

oops

One more piece.

But yeah, man, life is good. It's toublesome sometimes and I got a lot of issues to deal with but I'm feeling really thankful right now. Like I'm gonna explode with happiness.

Back

So it's been a long time since my last post. Actually what happened was that I forgot the password to my blog account so I didn't bother retrieving it till today. So heres a quick update of a few things I've made since the last time I was on. As well as an old piece that I actually scanned. Hope you enjoy. Life is good.

Summer Break

Hey guys! I just started my summer break about two weeks ago and I've been diligently painting away with my friends, Andrew Ho and Matt Hayashida. It's funny to think that in just one more week school starts up again. Anyways, here are the pieces we've been working on. The one with the giant duck is mine.
