This past Saturday, I had the opportunity to show and sell my work at the Whitney Museum as part of the “Desert Island Comic Zine Party”. Other artists showing their work included: Jungyeon Roh, Noah Lyon, Chris Uphues, Partyka Collective, Jen Tong, Sto, and Chris Patch. I never signed my name as much as I … Read More

New York Comic-con
Went to my very first comic-con last Friday. Although I’m a big anime / manga geek, I’ve never been to a convention because it looked intimidating with all the people dressed up as characters. I decided to give it a go this year for two reasons: first I found out some artists I like would … Read More
Gumbo Limbo mini comic
This piece was inspired from a dream I had in which gigantic alligators were fighting each other. I thought gigantic alligators would make a really really cool visual. So I made this 16 page comic about a field trip to the Everglades gone wrong. There are no words, just pictures. Also, this comic has a … Read More
Man vs. wild foldout poster
This piece is inspired from a piece I have created by Tomi Um, an illustrator I met at SVA a couple of years ago. I really like the concept behind the piece, that as you unfold it a new image reveals itself furthering the story. So this is my piece in response to that. Also, … Read More
Desert Island Comic Zine Party
I’ll be showing / selling my work at the Whitney Museum on October 15 as part of the “Desert Island Comic Zine Party”. Don’t really know what to expect since, I believe, this is the first comic theme event the Whitney has had.

The author of the blog is Hans Bacher, an animation production artist. He actually has a book out called Dream Worlds. Anyway, the site catalogs visual references, … Read More
Society of Illustrators Sketch night
I’d been meaning to go to the Society of Illustrators figure drawing sessions. Somebody had told me the sessions were like parties, and I wanted to see it for myself. I finally went on Thursday night, and it was by far the most upscale drawing session I’ve ever been to. Instead of being held in … Read More
Flipbook project
My new project, which I hope to finish by October (doesn’t seem likely at this point, but maybe I can pull a miracle) is a flipbook. I’ve always wanted to do animation, but never studied it in depth. I’ve done about three very short hand drawn animations before, but this is the first one where … Read More
Portraits
My portraiture class ended two weeks ago, so here are some of the drawings I did for it. I think I’ve gotten better at drawing likenesses, but I still need practice. One of the portraits in the line-up is of an imaginary person, but I won’t say who.
New Book :The Cambrian
A few months ago, I bought a book called “The age of reptiles: the art and science of Rudolph Zallinger’s great dinosaur mural at Yale”. The book has a reproduction of the mural that folds like an accordeon, and it inspired me to do something similar. So for the past four months I’ve been working … Read More
