Part of a Calendar on Zazzle. Are you Sure? is the first image I completed after I returned from Korea and India, and was in my own country again. Shaken, a little, by the oddity of this, I returned to the roots of these drawings–Ghanaian trotros, steam-powered trains, and potent, Read more…
In October of 2010, I visited the Taj Mahal. It was delightful to get out of Mumbai, experience a smaller city, the Indian trains, and the majesty of this wondrous building. It is truly awe inspiring, and in this image, I tried to pay homage to its color scheme–white marble Read more…
Print available on Fine Art America. Part of a Calendar on Zazzle. “Run After Me” is a transition piece. I began this piece in Korea, and used Korean designs, Korean buildings, and a Korean subway. By the time I reached the bottom of the image, I had been thrown headlong Read more…
When I left Korea, I drew a number of pictures for close friends. This image incorporates the word “Salda” in Korean, which is the verb for “to live.” It also incorporates Korean temple painting designs, a waterfall, and a butterfly.
A lot of things weighed heavily on my mind, and this was one of the products of that weight…
Print on Imagekind. One of the amazing things about having a salary (ie, a full time job) is that you have money to spend on art! In “Fly Away” I’m trying out some concepts with new pens. I bought a set of Straedler colored pens and some Shinhan artist markers Read more…
Based off of a character in a book I was deeply involved in (ie, writing), “Her City” was another exercise in intricacy. It’s primarily fluff, but I really like the center part of the image.
No cities, no trucks and trains–just the simplicity of the lines, the serenity of her face…
Purchase a print or card on Fine Art America. “Always a Part of Something Indescribable” This image, completed over my wild and travel-extensive birthday weekend. My artwork slowed down during the spring months because I was traveling so frequently, but when I picked up my pens and markers again, some Read more…
This image was the first one I finished in the new sketchbook that I ordered, and begins to incorporate Korean motifs–especially the subway and the Asian roofs. This one was mostly a fluff piece, because I was still hopelessly missing the old sketchbook!
Print Available on Imagekind. You Can Bury It was an exercise in several things: conflicting color schemes, telling a story, geometric styles… I took on a big project when I undertook this image. Still in my transitional sketchbook, I really wanted to draw how I experienced Korea, its culture, and Read more…
In early January, I made a terrible mistake and put an untrustworthy water bottle into the bag where I kept my sketchbook. In the dead of winter, at one of the hardest points in my Korean year, I doused all my art, and blank sketchbook pages in weak tea. Read more…
One of the main things I did in Korea to keep myself sane was draw. It was almost a meditative practice, but it became absolutely essential that I gave myself time to do two things: listen to English TV, and draw. This is another low quality scan, unfortunately, but someday Read more…
