I’m happy to finally be able to share this project I finished in January! Here’s the full video before I get into the backstory and process 🙂 (Please set to HD to if the text is blurry. Btw this was a video I took for David’s review purposes, I will take better videos next time for the blog… Read More Process: A Story for You (Custom Book)
This month I wanted to create something inspired by Valentine’s Day (even though it technically won’t arrive with anyone by Valentine’s Day… but never mind :)). I wanted it to be sweet but not too saccharine. After a couple false starts, I started thinking about a passage from the Little Prince and an accompanying image idea came… Read More Process: GARDEN Words & Illustration
The Girl | Back in July a very sweet girl from London emailed me with a very sweet request for a commissioned drawing. The girl (let’s call her K) wanted to something that would encourage her friend (let’s call him N) to pursue his passions in art, animation and film. She told me he was very… Read More A Cute Little Project Back Story
Playing a little catch up here 🙂 I did do these weekly but blog posts proved to be a little more time-consuming than I wanted! Might be my favorite one so far, coffee stain and all. Surprised people liked this one, I thought it would be too boring. I guess it’s clearer reading my thoughts… Read More Weekly Illo #11-15: A Round Up!
Hello! Here’s a little post on my process for this illustration 🙂 I really like watching people’s process videos when I have time. Not only do I learn a lot, it adds so much more context to the final product. I know it takes away some of the mystery, but overall I think it’s nice to… Read More Everything You Can Imagine: Digital Illustration Process

Not the look of playing cards, but a game game. One thing at… Read More Weekly Illo #10: July 13-19, 2015
Additional thoughts: – Oops I messed up on the dates. It should be July 6-12, not 5-12. Mistakes make it feel more REAL right?? 🙂 – This week I thought it’d be a fun challenge to focus on two things from the week that have rather abstract names and try to visualize them. They are The… Read More Weekly Illo #9: July 5-12, 2015
Additional thoughts: – We’re in July. We’re in July. How does this happen? I know I’m a broken record. This month is important. – I like how random LA is. I’m reminded of this whenever I do these entries. We are lucky to have so many random things to do. Back to the Future in… Read More Weekly Illo #8: June 29-July 5, 2015
Additional thoughts: Not sure if this week’s illo was a success, definitely not one of my favorites even though I spent a ton of time on the right side. However, it was fun exercise in trying to emulate the style of an artist I really like, and I do like how that specific part came… Read More Weekly Illo #7: June 22-28, 2015
Additional thoughts: – As with any disciplinary practice, I’ve hit the week where I struggled to get this done on time. These are definitely getting more complicated, i.e. taking more time. A part of me wants to simplify and make sure they stay manageable, but a part of me is enjoying the mental challenge of… Read More Weekly Illo #6: June 15-21, 2015
