today is the official end of my 4 and half year studying in AAU. I made it!









oil on panel, 16x20

TWO

Acrylic on wood.12x16. I try to make it work for fashion market too, since I love to draw girls and pattern so much anyway.

From Quick study project. Oil on canvas.

Chairs.

I wasn't sure while I took the picture of chairs on Valencia street in a very early morning. Turn out I like the loneliness coming out from the painting. To me it looks like a greeting card I would send to someone and write down " wish you were here".It took a little over than an hour to finish.

study of girl.

I've been doing research for fashion illustration. here are pen and ink sketches.

some of my illustration work are published in  blir 10, please check it out.

Snow White and Friends

This assignment is Propaganda. When I watch some of the Disney's Films, how human and animal are friendly to each other, sharing and respecting what mother nature provide to us, I think they sugarcoat the reality. Here the innocent looking Snow White stands in the middle of burning forest, the changing of environment hurts the animal, also the human.

11 1/4 x 23, Acrylic on Wood.

I can't stop drawing girl and birds.

When I saw the pen and ink works by Zac Smith in SFMOMA in 2006, the art works amazed me. I love how he combined graphic and realistic element together in portrait. I was trying to design pattern into the girl portrait and making it more interesting to look at. 

playing with color is fun

I was practicing to paint in different style, which I think would be my style for children book. Here I used the photograph from spring's costume carnival. 9x12, Oil on canvas.

for fecal face, theme:sexy. pencil, watercolor, acrylic

Conservatory of flowers. watercolor.

Today sun didn't come out till 2 p.m. Freeze!

june

Right after summer intersection then is summer school. taking two at one time isn't as fun as I thought. Now I am trying to re-work the assignments from portfolio class, and doing pieces that good for my web site. At the same time, What I really need to think about it's what kind of illustration I want to do the MOST. 

some sketchbook pages. 

Into the wild

This is the final for portfolio class, book cover illustration for Into the wild. I think the story is interesting, somehow I can related to the character in some part. I choose to do the image that he spent his last stage of life in the "magic bus", Alaska. How he had been trap in the geometric shapes, and his warm is surround by cold blue . 18x12,Acrylic 0n illustration board.

I am happy to study under Kazu and Chuck, Also It's great to studying with class of talented people. Have a good summer!

editorial "Conformity"

It's an editorial work for a scientific article "The Selfless Gene". From studying of chimpanzee, they have ability to fit in with a group and adopt its customs. Here a girl and monkeys soak in gene pool-to fit in better they have to put on smiling mask and nice to each other-even in the nature we are not so selfless at all.

11x8.5, charcoal and acrylic on print making paper.

fine art studio class always like the fresh air. I've learn a lot of technique from Tomutsu's painting class. also it's fun to watch how other people do the thing, when I see the painting of charcoal and oil wash, I can't wait to try it myself. this is just a small study. anyone has this experience, i am happy to learn^_^
