Trio

For this series of drawings I chose simple line work and composition, with the addition of abstract color strokes. The idea is to say that while something may appear simplistic, or common, the underlying emotion may be unexpected-more colorful or complex than what one sees on the surface.

the puppet maker

"what if one day we are not the one who in control anymore? where we stand if rabbit s 3 times bigger than human?" that's popular theme in sci fi fiction. this is my take :)

narrative painting #3

After 6 months I return to school for craig's narrative painitng class, which is one of the most difficult class in art department, from my opinion.
We have 60 choices of theme for assignment #3. I chose "This was one unhappy camper". Since I didn't know the meaning of the line. I created the illustration literally on it. Here is the color com of the piece. Next to it is the under drawing of the illustration. In this stage I used gesso and modeling paste to create the background texture. It represents the chaos environment.

Across the Universe

I did this illustration for a song of the Beatles, Across the Universe. It was the assigment from Portfolio class.
I tried to translate the beautiful lyric into the paper, such as " words are flowing out like endless rain", :drifting through my open mind" and "million eyes". It's done by collage and ink. Now I am trying some color effect on separete material. Then I will play it in the PS.
12.5 X 25.

A Silent Song

pencil drawing of A Silent Song.
It's a bout a blank looking girl who has many to say but don't know how to/refuse to release.
It start from the sketch I did at a cafe. That afternoon I ended up drinking too much coffee then I could n't fall in sleep until 6 a.m.

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.

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.

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.

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.
