Tiger’s Back Mountain, known throughout China as a place where heroes go to die. Why you would want to meet at a place like that, I haven’t the slightest.

scene from a dream. my dreams have gotten pretty strange and disjointed, but they do make nice color scripts, so I can’t complain.

You Lift Me Up. (Flame Princess & Finn are the cutest! I am generally inclined to make things as sappy as possible, so this piece came out looking like a dorky Valentine’s Day card)

Will be selling this as a print at Sakuracon THIS weekend (March 29th-31st), hope to see you there!!

Close-up of the last art post, since a few people asked. I’ve also uploaded my current Photoshop brush settings, which features a ton of useful texture brushes for foliage:

You’ll never find another love like my love.

(Been meaning to make Spirited Away art for ages because I absolutely adore this film. I’ll be debuting this as a 12x18 print at Sakuracon this weekend!)

Marceline x Bubblegum is so totes adorbs that it hurts my face.

Colored version of this sketch which I’ll be selling at Sakuracon!

Repose. We all need a quiet place, away from it all.

(Found this old Jiuzhaigou inspired sketch and spruced it up into a print)

abstract color studies, I’ve been doing these on a semi-regular basis for a while now.  I often dream in shapes & colors; it’s a nice break from vivid nightmares. 

quick colors over the previous sketch…these days after work, I only want to draw the things that I love.

sketching with my favorite Photoshop line brush… I’m going to be dreaming about Japanese Spitzes from now until my puppy arrives

The Waterfall Goddess of Jiuzhaigou Valley (九寨沟), carving out mountains with streams and planting the first tree of the Primeval Forest.

I really want to make a art series about the mythology surrounding Jiuzhaigou…

Figuring out how to stylize a Japanese Spitz puppy because I’m getting one in a few weeks. Excitement abounds!!

sketch studies from people watching at pike place market (folks in Seattle really like their layers) 

A crop of what I’ve been working on between lunch breaks… inspired by the thousands of gentle streams in Jiuzhaigou, China

the recent stream of rainy days in Seattle is starting to get to me, so now I’m planning a trip to a palmy beach somewhere! I keep searching everywhere for a kitten emoticon swimsuit - won’t someone please make one? :D
