Flight of the Cranes is a mixed media illustration inspired by the classic Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints of Hokusai and Hiroshige. This artwork is also my artistic response to the those affected and lost in the recent earthquake/tsunami in Japan.
The fine art print is available on my Etsy store, under the new Charity section, with 50% of sales donated to the Red Cross.

Teaming up with Etsy groups (Artist Aid and Etsians for Disaster Relief), I’ve set up a special Charity section on my Etsy store dedicated to causes I’m passionate about.
Right now, the most urgent cause is the disaster in Japan. Percentage of all items sold (50% of artwork and 100% of jewelry) in this section will be donated to the Red Cross to help in the relief effort.

This was a cover of a local newspaper, shot behind weathered glass. Thought it made a cool texture

“Lucky Spades” is a light-hearted rendition of Lady Luck, with touches of shamrocks and St. Patrick’s Day. The creative process of producing cartoon style artwork is very uplifting, a stark contrast from the mental mindset necessary to produce the darker, gothic surrealist pieces. Like all my artwork, this was originally sketched in pen on paper. It was later redrawn in Adobe Illustrator and is available as a shirt.

Inspired by old social/political ink drawings, this emotional piece is about being swept away by external forces (incidents, people, etc) and the negative emotions that come with it: fear, ignorance, hate, jealousy and insecurity.
The piece was created with pen and scanned into the computer. Text was created on a path in Illustrator and subtle coloring/texture was added in Photoshop.

Freehand pen drawing is always very therapeutic, but horrible on the eyes

Rambo Rabbit is a hand-illustrated character armed with a carrot gun and a take-no-prisoners attitude. The design is available as a shirt.
Having the t-shirt medium is very freeing as it gives me the opportunity to dabble in different art styles. I realize the subject of “animals and guns” is not a new concept, but I wanted to explore my own version. The inspiration stems from Tokidoki’s lovable creatures with guns, a conversation with a friend and a live-action 80s comedy film. Although I don’t recall the name of the film, the opening sequence always stuck with me–the main character was a cartoonist and draws a rabbit, which comes to life and starts shooting people. That was perhaps the most interesting part of the movie too, but overall, film is always a great inspiration.
