The Snake Charmer is pen and digital piece that is part of the “Tomato de Arbol” #4 zine (Argentina), focusing on Fables. I was influenced by the story of the Pied Piper, luring snakes instead of people.

This solemn illustration was created for the Tomate de Arbol Magazine (Argentina), Issue 3: “End of the World”. Yours truly could be found on pages 8-9, alongside dozens of other artists from around the globe.

This piece was inspired by the King Tut Art Exhibition at the De Young Museum in San Francisco. I’ve always been fascinated by the incorporation of the dung beetle into the Egyptian mythology as a Scarab, a creature associated with the god Khepri, who pushed the sun through the Egyptian underworld. In my version, I replaced suns with eyeballs, as eyes are the windows to the soul–our own suns. The beetles are created in a bio-mechanical style and the minimal colors elude to the Ancient Egyptian influence.
This is an exploration of intricate patterns and skulls from Sherrie Thai’s sketchbook. Decor galore!
My sketchbook is a personal art sanctuary: a place of meditation, simple wanderings, and exploration. This sketch was inspired by my trip to Mexico, complete with Aztec influences, mountainous terrain, and church steps.
Here is a random page from the sketchbook. Creatures sometimes emerge from the patterns. Take a closer look.
As it’s now December, Christmas will soon be upon us. I created Holly Reindeer to celebrate the occasion.
Inspired by the prints of Hiroshige, Mountain & Trees is a wintery illustration that would work well as an e-card. This was created with a few different brush and fine-tip pens. I’ve been exploring minimal color as an accent, not a crutch for the line-work.
Dragon Circle is an apparel design soon to be on Zazzle. This was another pen/ink drawing converted in Adobe Illustrator.
After work, I usually catch the train and start adding to my sketchbook. It’s a solitary act and a form of meditation. I’ve been told that it looks pretty intense, so I may extend it to other mediums.
