This sketch was inspired by the Pacific Orchid Expo at Fort Mason. The pen/ink illustration was created in a couple of hours, during my commute.
The gadgets of Steam Alchemy are wonderful pieces of art. They’re part of the Steam Punk movement.
Chinese Mountains is another exploration of style. It was created with a few different pens. The mixing of organic and geometric lines elude to a modernization of the chinese culture–traditional landscapes and modern skyscrapers.

I’m super duper excited about this! My photos and illustrations are featured on the Bebo.com Homepage (US/CA only) with their new Lifestream/ Photo Timeline launch. It’s a cool feature where your photo albums are placed in a visual timeline–very interactive and clickable piece.
My feature will be up for a week. You’ll have to refresh (F5) the page about 10 times, but I’m happy it’s there! My Bebo Profile
A screenshot of my page is included in an article by Kara Swisher (covering tech issues for The Wall Street Journal and Boomtown) about the new innovations between AOL and Bebo here. It’s also featured in Venture Beat, focusing on the lifestream service.
Bruce Lee was not only a great cultural icon and martial artist, but a great thinker as well. I wanted to bring attention to his inspirational Jeet Kun Do philosophy through this shirt design: “Learn, Master, Achieve”. View larger.
Self-Portrait was part of an experiment with my new remote control (and tripod) for the XTi digital camera. It’s great to see instant results with the playback button, but it took about 40 frames to get something decent–with lots of running back and forth. There was major cropping and a little contrast adjustment.
This is by far my favorite pen and of course, weapon of choice for all the microscopic sketches and concept designs. View larger image here.
Happy Valentine’s Day, AKA Singles Awareness Day! I view it as a day of love and thoughtfulness, not necessarily about couples, so have fun!
This illustration was a creative refresh of a Cupid skin in Photoshop and Illustrator. View larger image here.
Since Valentines is here, there’s love in the air, so that was the theme to these designs. One Love is inspired by a phrase in Bob Marley’s song, “One Love”, but expanded to include the text “One Love, One Hope, One Voice.” It’s done in a grungy fashion, and incorporates my urban calligraphy. It’s based on the inclusive attitude of the hip-hop and reggae musical communities. The shirts are available for men and women here.
Dying for Love is a goofy visual pun. This design can also be found on Zazzle.
Inspired by the Cookie Monster and Valentines Day, the Love Monster eats hearts for breakfast. Indicative of the “Happy Insanity” t-shirt series, this design has a little bit of cynicism mixed with humor. He can be purchased here.
