Here are some Lunar New Year / Chinese New Year comics and illustrations I made. And since, celebrations go on for several more days, I’ll probably be adding more art. So much inspiration to be had from family, rituals and food. It’s the Super Bowl of holidays for my family.

Making Comics Again
I’ve taken a long break from making comics and it was a necessary break. I needed to re-discover my love of writing and drawing again – appreciating that I have a particular point of view and style that is all my own. I’m not here to measure up to some nebulous idea in my head […]
New Business (Mini) Cards
I recently re-designed my name mark by using a more beefy type – a nice balance of round and hard edges – and added a swoosh element over the dots of the i’s to symbolize: It’s simple and minimalist which is a hallmark of my work. Instead of having standard-sized business cards printed, I opted […]
Happy May the 4th Be With You
For a good chunk of my career, my days were centered on creating new Star Wars character illustrations to be released in time for May the 4th – fan favorite USB flash drives like this C-3PO which I am super proud of. So, it was only right that my kiddo would be born on this […]
Drawing Pokemon Fanart a Day

Water bottle and carrying case…
SOooOOOoOOooOoo tempting to order this just for the carrying case BUT (a) I love my Owala bottle too much and (b) I’m not one to carry a water bottle with a strap – it’s usually shoved into a bag or backpack. Instead, can Taylor and her team offer up just the strap separately because then […]
Traffic Sign Redesign
The new sign “Cars Only” doesn’t work because most people think cars is a more general term that applies to vans, small trucks and anything with four wheels. This is something quick I did, but would a bright red sign with “No Trucks” work better to avoid Storrow-ing?
