A painting for my cousin. It's a Barbados landscape. The donkey cart wasn't in the photo reference, so I had to imagine how it would look, so the perspective is off a little. The dog in the back of the cart is a painting of her dog who passed away last year. She really loved the painting.

R.I.P Michael Jackson!

I got inspiration for this from Michael Jackson's music video 'Childhood'.

The Courage of Thor

These are 4 of my favourite pages from my book :)

Vanitas

...no matter how many material things we have, we can not take them with us when we die.

Joan of Arc

Some images of the biography of Joan of Arc that I did for SVA Junior Thesis exhibition in 2008. I was waiting to add them after I scanned all of them properly, but then I never did! So here are some photos I took.

Mask!

A mask I made for a literature class I was taking. It was done very quickly, but I still like how it came out, plus it's fun to play with!

Scarecrow!

Here is my scarecrow puppet again. A close up this time of him using his special abilities to run on the wall.lol

Creatures

These were done on 5"x7" wood. They were just for fun. I think I'll do some more some day!

Mouse! and Nog again

This one is supposed to be Frank Sinatra as a hopping mouse. I chose the hopping mouse because they have these long tails with fuzzy ends that are so cute!

Here is a photo of my marionette Nog! and an illustration from my story The Courage of Thor in the background. I hope to make the other characters from the story some day as well. ^^

Bat with bad hearing.lol

Jack and Jill

This is my interpretation of Jack and Jill, as two fish like beings trying to reach the great hole in the sky! haha. I think I might continue this story some day!

Fairytale- The Doll in the Grass

When the doll falls into the water, she is brought back up by a merman, and she is no longer a doll, but a human girl!

SVA Illustration and Cartooning Open Studio Show 2009

School of Visual Arts- Fresh Meat 2009

Aram and Jiyoon both bought a copy of my book!
This is my work, and my friend Jungyeon's work on the right.

So I went to Fresh Meat for the first time this year. I had a table with my friends Shannon and Jungyeon! It was a lot of fun. I worked on a story called 'The Courage of Thor' for porfolio class, and my friend Shannon helped me to put it together into a book. So I made many copies, and sold them at Fresh Meat! woo!

Nog! my marionette- complete :)

Marionette

Scarecrow Rod Puppet

Ok, so I realise I've been a bad blogger, because I have not been posting things! I've just been so busy I suppose. But from now on, I will try to update as often as I can!

This is a little video I made of my rod puppet. I actually made the puppet based on the scarecrow illustrations I posted a while back.
