Here is a shot of some Cosplay a couple of friends have been working on recently-

Happy Thanksgiving

gobble gobble, a nice shot of the pies before we attack

Great taste, less filling

Photographers Creed

A friend of mine told me when you have a photoshoot its always good to get some behind the scenes photos of what you were doing and where you were taking your photos. Its a way of recording your work. Kind of like a living portfolio in a way. So last night when doing some night shots in a parking lot my designer friend snapped a photo of me at work. At least on location- I will post some photos of the night when the project is done- cheers

Dancing in the Moonlight

More dancing and more night shots... Something really moved me about this particular shot though

Happy Feet

Just a step to the right...

Boat...

I look out at the ocean and think how free I feel to live so close to the beach... and then I see someone out on a sail boat... and think life can always be better-

Full Moon Sway

Yikes it's been a while since I have posted~ sorry for the delay

The legend of the Super Saiyan

Now you might be thinking this looks like the work of an 8 year old... well you're pretty close. This is one of the earliest drawings I still have. It is of Goku from Dragonball Z. I will draw a... more recent one this weekend to show a little progress i have made over the years- Enjoy

Cloudy days

Even on the cloudiest of days... a little light can shine the brighter. Now I am quitin this art and photo stuff to make Hallmark cards- or "to beat someone into submission with a rainbow..."

No... I will see you all tomorrow

3 rules to being a Mangaka

Everyone once in a while rather than an art or photo piece I will throw in some motivational quotes I live by. This came from a Japanese comic called Bakuman-


1. Be conceited, believe you can do better than anyone else.

2. Work Hard.

3. Be Lucky....

Lights...lights...lights...

It was a scissor sisters concert... but Kanye came to mind....

Aniki to youbei ( call me brother )

This is my Yakuza munny I made a while back. Its got the tats and the cool composure to demonstrate as much. It's inspired by artist like Murakami who believe that art can be done on any medium. So i am following suit- enjoy

Read between the lines-

I have been working on an expressive line project for several days now. The point of this exercise is to say as much as possible with as little as possible. From this I built this image in color using the lines as a guide and then just filing in the blanks with a little value and color- It conveys a lot of feelings using the same few words.

By any other name...

Diffused light has a way of bringing out the true subtleties in anything. This captures those sweet feelings so well

Queen of Hearts

This is a piece of a series I currently have in the works. It is a testament to the many women who have played an integral part in my life. This includes love, friendship, and family. I work a lot in mixed media using ink, pen, markers, watercolor, and paint. Here is a small sample of some of the art that is on it's way- enjoy
