Laura wrapped in plastic. This is from the old TV show, Twin Peaks. The characters and and story are pretty far out there.... but I loved it!

So long 2011...

2011-12-31T06:58:00.001-08:00

2011 was pretty eventful for me. Doing the artist alley at ECCC in March was a lot of fun. I took tons of cosplay photos even met Phoenix Jones.

inFAMOUS 2 and inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood (DLC) for PS3 came out this year. Also did another panel talk at PAX Prime on 2D cutscenes construction for inFAMOUS to a small but enthusiastic crowd... thanks to all those folks that showed up. Hope you like the t-shirts. ;)

Going into 2012, I have couple of personal projects in the works and will share when I have anything concrete to show... so check back often.

Finally... Thanks everyone for checking out this little art blog! I really appreciate it and will try to post as much as possible. Hope everyone have a happy and prosperous new year in 2012!!

Monster Chase

2011-12-29T16:06:00.001-08:00

This is a test web comic idea I was playing around with. Doing a regular web comic would be fun but it is a lot of work to keep some sort of schedule daily or weekly. The upside... once the story arc is over, it can probably be collected in a regular comic to sale at Emerald Con. Maybe if I have a good enough idea, I might give it a try.

Star Wars sketch cards

2011-12-29T09:33:00.001-08:00

These are my Star Wars Galaxy 4 returned sketch cards. One collector brought them all. I'm glad the Princess Leia cards are still in a set! :)

Zombies vs Cheerleaders

2011-12-28T18:01:00.000-08:00

This one page strip is in Zombies vs Cheerleaders #3 by Moonstone Books. I just did the line art earlier this year. Story, colors, and lettering by someone else.

Woody and Buzz

2011-11-16T17:32:00.001-08:00

About a week ago, I attended a story/anim masterclass taught by Matthew Luhn and Andrew Gordon from Pixar. It was very informative and inspiring. That weekend, I drew this fan art and send it to them to say "thanks". It's my take on Woody and Buzz except they are more human looking instead of toys.

Baron Karza

2011-11-13T07:12:00.001-08:00

This is a fan art of the Baron Karza from the Micronauts toy and comics. One of the first toys that incorporate magnets for joints so you can pull the limps apart and re-assemble them. The Marvel comics was cool too especially the Michael Golden issues.

Occupy Seattle

2011-10-15T18:31:00.001-07:00

I took a trip to Seattle and suddenly this came around the corner... Occupy Seattle marched from West Lake through Pike Place Market. Pretty surreal seeing so many protesters... and everyone else with their smart phones taking photos and videos.

Brick Con 2011

2011-10-01T17:08:00.000-07:00

Brick Con is going on this weekend at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall. It was very crowded today with lots of kids running around. Still it was really fun to see what you can do with lego blocks. Below are just a few cool lego pieces I saw.

The skull pirate island comes with a smoking top and water fall from its mouth.

Here are bunch of cube Lego dudes. Look closely to see if you can recognize any of the characters.

These Lego guns are pretty amazing. Not only are they to scale, some of them have moving parts include the rifle bolt, removable ammo clip (with Lego bullets inside!), and squeezable trigger.

I think this is one of the best one from the show. This park have animated amusement game pieces (example, the whack a mole moves up and down) as well as the amusement rides.

Beside the Lego exhibit, there are also vendors selling old Lego sets, custom characters, spare parts, and custom Lego sets. So if you are in the Seattle area this Sunday, this is worth checking out.

Doctor Who and gang

2011-09-28T10:05:00.000-07:00

Haven't done anything in this style in a long time. It was fun to do. :) Looking forward to the season finale, this Saturday.... it should be good!

Steven Frank (5finity) is doing a sketch card auction to rise money for March of Dimes. This is his fourth year doing the "Superhero for Babies" drive. I worked on 10 cards and they are all up on ebay for bidding.

You can check out the auction HERE! Don't wait too long...I think this round of auction ends this weekend.

Deputy Rick Grimes blasting away at the zombies. This is the TV version of The Walking Dead (on AMC) so I tried to get a little of Andrew Lincoln likeness for Rick. Second season start October 16th!

Bellevue Art Fair

2011-07-31T10:21:00.001-07:00

I went to Bellevue Art Fair yesterday. Lots of interesting things to look at. A big section of the Bellevue Mall garage was set up with the booths as well as a street was shut down only a block away.

Here are some pics from the event. If you're in the area, might worth checking out.

Me: 1

Big cork board: 0

"It should be a easy fit.", as I said to myself carry a large size cork board to my car. I opened the back door and quickly realized how 2 inches could make a big difference. Long story short... I dropped the front seats all the way back, slide the board in to the backseats, then upright the driver seat. Done!

You might be thinking what a odd thing to post on a art blog. If you ever get a huge cork board from the art store and you only have a small sedan to carry it back with... then this post will come in handy. ;)

2011-06-18T15:59:00.000-07:00

My take on the Sea Monkey.

I always wanted to buy it mostly because of the package illustration... But the reality that it's just some sort of a brine shrimps is a little disappointing.

Ghost Hunter 1page comic

2011-05-10T21:38:00.000-07:00

I did this in 2009 and submitted it to Taps Paramagazine. The editor liked it but they were committed to printing other comic strip. I was told they still might use it later but that didn't happen.

Now that it's couple of years later and Kris William is not investigating with Jason and Grant... this fan comic is a little out of date so there's zero hope they would use this.

Well, now everyone can check it out here. Click on the pic above to enlarge.

The Silence

2011-04-24T15:04:00.000-07:00

Second season of Doctor Who premiere last night. The Silence are the new bad guys in black suit and tie. The interesting thing about them is the second you look away from them, you'll forget them. Because of this ability, they're able to remain hidden from humans for who knows how long.

Pretty interesting first episode so far. These bad guys are just a small part of other surprises that went down.

Sakura Con 2011

2011-04-23T19:31:00.000-07:00

Today, I went to Sakura Con in Seattle, Washington Convention and Trade Center. A big event for all things manga and anime. Got there at 10:15 AM to wait in line to get register and didn't get the badge to get in till 12:30. That will teach me to pre-register for the show next year!

The show was very crowded and I score some Copic makers. There were lots of people cosplay for the event. Check out the photo parade below. It's a fun show if this is your thing.

On the web...

Weeping Angel

2011-04-15T09:45:00.001-07:00

One of the coolest bad guys from Doctor Who. Their first appearance on DW is one of my favorite episodes.

The deal is.... if you look at them, they turn to stone. But the second you close your eyes (or blink), it'll move super quick and get closer to you. So the only way to keep them away is to never blink and always keep looking at them.

Ogon Bat

2011-04-12T23:13:00.001-07:00

There are few specific memories from childhood that always stuck with me. One of them is playing with a model toy at my cousin's house in Hong Kong. I didn't even know the name of the character. It was a gold figure with a skull face wearing a black cape. He's inside a black coffin and when you open the lid and push a button, he would stand straight up. When my mom told me it's time to go, I cried and want to take the toy with me. She had to purchased the toy from my cousin so I would go home. This moment always stay with me. Mostly because of what my mom did for me.... the toy was just part of that story.

Fast forward to a few days ago. Just doing a little web surfing and I ran into a ebay listing for a unassemble (still in the original box) Ogon Bat model. The name didn't mean anything to me but the pictures hit me like a ton of bricks. It's the same toy that I cried over so many years ago! I felt like I was in a time wrap and seeing a old buddy that I thought I would never see again. Wow... I could totally spend the bucks and purchase a piece of my childhood back (this time with my own money).... but I decide not to get it. The reality is: if I did buy that model kit, I would never open it or put the toy together. There are only few of them left in the world.... there is no enjoyment to own something like that.

So I pay tribute to that moment in my youth with a fan art and instead of spending money on a toy that I can't play with, I'll probably take my folks out to dim sum this weekend. :)

Baby Doll

2011-04-03T10:15:00.001-07:00

I like the Sucker Punch movie. The fight scene and the visual are great. The story does have their problem but overall, I can see where it was going and I get it. So be warned... It got a lot of negative reviews, but for me... it was worth seeing it on the big screen.

ECCC 2011 Report Part 3

2011-03-11T09:42:00.000-08:00

Final report on ECCC! This year, I totally spaced about getting pictures before giving the convention sketches to the client. The next few Bat Villain sketches were done Saturday evening... that's when I finally remember to take some pics.

The next one is an interesting commission. The sketch is done above Wil Wheaton signature. The challenge was to draw his likeness with a Hulk body! I was really nervous working on it because I don't want to screw it up and I only get one shot at it. At the end, the client like it and send me this scan.
Anyone that got a con sketch from me, please send me a scan if you can. Thanks!

Okay, that's it for the ECCC report!

ECCC Report Part 2

2011-03-08T08:30:00.001-08:00

Let the cosplay parade begin!

These guys just grab the Betsy Mae books and posed with them. Cool!

After I got this pic of this rad Chewie costume, he lift the mask... he's actually one of my art pal from the artist alley! What a surprise!
Even Real Life Superheroes made it to the comic con. It was really cool to see Phoenix Jones and Pitch Black there.
This is just a small samples of cosplayer at the con. Thanks for all the people above for letting me take their pictures. They're all AWESOME!

ECCC Report Part 1

2011-03-07T08:23:00.000-08:00

ECCC this year is a three day event. I have my usual stuff for sale, plus a couple of copies of Voltron art tribute book which I have an artwork on page 33. I also put together an art book which have a lot of stuff from this blog plus some unpublished work.

Below is a 360 view from my table in the artist alley. The big change on floor plan is the media guest section was now located below us which allow more space for the exhibitors and the artists.

Doors open on Friday at 2 PM and the traffic was pretty good. At the end of the day, I found most people were scouting out the place and planning what to spend their money on.

Saturday was the busiest. I sold the most ever on that day. Everyone was in a great mood and I saw a few people that I've not seen in years. Good times.

Sunday was mellow. I sold as much as Friday. Not as many people but the traffic was still more than what I expected. Toward the end of the day, I finally got a chance to walk around. My big loot was a Doctor Who Christmas toy set with a Tardis, the new Doctor Who, and Amy Pond (in police uniform). Got a decent deal on it too. Total score!
Overall, I had a great time at ECCC this year. Come back for part two.... the cosplay gallery!

ECCC 2011

2011-03-01T10:13:00.001-08:00

Emerald City ComiCon is going to be three days this year! Start this Friday and go through Sunday. As you can see, there are bunch of media guests, comic artists (above is just a small selection), and tons of comics/toys.... geek heaven! :) Click HERE for more info.

Once again, I'll be in the artists alley at table E-20. Come by and say "hi" if you make it to the show.

Sidekicks & Henchmen 2

There's a short article about inFamous the comic (plus preview pages) and I have a quote in it. :) You can also see one of the graphic cut scene from the game. For my part, I worked on the storyboard and the line work. Ink lines, colors, and the composite are done by the other talented folks on my team. Click HERE to check it out.

Gantz the movie

2011-01-21T08:41:00.000-08:00

Last night, I went and saw the world premiere of Gantz. It was a broadcast in 300 theaters in the US with a live interview with two of the main actors afterward.

I have not read the manga but saw a few episodes of the anime. I won't go into the story because it's so strange that it's better to just experience it. As for general notes about the movie...There were some awkward silence, folly was really off in one scene (actors running on the street but the sound was running on wood floor!), and on some action scenes, I want to yell "just pull the frak'in trigger already". Overall, I did like the movie. Gantz have a really bizarre premise and it's weird enough that it kept my interest.

True Grit

2011-01-02T20:12:00.000-08:00

First post of 2011!!

Fan art of "True Grit" with Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn and Hailee Steinfeld as Mattie. I like the movie. Jeff Bridges did a great job as always. But the movie is more about Mattie's character and her determination to seek revenge. There are some pretty violent parts but over all a good flick.

Anyway, hope everyone a happy new year!

Inception Cover Contest Entry

2010-12-28T12:44:00.000-08:00

This is my last minute entry for the Inception Comic Cover Contest on DeviantArt. They provided the story and template so I just drop in the art and posted it. The DA staff is going to select 15 semi-finalists and Christopher Nolan picks the final winners! I know it's a slim chance... but who knows? Fingers crossed!

Update: I didn't make the 15 semi-finalists list. :(

Santa 2010

2010-12-23T22:13:00.001-08:00

I know... he looks kinda sad. Maybe he's a mall Santa and after a full day dealing with so many kids, he just ran out of gas. ;)

Anyway, hope everyone have a great holidays!

Manga sketch

2010-12-11T10:36:00.001-08:00

I recently got a copy of Manga Studio EX. This is my second doodle using the pen tool. I'm really digging the effects... it really mimic the G pen really well. The sketch pencil also worked great. I'll have to get into the program some more after I finish my current project.

BTW... this character is Akito from the manga, Bakuman.

Tron Legacy: Quorra

2010-12-04T07:57:00.000-08:00

Yeah, I'm looking forward to Tron Legacy on Dec 17th. I wish Disney would have release the original Tron movie on dvd first but noooo.... they probably holding it till after the new movie comes out. Boo. Anyway, here's the trailer if you haven't seen it already.

Spooky Sammy

2010-11-20T07:47:00.001-08:00

Way back when I started doing the comic convention thing, I made a character named, "Spooky Sammy". I made a batch of little mini comics to sell for 50 cents each plus a few prints. She was a cartoony character and her ability was to be able to see monsters and talk to them. They would help her out in some way, usually to get back at someone that wrong her some how.

Anyway, this pic is an updated version of that character. If I bring her back, it'll probably a horror comic book.
