Book Preview- Coming to Stores 2009...

This is a book cover i recently finished for French Publishing house Albin Michel, by author Herve Jubert, "Le Palais des Mirages". I falled in love with the story right away and was really honored to be given the chance to illustrate it. :D If anyone of you could read French be sure to pick up one! Hope you like it too.

Had a busy but great weekend, checked out a bunch of shows all over LA, and stopped in some amazing book stores. Thanks R!!! ^___^ Not everyone was so lucky, and my sympathy goes out to all the fire victims.

Best,

Jeremy's workshop, 6 hours~ yeah that's the original canvas size. i love to try out weird canvases.

it's sad that i will be leaving Jeremy's class at the end of December... Leaving Imagi as well. I will be doing some traveling in Europe and Asia, till 2010. i hope to finish my too-often-talked-about Oscar Wilde book while traveling, and do some traditional big canvases as well.

love,

Back from APE~

It was great! Saw old friends, had some amazing food. Too bad it had to end so soon...



Come back early sunday to see Mom off to China(THANK YOU Mindy, Cynthia and Will for taking care of the booth). Drew this on the back of a notice for her in the airport. it's based on a photo of Mom 43 years ago...


And a photo from the Sandman show back in early Octorber! Sorry about the crappy quality of camera, you can't even see the art... you can see all the pieces on Nucleus' website!

Love,
