Call of the Wild

Fun project! Prompt given by my teacher Ryan Alexander-Tanner at PNCA. The assignment called for three spot illustrations with a mystical creature and child, each having to do with reading.

Sketches from the MAX

I started commuting on the light rail to work. Here are some people I watched. 
(I found that people on their smart phones were the most still... like statues O_O)

Monster Blog


My coworker Mauricio Romano started a Monster Blog (MOB) and have been posting pretty regularly. It's a lot of fun to draw them, but also to tell their story.

Check it out here!

Mom of Tiger

Once Tiger Mom came out with her book about raising children, my mom always felt like she wasn't hard enough on us to be a tiger mom. As thankful as my brother and I were, she seemed disappointed that she didn't do silly harsh things to us to discipline us. So to thank her on her 62nd birthday, I wanted to show that she may not be a tiger mom, but she is a mom of tiger (that's me!).

Dora the Explorer in Taiwan


I've been MIA for a little while--busy with work, SCBWI conference, a trip to Boston for a reunion with 4 awesome girls, a business trip to Taipei, and a visit to Tainan.

Above is a photo I took in a fruit market on the way to Sanzhi to visit my grandma. My uncle likes to buy copious amounts of fruit to bring to her. The air smelled sweet and sticky, and since it was mango season, my mouth was watering. :) The little girl was pacing around the market in her helmet. I really like her Dora the Explorer socks. I suspect she was impatient to go on exploring.
