Sneaking Snack Time
Dinner will be served real soon, but these little puppies just can't wait any longer! |
I came up with this piece soon after I become obsessed with Pembroke Welsh Corgi. It was so much fun working on this piece because it involve so many cute stuffs, especially this cutey dog breed.

Mama's carving instruction
Carving lesson. |
This technique is not so popular among the commoners because it takes so much time and effort to learn and carve the fruit, so only the rich, the noble, or royal family members could enjoy food with such a delicate decoration like this. This technique was developed and passed down for generations among the palace women who served the royal family. I had some difficulty to find reference how they dressed and what did they do, but I enjoy the process as usual.

Shiba-mama's new year
The mother's concept is still based on the first one. "It's not ready yet!" |
The housewife series continues! This is the second of my housewife illustration series. The first one is here. This time I choose Shibainu because this specie is a well-known local dog from Japan, and I personally love it too!
This illustration depicts Japanese housewife during new year. The housewife would prepare a set of New year bento called "Osechi". This one took so much longer than I expected because of the Osechi Bento part. There were a lot of references and researches before I could add any detail to the bento. Each food in each slot has its own blessing, such as Kamaboko means protection, Black beans mean hard work, and etc. The most helpful site is the made-to-order-Osechi website because they have such an elegant image that show how beautiful the Osechi could be.
First version sketch. |

Renegade Craft fair 2013 - Poster and Flyer campaign
This is my most favorite piece of all - the poster! |
The owl's face by Jan Brett. Her detailed owl is fit perfectly to the flyer because I don't like messy advertising so I modified it a little and put it in to be a contrast to the background. |
The flyer - back side. |
Here's my midterm project for digital painting class. The assignment is for a software practicing; I need to created a poster and flyers promoting any kind of event that I like, so I choose Renegade craft fair- San Francisco because I was really enjoy the show last summer. The owl is Renegade's mascot, so I put it in every piece of works.
