The daunting mural

About 6 weeks ago, I was asked if I’ve done murals before, by a leader from our new church.  Without hesitating, I said, yes.  It’s true, I have done a couple.

When Phoenix was asked whether or not he liked Fabio’s “spicy” Singapore Mai Fun, he replied “It may [...]

church and art

I mean, somehow, while there, while listening to the pastor, or Sunday school, I find the “moment” to sketch.
Maybe because I am sitting still and not amidst a million tasks. Maybe because I am not in front of the computer. Maybe because I make it [...]

love this art video

I aspire to do draw on video like this one day.
For now, lets just say, it’s inspiring me, and I hope it inspires you. Not only because it’s art on video, but because of it’s message

First seen on superhero designs’ blog. She makes incredible jewelry, and I hope to buy something someday.
What’s inspiring [...]
