I could literally kill for a slice of pie right now...

Thumbs up for the mess in Aisle 5!

What about "Frankie doesn't like kale" do you not understand?

This piece goes out to all the victims of natural disasters and a horrific mass shooting in the past month. May they be remembered in the days to come, their spirits guided by the wind. Music: https://www.bensound.com

Snowy's Day Out

As promised, here's Snowy the Plover in her full morning glory :)
One of my favorite things about these diminutive yet speedy creatures is their walk. I decided to add a little sashay to this wee cheeky chica.
On the technical side, I had a nice refresher on shape layers and walk cycles via this helpful tutorial: https://youtu.be/PgBo-00_GWc

A New Medium

Here are a few sculpts I've made over the last month with Medium, a program that comes with the Oculus Rift bundle. It's been a delightful experience so far and I'm enjoying the learning curve that comes with a new medium.

Happy Pride & No Prejudice: SF Drift

Rock Beats Scissors

Go within, my child

Passing Vessels

I've missed you ...

Don't forget your roots...

Just do you

"The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can."
- Neil Gaiman

First Snow

This piece is inspired by a story a lovely patron related to me. He has been volunteering as a trip leader to disadvantaged kids by taking them up into the mountains to cross country ski. This particular child had just immigrated from Vietnam and was experiencing snow for the first time in his life, pretending to be a dolphin. In that moment, the patron almost broke down crying thinking that one day, the pure joy this young boy experienced could be replaced by what society dictates for him. But then he remembered my artwork and was comforted by how a lot of it reflects wonderment in the world. And so it goes with so many things that time brings us in its bittersweet manner.

So may you, as you are now, experience these moments still. Remember that you are still this child inside. That you can still taste snow for the first time and let that wonder spill out into the world.

We're going to the Trappist system, so buckle up ...

Although this piece is inspired by the character Naomi on the often stellar Syfy show "The Expanse", it's also dedicated to all the real life kickass women I'm blessed to know who remain undeterred, compassionate, solution oriented, fiery and above all, visionary for the tough road ahead.

Beware, the Baba Yaga is back

Borderline

"Beg your pardon. Did you say that we’re not allowed through?

My companion PYO-3 may have something to say on the subject. You will feel a tingling sensation as we speak…"

I'm honored to have this piece featured in an online art magazine 7x7.

A Whale of a Time

I illustrated this for my friend, Silvi Alvica aka The Poetry Store, a true talent who regularly plumbs the depths of the soul and touches ours in the process. A lot of her visual art depicts animals accompanied by her own poetry, so this piece was done in the spirit of her work.

A Year of Resistance

Happy Lunar New Year. Instead of double happiness, I ask that we continue to be doubly vigilant, resist, and stand up for others' rights.

Dino in the Park

Sometimes you just need to be a dino taking in the moment ...

Hoopy Wednesday

Remember to spread joy wherever you go. We need it more than ever.

Stay Vigilant

In this new era, it's important to keep marching forward, to keep loved ones close and protect those who are vulnerable to oppressive policies or toxic states of mind. 

Stay vigilant, educated, and resist. 

We will come out stronger than ever.
