Happy Valentines day!

Here's a card I made for my boyfriend this year, the eggs are our cats, although we only have 2

Posion Ivy

I always loved Redheads! Theyre so pretty and suductive, in a uniquely exotic way :)


Totally Random, but I saw this guy at my local whole foods and thought it was pretty funny, we're all predisposed to see faces in things and this guy was totally a character when I looked at him!

More Nerd Stuff!

More Nerd Stuff! These have been pretty fun recently, I might try to do a couple more, maybe Batgirl and Poison Ivy.

I also got a pretty cool opportunity that most artists don't get. My dad flies and owns a few planes, recently he acquired one from WWII Called Nanchang Nancy, Apparently the Chinese made some planes for America during that time, and they were very good fighter planes. It's a little 2 seater war plane with a funny little pinup girl painted on the side of it. He asked if I wanted to paint a new one for him (he's always been very supportive of my art) So I'm gonna do it! I've got to do some research on what type of paint to buy, but it should be really exciting! I'll post up some sketches later this week perhaps. The one on the plane now is a chinese girl in a pseudo-mao communist outfit, she seems a little bored, so I'll try to remedy that :)

Wonder Woman!

I've always been a real big nerd at heart, and the other day I thought about how fun it would be to illustrate some classic DC girls. I always sort of liked how Iconic they were compared to Marvel ;) And here is the most iconic of them all, Wonder Woman!

Mermaid

When I was a kid, I loovveedd Mermaids, I blame mostly the movie "The Little Mermaid" but they were one of the few things I could draw. When I was in day care other little kids would ask me to draw them mermaids and request hair color and tail color. I thought it would be fun to revisit those memories.


Also! I've got an Etsy Store now!



Go browse around for Prints! I hope to get more stuff in there sooner or later, but for now, just a couple of prints.

I hope you all had a great new years!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!

chiffon and sequins

Jump Start

December is here! It's almost the best time of the Year!

My boyfriend and I were brainstorming some fun ideas for Christmas images and this was one that I just thought was hilarious. I love Christmas and Christmas time so maybe I'll find more time to do a couple more ideas.

Magic Trees

A little test I did with textures

Farewell to Summer

I know its really late in the year to be saying that, but in So Cal, it's just started to get cold! I did this to sort of indulge in last minute fantasies about the beach.

Just a little something

Just a doodle, noticed I hadn't posted in a while

DISNEY!

AH! I got word last week that I got into the Disney Apprenticeship program! Second time is the charm I guess, I'm so excited to get to start working with amazing artists at Feature!

<3<3

Summer days

Whew, what a hectic past couple of weeks! We had a huge deadline and had to work 2 weekends in a row :( I also started my class at Art Institute! It's been a real interesting experience and the kids are really great!

This piece is just a quickie, inspired by Ashley Wood, I saw him use some screen tones on top of these cute drawings of girls. I didn't have any screen on hand so I just used some photoshop trickery lol. I hope everyone had a great time at Comic con!

Girls are Fun~

Some Girls for fun :)

Great Expectations Painting!

Hey Guys!

Look what I finally finished!

I got a new kitten over the weekend so it's been a real hectic mess. My normal cat boots doesnt seem to enjoy the little intruder, but we're hoping that this clears up soon.

edit: here's some photos of kitten! We named him Gizmo





PS. TO GAIA USERS> My handle is SHAOSHAO.

No time to say Goodbye. Hello! I'm late I'm late I'm late!

Ah! After promising to finish that Great Expectations piece I didn't do it! I was so busy last week!

I just got back from NYC for the licensing show, which was a really great learning experience. It was really interesting seeing the varying degrees of artistic skill and ability at the show. It seems like a great way to earn more money from art. All in all a really great research trip!

Thanks to Andrea for letting me crash at her place too! <3

Oh! Also had the Gnomon workshop this weekend, usually this is a pretty great event, this time I was a little disappointed. They had a great lineup of speakers, a lot of people I was really excitied to hear from, but unfortunately there were very few demos this year. I'm not sure I will attend another event :|

Sorry sorry sorry for not finishing the painting! Here's more development on an older painting I did for the caveboy story, the one where he's lost in the forest. My boyfriend suggested maybe indicating more of a transition between light and dark. I think it worked out pretty well. I'll be sure to finish the Great Expectations one soon! I'll post some development for Estella too.

Great Expectations

A sketch I did in my Molskine, I've always wanted to illustrate a Love story, and Decided to try Great Expectations. Estella is so cold to Pip and yet he loves her. The idea of a girl born to be a heartbreaker is so intriguing. I'm going to try and finish this sometime in the coming week.

Heartbreak Hill

I drew this dragon guy for a tee shirt design and started playing with a quick illustration of him. I wanted him to look a little bit like a hamster. Hamsters are so funny, I love their little toes and nails and how they waddle when they walk.

Bus Stop and some Wallpaper

A quick painting based on a photo I took on my drive home from work.

A lot of days now, I feel really uninspired to do art, when I get in that mood it often helps me to look at things that I love that are not necessarily art. I looked at some really cool wallpaper the other day and wanted to try and make my own floral wallpaper. Here's the drawing of it.
This is being used on my new blog! An inspiration blog, photos, crafts, graphic design, interior design, all the things besides illustration that facinate and inspire me!

Hope you all had a great weekend!
