Fit check for my Yokai era 👺 "Where the Yokai Roam" - original painting AND giclee prints (with a Mystery demon doodle on the flip side of each print) - are up at @giantrobotstore as part of the Yokai Show, an exhibition of folklore and fables artwork on view now through Nov 2nd and curated by the indomitable @cassloop 🦇 This is a sequel to my painting "Where the Kaiju Roam" and the first time I've made a scrolling composition so the two pieces flow together :) Yokai Roll Call (left to right): Karasu Tengu, Onamazu, Tanuki, Kitsune, Baku 🎏 #yokaiparade #yokai #kitsune #tanuki #watercolor #giantrobotstore #giantrobot

✨𝕄𝕖𝕒𝕟𝕨𝕙𝕚𝕝𝕖, 𝕚𝕟 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕊𝕞𝕒𝕝𝕝 𝕎𝕠𝕣𝕝𝕕...✨ "Solar Bath" is my piece for @giantrobotstore Small World, a group show of tiny artwork curated by @cassloop . For this 4x5" scene of lemurs soaking up the sun, I used a @holbeinartistmaterials gouache-and-watercolor layering technique I've been playing around with 💭 And because a group of lemurs is called a "conspiracy," I couldn't resist adding a third *bonus* lemur (swipe to encounter 🐾). A small batch of giclee prints signed with turquoise blue @zebrapen_usa will be available at the GR shop and website. Small World Show Run: May 9 - May 26 2017 Sawtelle Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90025 (next to Giant Robot Store) Opening Reception: Saturday, May 9th 12-6 pm Artwork available online at 11 am  #miniaturepainting #animalart  #gouache  #watercolorpainting #holbein

It’s finally MAY! Happy AAPI Heritage Month! 🤗 To kick off our celebration, we’re spotlighting the 11 AAPI artists from our Joy of Food art show! 🍎 Curated by Shirley Huang of the NELA @arroyoartscollective - The Joy of Food features food-themed art from 20 artists, 11 of whom are AAPI, expressing their relationships with food and the cultural significance it carries. Food is a vessel of heritage and identity—a fundamental way we preserve, share, and stay connected to our traditions and cultures. We are so grateful to feature these fabulous AAPI artists and provide an opportunity to share the intimate ways we express ourselves through food and art 🤗💗 You can see the show in person Wed-Fri (12-7pm), Sat-Sun (11-5pm) & online always for shipping and local pick up. @leannalinswonderland 5024 Eagle Rock Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90041 ✨ FEATURED AAPI ARTISTS✨ allthingswillbe @allthingswillbe Barbara Chen Christina Ng @withoutbutter Jan Tamayo @softjan Julia Winters @dessertfactoryart Julia Wolinsky @juliawolinsky.art Lawrence Lee @lleephoenix Lucinda Wei @lucindawei Sophie Shimazu @sophie.shimazu Tree Art Talks @treearttalks Victoria Yee @ahyun.yearns #aapi #aapiheritagemonth #localartist #aapiartists #aapibusiness

Droppin in 🛹!! "Tortoise and Hare Rematch" is my newest painting for @giantrobotstore :) For this piece, I drew on my experience photographing #sk8 in #dogtown and beyond - a journey that's allowed me to meet many wonderful athletes, artists, and performers - all obsessed with carving the perfect line ➰ It's an honor to have my #animalart included in this juried show lineup in celebration of the #giantrobot expansion~ Shout out to party animals @cassloop & @giantrobot for their support and encouragement to get this one done 💪🏻 #animalillustration
