Sofia the First The Floating Palace

I had a wonderful opportunity to work on another Sofia the First picture book based on the television episode that will be airing in November. It was a lot of fun working on this one! This book is now available at your nearest bookstore or on amazon! =)

Happy happy birthday friend!!

I met my friend in art school.  She's one of the nicest and most thoughtful people I know. She is super creative, an awesome cook,  and an incredible friend. She is a woman that I admire in so many ways. I feel so lucky to have her in my life. We often get ourselves into overly ambitious craft projects but we always manage to have lots of fun doing them!
We both own the same pair of Toms red polka-dot shoes (flats and wedges) and share the love for cute coffee shops (mustache coffee from Alfred Coffee and Kitchen). This piece is for her and it is inspired by our amazing friendship.

Happy happy birthday!! =)

Landscape Painting...

It's been a while since I've painted out doors. A few of my friends and I started getting together on the weekends to go painting. Feeling super rusty but it's been really fun.  Let's hope we keep this up. =)

Sofia the First

I got to work on my very first picture book this past year! It was for Disney Channel's new series Sofia the First. The show is pretty cute! For anyone who has a little girl, or for someone who is a princess at heart.. check out the book! ;) Here are some pieces from the book. You can pick one up at your local bookstore or at amazon.

我 eye 你!

This year is going by so fast! My nephew is two now and he's learning to talk. It's so adorable! One thing my brother teaches him is to say "I love you" in chinglish. hehe. 我愛你 is what he says and he gestures it too. Love in chinese sounds like eye in english so he points as his eyes when he says love. It's really cute. I made an illustration for my brother for his birthday this past July. Happy belated birthday bro!=)

My Best Friend

I met my best friend in 7th grade. We were both transfer students and were required to take an ESL test on the first day of school. I still remember us sitting at the round table in the library complaining to each other that we don't need to take an ESL test! Little did we know that test would spark an incredible friendship of 17 years.  I guess I did need to take that test.. otherwise I may have missed out on meeting this wondefully amazing person. =)

My best friend lost one of her favorite coats on a trip. And I had an unfortunate mishap with a really lovely scarf...So this sketch is to immortalize her lovely red coat and my fabulous blue scarf... =)

It's a Small World! =)
