Sketch Journal, 1/11/2011 + Mission Comics




And the good news is, City Lights wants more of my books than I expected, and now Mission Comics carries Food Yes Cook No too!

Life is good. (Despite the things you read in my sketch journal.)

SOLD OUT at City Lights! Plus other illos: Best Friends Magazine + They Draw And Cook!

Did a couple color illustrations for Best Friends Magazine, which will be out March 1st! Available at Barnes & Noble, Borders, Books-A-Million, and other such places. My art director Eric Evans was rad enough to snap these photos for me:




If that weren't awesome enough, I found out that They Draw And Cook posted my tiramisu recipe illustration. It's in color, baybay!:

Last, but not least, my quasi-cousin (quasin) Allen Hui told me I've essentially sold out of Food Yes Cook No at City Lights Bookstore! I've got to send over more copies, and I'm soooo excited about it.

Thus, I'm letting that encourage me to the point of following my friends' further advice to peddle my zine to other local bookstores. First on the list is my other favorite SF (book-related) institution, Green Apple! Wish me luck ...

I personally think a 16-shelf white IKEA Expedit bookcase would solve all my room mess woes, don't you?

Hope everyone had a splendid President's Day weekend!

What criteria do you use to select jukebox songs?

In this instance, I chose mine in this format:
1) Past
2) Present
3) Future

Sketch Journal, 1/6/2011


I'm going to try to post a page a week. They might not be consecutive pages, and I can't promise they'll be chronological, either. But a page a week, is what I'm starting with. Here's the 2nd installment.

Sketchcrawl!



It's my firsta time. Got to meet lots of cool people and check out their sketchbooks, including Enrico Casarosa's! And Charlene (drawn above) surprised me with a belated Christmas gift, an amazing artbook called LA<>SF, by Christian Schellewald. Still wowed over that. Thank you, Charlene! <3

And thanks to everyone who came out. It was a good day.

A New Project




Eric gave me a copy of EMITOWN before the holidays, and it inspired me to start my own sketch journal. I started on January 1st, 2011 and plan to draw a page for every day.

I showed a couple pages to P and N at our last Skype meeting and they suggested I post it online. So here's a page, to start. Maybe mine should be called EmoTown.
