Mountains

This drawing was inspired by the watercolor landscapes of Asian masters. Majority of the artwork was created with a brush pen (Faber Castell, Shades of Grey). The sky was done with graphite as I wanted a subtler, toned-down effect.

Yellow Swallowtail Butterfly

Found this lovely creature on the ground while walking in San Francisco--a poor victim from the fall storm. I picked him up and cleaned off the debris for a couple of shots. This delicate butterfly had quite an ordeal as there's a bit of damage to its wings, but it's still a beauty.

World Series Champions Sign on the Ground

The SF Giants Victory Parade was one of the most energetic events in recent San Franciscan history. Held on November 3rd, 2010, the city was at a standstill as the baseball World Series Champions traveled down the streets in signature cable cars under a rain of confetti (orange, black and white of course). Although I couldn't see much (with the estimated million other folks), the fan fervor was infectious. After the parade, the sea of ticker tape along Montgomery Street became a playground for young and old alike. You could view the full Photo Album on Flickr.

Steampunk Industrial Spiral Earrings

These simple earrings were just an experiment in an industrial chic style, but they've become one of my favorites. They were created with gold-plated wires and metallic screws.

Fog Enshrouded

I have long been a fan of Eyvind Earle's beautiful serigraphs. Whenever Christmas nears, I remember the stylish work of Eyvind, as his holiday cards are quite celebrated. His serigraphs are reminiscent of old Japanese woodblock prints in its composition and use of blue hues. More about him here

An article on the ColourLovers site tells of the dominant colors in powerful brands: blue and red. For years, this color scheme has been true for traditional corporate brands and now, prevalent in the web sphere. More info on their blog.
