Ideas to finish

Third batch of postcard for this year.
Before this, I wanted to put several things on my postcard.

1. Animal
2. People or person
3. Color
4. Black and White
5. One of them shows background and situation.

Missing the person, black & white, and scene, I pulled some ideas for the backside image.

Then these are the selected and finished!

These are done by photoshop, which is not something that I choose all the time.

However certainly it was fun process. 

Z for Zebra, Y for Yak

The recent completion! Alphabet chart.

Another exciting update - "Goldilocks Is Back!"

It has been amazing journey with this book since 2013.

In 2013, I met this active couple, Robert and Anne at a local art and craft market.
When they shared the idea of this book, I was so fascinated and could not agree more.

Who is fine with Goldilocks behavior in the traditional fairy talk "Goldilocks and Three Bears"
In the modern terms, Goldilocks did break-in somebody's house and messed up with somebody's belongings. If Goldilocks was not a little kids, this story easily turn into a short and light criminal story. What about her parents? Seriously, Goldilocks' parents are not going to do anything about this event when they got to know?

After I completed the design and illustrations, the initial self-publishing was in 2013.
The couple got an agent for this book to get to the major market, and I luckily could get involved in the process.
However, we had to go through a sad lost of agent, pushing to the major publisher had been stopped.
Ever since, I took this book from show to show and saw how this book sold. Well... every show, I sold all the copies that I brought.

After a little revision with some typos inside and modification of the cover in 2015,
this book is finally available on my Etsy shop and Amazon.com.

The books on Etsy are limited edition of illustrator signed copies, and I will be the one who sends it.
On Amazon.com, customers will experience the quick and easy process just like other shipment.

Please, check out! I guarantee this is a really nice addition to the traditional Goldilocks book.

ABC Music

Last week I was thinking about doing ABC illustrations, just like many people do.
At first idea was animals, aliens... things that I are kinda typical.

While I was brain storming with delicious cake at Dulce in Durham,
music came to me. Last three days, I came up with 35 ideas for half of alphabets.
Here are some samples and sneak peak.

My plan is putting these at the Cary Spring Daze next weekend and online by next Friday.
Wish me a luck to finish this within the time frame.

Zip Line goes so slow.

After many fails, more than these pictures, I finally made some successful ones.

I really want to finish the paintings for this story asap. It's been a while since I started this.
I submitted this and was rejected many times (or absolutely no answers.)
There is no reason to urge like this, but somehow I feel that way.

Well, at least I love to finish these and hang some at the show in April.

Cheer me up!

Supr Jodi is done!

Yay! I am done with this part along with some other stuff. I uploaded this on society6.com so that I can order a duvet cover.

So I designed some throw pillows.
