I had a few people request to see some sketches from my latest piece Veiled Curiosity

For this illustration, I wanted to design a water sprite creature.  It was difficult deciding whether to give her more insect or fish like features.   In my initial sketches, she was a bipedal creature with human legs and butterfly wings.  She needed to be more aquatic, however, since she lives in the marshy area surrounding a pond.  I decided to go with more of a flying fish type creature with large “wing like” fin appendages, so she can survive both in and out of water.

I  just got my table placement for the Anime Weekend Atlanta art show 2011 (September 30th – October 2nd, 2011, at the Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel and Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta, Georgia).  It has been quite a few years since the last time I attended this convention, so I very excited to be showing.  I will be sharing a table with my very good friend, Amber Chen.  We will be pretty close to the entrance of the Artist alley, so be sure to drop by to say hello!

You can go here to see more details about the Art Show

I will be bringing prints (both matted and unmatted), artbooks, LE giclees, bookmarks, ACEO cards and jewelry  AND a brand new piece which I made special for the show.  More details on that later…

Also…. during the show I will be posting details on secret deals that I will be having each day of the convention.  Look for instructions where I normally post (facebook.. twitter.. deviantart) on the days of the convention.

I have been featured in Musetouch Visual Arts Magazine Issue 13!  Click the image to read.
