We're off to France!! *SUBWAY SKETCHING IS STILL ON WITH PETER CHAN!*

We're on our way to France right now for the Bande Desinee festival in Angouleme!
This is one of my favorite trips every year and I can't wait to get there.

Here are some sketches I did from last year that I wans't able to post. I didn't get to do as much sketching as I hoped to, because I was too distracted with all the sites, sounds...and smells!

..these were the first things I saw when we arrived..




...Best waiter EVER.


..a writer that sat in front of us at a Moroccan restaurant. The place had the best kuskus.


And this one was a gift for Bernadette and Monique who let us stay at their place while we were there. They were such gracious hosts and made the best home made jams and cognac drinks :)

Monique loves to collect elephants and she has a beautiful collection from around the world, and I'm so happy this is a part of it.



That's all for now.

Happy Chinese New Year!

It's cheesy... I know. But it seems appropriate since so much of our cheeses come from cows.

Anyhow, wishing you and yours a Happy Chinese New Year!

A new year, a new 'pet monster' painting!

Hi!

I'd just like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!-- I know its a bit late but.. I wasn't able to post for the past weeks and I wanna thank everyone who visited and left really nice comments. Thank you and I wish all of you the best in 2009!

This is a new painting I did for our "Pet Monsters" book.
Bobby and I are doing this book with mostly traditional media, so it may take some time (because of other work, or waiting for paint to dry lol..) but I hope you'll keep an eye on it.
