      Wow.. I think the most impressive is the leather jacket. I think my favorite kind of art is when you combine that kind of laborious realism with something the color and abstraction of something like your fingerpainted bridge. Obviously these are really good, but you keep saying that you did them in a hurry. Do you have any work that you've tried to perfect, or are you not motivated to show your work in galleries?

      Thanks for the encouragement, everyone. I'm currently trying to get geared up to start producing again (I know, I say that at least once a month, then never do anything.) I just rearranged some furniture, so maybe this new studio will have better feng-shui.

      Yeah, that is pencil on bristol. I remember it being an entry for a competition. Honestly, I can't remember if I won that one or not. Even if I did, I'm sure I blew all the money buying toys or novelty candy, or something equally stupid. Seems to be how I spend all my money.

      Lately, I've not been too into anything rigorous. After 10 hours drafting architectural renderings for work, I need to loosen up in my free time. I have a sort of love-hate relationship with the Bay-Area art scene. I always seem to belong to several groups that display on and off. Lately, I haven't had the energy to commit to putting something together, and it doesn't seem to be happening on its own.

      Well that certainly makes sense. And I think I knew you were an architect. It certainly must help to be able to churn out drawings for that. Do your dreams give you architectural ideas, or are they not practical enough?

      I like your style my apologies I cannot express my words in English though as I would like to express them.

      Still, thumbs up!
      Jujutsu is the gentle art. It's the art where a small man is going to prove to you, no matter how strong you are, no matter how mad you get, that you're going to have to accept defeat. That's what jujutsu is.

      Wow, I haven't updated this in a while.

      Lately I've been trying to work my digital painting skills back up to something acceptable. I still suck at digital stuff compared to traditional media.

      I've been doing these 1 hour speed paintings in Photoshop, like this one from a dream I had a while back.

      Awesome stuff! Very distinctively cool imagery, and it feels like I can place myself into the emotional situations you might have faced just by looking at them.

      Great work!
