I'm a professional graphic designer and artist.

My hobbies include cooking, playing video games, lifting weights, reading, and petting dogs.
More fun practice with buildings! I'm starting to embrace the process and feel like I captured the essence of the vision in my head.

Just made this little spread a couple days ago. I struggle with painting trees and was so happy with how my cherry blossoms turned out!

I painted this with a combination of water soluble graphite and watercolors.

Here's a sketch I did a few months ago. I added some extra texture with some ink shading. This was a fun experiment!

I hung out at a cafe over the weekend to do some sketching. Once home, I tried out my Bombay Magenta ink for a nice tonal wash of everything.

I got to sketch the small record store inside the KEXP building in Lower Queen Anne. It was packed with people and the occasional dog. Love seeing everyone out enjoying their lives.

I love old and dilapidated buildings. They have so much character and are fun to draw.

Here's a sketch I made from one of my photos of such a building. I used one and ink as well as a diluted ink wash to add shading and a bit of color.

Went sketching over the weekend at a nice Scottish pub. Didn't get around to painting on location, so that will come later.

Art has been a huge part of my life. I was always doodling and took as many art classes as possible.

Here's one of my recent sketches using water soluble graphite and watercolor. This is Seattle's troll who lives under a bridge in Fremont.
