A World within World

Drawing is the most genuine and raw way of translating our imagination and ideas. Doesn’t matter what your personal style resembles. Your sketchbook remains unedited by the designer’s “digital toolbox”. They may not be bitmaps nor vectors. But this is as fresh as it's going to get.

Summer of 2009

Summer of 2009

There were no rules, no responsibilities. Just whatever you wanted as long as you worked hard for it.

No Dog Left Behind

They need a lot of time, they need some attention along with your love. Even with our busy lives, no dog is left behind.

Because Our Eyes Are Closed

Because Our Eyes Are Closed

It seems that we both can stare and stare and stare. However, in the end, we have eyes closed most of the time.

I don’t think I ever thought a stache was really sexy until I discover its for a good cause.

Surrounded by Too Many Brides

I might have finally entered that age-range where all your midwest girlfriends are getting married.

The Korean Cho

The Korean Cho

It made me really sad when I discovered Margaret Cho was Korean and not Chinese.

Who I Wanna Be, Mom

Who I Wanna Be, Mom

It’s not that I want to be a firearms saleswoman. It’s symbolism for the dream of being a speeding bullet.

Green Wool & a Cigarette

The back of this head reminds me of some green mountains in Colorado with smoke coming out of chimneys.

Classic vs. Hipster Stems

Classic vs. Hipster Stems

You can tell a lot about a girl based on how she skins her legs – not really the color or the shape of them.

Getting Too Serious is Never Funny

Getting Too Serious is Never Funny

Maybe this serious face is just who I am – or is it just something for you to laugh at? LA is making me a better person.

Doodle some Noodles

I could use a bowl of warm ramen right now. I told myself I would never have pasta in the house but I failed.

He Took it Like Cereal

From mornings I can remember we had, he had to take rainbow colored capsules that weren’t necessarily vitamins.

Gawker

Gawker

Observing everything I have in front of me and it doesn’t really matter if anyone looks back.

Ella Ella Ella

Ella Ella Ella

Goth girls probably look to up to Rihanna these days. The pop star wears leather, has red hair, and is black.

Feelin’ & Flyin’ High

Feelin’ & Flyin’ High

For someone who doesn’t smoke marijuana, there are other ways to zone out and feel like its Cloud 9.

Angeleno Crows

Angeleno Crows

There is an insane amount of crows in LA. At first, it felt like hell. In the end, I accepted its urban wallpaper.

On the Streets of 90026

On the Streets of 90026

I didn’t know the rich and famous wanted to be hipsters. Is there a better marriage between the east and west out here?

Doo Wop in Beverly Hills

Doo Wop in Beverly Hills

Middle-aged women in Beverly Hills produce height in other ways than heels and the wedge.

The Wedge

The Wedge

Women on the west coast are really into the wedge right now. I wonder what this means about them?

My Siamese Twin with Narcolepsy

My Siamese Twin with Narcolepsy

I have no idea why I was thinking about this scenario. It made me laugh and sad at the same time.

Death Becomes Her

Death Becomes Her

Do cows ever think about a giant prime rib? Do animals ever have cravings or do they just eat to live?

Back to the Real Drawing Board

Back to the Real Drawing Board

I love sketching and brainstorming. But standing on a pile of vanilla canvases is getting tiring.

Underage was Once Upon

Underage was Once Upon

Walking pass a burrito truck and saw a group of teenagers laughing and buying cheap grub. Seemed so long ago.

Egghead in PJs

Ugh, everyone should have their head shape studied. The results will make you stay awake thinking for hours.

Operator

Screening is just so easy these days. Remember when it was hard to come up with excuses and lies?

Man in Culver City

Man in Culver City

I do like what I’m seeing in Culver City. A touch of class that reminds me of what I was into during my early 20s.

As the Chinese refers to them, the butter fruits are here are inexpensive and available all-year round.

A 90s Rodeo Drive

A 90s Rodeo Drive

Out here, they noses are anything but unique and there’s a ton of red lipstick and blonde hair.

A Reminder of Clinton Hill

A Reminder of Clinton Hill

Being so close to Pico Robertson reminds me of Brooklyn’s Clinton Hill. Bobs, pearls, and cranky faces.

Jailbird Punks

Jailbird Punks

We were troublemakers in our hearts but realistic in reality. Sweet behavior in this lifetime but perhaps not the next.

A Sassy Connection

A Sassy Connection

Perhaps this is my new attitude in life – look good, be healthy, and throw down the laws and standards.

Lightweight Bike Grinder

Lightweight Bike Grinder

I’ve had this sketch for way too long to not build this bike grinder. Pedal for your coffee beans on a lightweight vehicle.

You’re Thinking Too Much

We fight. We cry. We frown and we’re beginning to wrinkle. We overthink things and blame each other.

BR OO KL YN

BR OO KL YN

I will miss you dearly – your bad part and good parts. I love the smell of the trees and the modularity of your brownstones.

We Heart the 90s

Bad tattoos, bad hair and tank tops yet the music that came out of this decade features the largest range of tunes I dig.

Goodbye at 2:22am

The end of an era has already happened but we wear masks for protection still. Thanks for your romance.

Yes, Dear…it’s sleeping…

Finding myself sugar-coating nature and science to kids. I never thought I be a pussy about life facts.

Sweet Surrender

Sweet Surrender

In the time of stress, sometimes one of these helps me breathe (ironic). But after a few hits, I think I’m crazy.

Pop Says No

Pop Says No

He doesn’t have a mustache or coaching gear…but he might as well. Man or man, he always gets the last word.

The Last Chapter

The Last Chapter

Party’s over. It was great while it lasted. It’s like leaving a friend’s birthday party, you’re not ready to head home.

Untitled

Untitled

Not a feeling, a find, or something I want to forget. It was simply a fish that I thought could a tat. For who, who knows.

Like a Classic Film

Like a Classic Film

Steps to a kiss: Bend the head, hold her chin, make sure she’s warm, and make it feel like a black and white film.

Fancy Feet

Fancy Feet

I dig your socks, shoes, and cords. Dare to dance the night away with me again? Lets do it three more times.

I’m a bit off today, clearly. First of all, I was drawing in my sketchbook upside down and then forgot why I drew this.

I Heard You Liked Stripes

I Heard You Liked Stripes

I bought this dress for you. Hope you like it. I heard you like stripes on a girl and so here they are – all 56 of them.

The body is an amazing system that blows my mind away. It unfolds like nature’s book of metaphors.
