The supernatural feel of Totoro and the playful spirit they bring make me reminisce to when I was a child. ‘Imaginary’ friends, excavating my backyard, hide and seek, all of these fun activities were part of my daily routine. Recent news of floods around the world that have devastated peoples lives, interrupted children’s daily routines have deeply saddened me, so I wanted to do a piece where my Totoro are acting as guardians, protectors to these children.
'Hold On' 10x21 Tradigital (pencil, pen, ink and a computer)Everyone's work looks really great...I can't wait to see it in person. It's been my pleasure.

it was nice meeting u at the con :)
cute cute! your style is really stand out!
I just wanted to say that I was absolutely blown away by your piece at the auction! I was trying to find you there, but I was told you had to leave early from Francis Vallejo. I'd like to know who you order your pens from, since I've been told they're a bit hard to get a hold of.
Other than than really enjoying your piece at the show, I've really enjoyed your OOP work as well. Beautiful line work! I hope to meet you sometime again and be able to chat with you a bit!
Take care.
