A few more pictures from Tokyo.
More Tokyo adventures. Most of these are taken in Ginza and nearby the Edo-Tokyo Museum.
Also- we got to meet Hiroki Mafuyu. :)
Tokyo
Brushing off the cobwebs here. I recently went to Tokyo for two weeks, and I had the most amazing time. Best two weeks of my life, for sure.

What's New?
Hi all, just a quick update to dust off the cobwebs here and say what's happening as of late.
I'm updating for you from my parent's house in New York, where I've been since Thursday. I'm home till the end of the month to visit family, register my new car, and see some old friends. Oh, and enjoy the absolutely gorgeous weather. Have I mentioned that it's already been in the 100's down in Savannah? It hit a high of 80-something today on Long Island, and it's been really great. No humidity sells it for me. But anyway...
I may be off from my solid-weekly-paycheck job, but I'm with my second job- still coloring the comics for Monday Night Crew while I'm here at home. The artist and I have set up a free filesharing account to easily send .PSD files back and forth to each other. Speaking of coloring comics, I've been really enjoying being the colorist for the webcomic. It looks great on the site and the comic really pops, and I've been getting some good practice and improving my skills at the same time. It's a win-win for all!
In about a week, my new car should be registered and on the road! I'm too excited, because the last car I owned was twenty years old and had a slew of mechanical issues from day one (when we bought it back in '06). It served me well, though, and for a long time. I'm stoked about my upgrade though, THAT'S for sure.
Gonna get back to my Hey Arnold! marathon via my good friend Derek's Netflix instant queue. Just updated my iPod Touch to the iOS4, so I've got to play around with the new features!
Peace out!

Stay Inside the Lines
In a not-so-subtle plug and promotion, I share with the world the witty gaming webcomic that's been going for, what, three years now(?), Monday Night Crew.
About a year or two ago, they stopped the use of color comics in order to update three times per week rather than once per week, due to the fact the artist was doing all of the work (penciling, inking, and digitally coloring) the comics alongside of his normal full-time j-o-b.
The guys in charge of the site have taken me under their wing (so to speak) to be the colorist for the comics Jason produces, as an experiment to see if the site's traffic increases and/or if people just simply prefer to have color comics over the black and white. I'll be doing this until the end of August. Who knows though, if it really takes off, I may be doing this for even longer.
I'll be honest though- I do love to digitally color. About a month or two ago I made this discovery. What's even better? People in general seem to respond positively and enjoy my colored art, because of it's vibrancy and liveliness (so I've been told).
So that being said, please check out the webcomic Monday Night Crew. It updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. If you have a spare moment, be sure to shoot them an email and give them feedback! Do you prefer the comic in color or black and white, or does it even matter to you?
Have a good weekend!

Year one: Complete!
Hi all!
Well, I now have a bit of time to say to the blogosphere, and the internet world as a whole, that I've finished my first year of Graduate school successfully. It's been a trip, and my art as well as myself have changed dramatically (and for the better, might I add). The final day of classes was this past Thursday, and moving day was yesterday. It's been a whirlwind of activities between finals, moving, and my good friend Elaine driving down from Atlanta to visit the last two days.
Today is the first day in a long time that I've felt it's okay to be a lazy good-for-nothing... and not feel an ounce of guilt.
But without further ado, here's some recent art that I've completed between now and the last post!

Sticker design... could also function as a super cute bumper sticker. :)
My fox "logo" for a few t-shirt designs I had in mind.
Portfolio poster design.
Fat little cardinals. D'aww!
Now that it's summer time, I'll be working more at my job downtown to make the monies. Alongside my current job that ensures me a weekly paycheck, I've been "hired" to be the colorist (June-August) of a webcomic that updates three times per week.
Every year in the past, I've always returned to New York for the summers, but this is the first year I'll be staying in Savannah. I've "moved" in here with Ben and Jason for the duration of the bloody-hot summer months. I'll be visiting home for about a week and a half at the end of this month for my brother's High School graduation and to pick up my car!
Come September, aside from my first-time attendance at PAX in Seattle with Ben and Co., I'll be moving back in to my place at Boundary Village across town for the start of the Fall semester.
Here's to a great summer!

I'm Alive!
If I was a cat and had a lot of work to do, this would be me.
So, it's been awhile. I apologize for the stint of silence. I've been dealing with a lot and to be honest, everything I've been working on has been "in-progress," so I haven't had much finished work to show here. Now that some of the stuff I've been working on is reaching the "finished" stage, I'll break my silence and show you all what I've been working on.
"Aieeeee!"
I would wear this in a heartbeat.
As part of the same project, we also have to create merchandise (as well as a poster design, billboard design, and so on). I started playing around with a t-shirt design starring my little fox character. It's so cute, it may give you a cavity!
That's all for now!
