Some old mixed media favourites. 🦄

Some of you might be aware of the fact that I’m working on my next artbook – I hope to complete it later this year, although I’m currently finding it difficult to focus on this book because of numerous other work projects and duties that are keeping me busy on a daily basis. But I hope I’ll get back on track at some point during the following months. 🤞

The book will include a thematic collection of my mixed media (digitally coloured) drawings from the past five years, such as the ones in this post, and also some never before seen work I’m creating exclusively for the book.

You may have to wait for the book, but meanwhile these seven illustrations are also available as postcards (both individually and as a set of 7 cards), and as art prints on Society6.

Do you ever imagine what your younger self would have made of what you’re doing now? I wouldn’t have been able to believe it. I was just thinking about this recently, not about acting, but it’s coming up on ten years that I’ve lived in New York. When I first moved to New York I had two big sea bags and they were just filled with clothes. I was living in Hoboken, New Jersey, in my uncle’s closet. He was living on the top floor of a house that didn’t have a kitchen. I stayed in his closet because that was the largest space on the ground to sleep. I stayed there for a couple of weeks until I found a room to rent from someone on Craigslist. I was walking to all the restaurants in that area, thinking, ‘I’ll just get a job and be a waiter and start school.’ I now have a really great group of friends and I get to make a living doing what I love to do and I get to travel, which is like a huge thing. I can’t imagine myself getting to go to Taiwan being from Mishawaka, Indiana.
