It’s out!

I illustrated for Disney’s MULAN book “Mulan’s Lunar New Year”, (you can see the book here!) a children’s book about little Mulan spending Lunar New Year with her family.

It’s my first book and I want to share some illustrations  :D [*will also have this book at my table at CTNx 2018 this year on display!]

Looking back, there are lots that I want to improve on the crafting of my drawings for this book, but overall… I’m really glad I get to illustrate and to remember the joy and excitement I had celebrating Lunar New Years and lighting fireworks with my parents as a kid.

It was pretty magical.

Plz tell me that I was not the only one who watched “The Land Before Time” and thought that eating vegetables hanging off the corners of my mouth like they did in the film made me a “long neck.” 🦕🍃

It’s been on my mind for the past two days now but MGK calling himself Rap Devil sounds kind of cool at first, but it’s really a poor metaphor. If we follow the analogy, the devil becomes the devil because he tried to take God’s place but ends up getting cast out of heaven, cursed for eternity, and sentenced to the lake of fire instead. Didn’t stand a chance. He’s literally prophesying his defeat in this whole debacle with Eminem by using that analogy. And sure, i guess it was a clever continuation of the theme Eminem established with Rap God, but really, it isn’t

I’m not gonna say I told you so but somebody might wanna check up on mgk

Talented

My design professor: I don't normally say this to students, but YOU-- you can do it. Whatever you want to do in life, you can do it.

My painting professor: I’m really proud of you for how quickly you’re getting ahold of these colors. Looks really good. This is going to the gallery.

My CEO at my creative job: You are a natural and a fast learner. It’s crazy how much you’ve grown already and it’s only been, like, a couple of months.

My mentor: Becoming a better designer will only make your artwork better. But know that you already have the illustrative ability that can compete at the highest level. Anyway, I'm good at spotting golden gems. You are a gem.

People throughout my life have called me talented and a natural, and I always thought it odd because I value my work ethic over everything else. I work so hard to pursue any skill or endeavor I choose that this idea of being given a talent versus earning it is blurred. I mean, did my starting points really look better than others’? It’s hard for me to remember without bias. Perhaps my eyes really are just more observational than others’ or maybe my work ethic is my talent.

Regardless, I’m grateful for the people in my life that recognize me and my work, and help steer me in the right direction. I have it good.

AUTHOR OF THE DAY:

Lemony Snicket

Many writers publish their work under a pseudonym, or alternate name. Born on February 28, 1970, Daniel Handler, a.k.a. Lemony Snicket, may be the only writer to have three identities. As Catherine Mallette of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram explained, Handler is “an author who is simultaneously a fictional character named Snicket, a representative of a fictional character named Snicket, and a best-selling writer.”
