Their Imperial Majesties

Just a quick update.

Today, I had the honour of meeting and speaking with their Imperial Majesties, the Emperor and Empress of Japan at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre. Their Majesties are such wonderful beautiful people that I wished we had more time to talk.

I was able to present them with an illustration I had created in celebration of their 50 years of marriage - I hope they like it.

Today is a day I'll cherish for the rest of my life.

Canada Day

I am grateful to have been born and raised in this beautiful country.
Happy Canada Day! Bonne fête du Canada!

Morning Warm Up Doodle

Like sports, drawing requires a good warm up before starting. Here's my warm up doodle for this morning. Can you guess which Jpop star's photo I used as reference?

Archie | March of Dimes

I did a series of official Archie sketch cards for the March of Dimes.
They're available now. And I've noticed some are already being sold by collectors on eBay.

Here are two of the twenty-four that I drew:

FFVII: Advent Children - Kadaj

Last week, I got to watch Finaly Fantasy VII: Advent Children (Blu-ray edition) and it was awesome.

Here's a sketch of the number two baddie in the movie, Kadaj.

Decepticons

Cold June

One-Eyed Knight

May Publications

I have two published works for this month!

I did the cover for KNOW magazine, and my third installment of "Gabe and Allie in Race Through Time" appears in KAYAK magazine. Both publications are now available at your local book store.

Catwoman

Grimlock

After all these years, he's still one of my favourite Autobots.

Kimono Doodle

Ryu

Ryu from Street Fighter.

Seaside Ryokan

Added "Seaside Ryokan" to my portfolio. This piece was a submission for an art exhibit called "Natsukashii" organized by JETAA Toronto.

Back in High School

So I have this recurring dream where I've returned to high school, but I can't find my classes, I'm late, and I don't have any of my assignments done.

Why can't I have a recurring dream about going on a picnic with my favourite J-pop idol?
