Ok I really had to refrain myself from posting so much of his work, but he has such a fantastic portfolio of illustrations to browse through. There’s a nostalgic and almost magical feeling to all his pieces that makes me feel as if I were in a Hayao Miyazaki film (especially this first piece below with the wandering boys). His use of color and simplistic drawing style really brings me back to all those illustrated books I used to read when I was younger. I really love the bitter melon piece below.

Check out his archive of work here.

Happy New Year! 2011 for me ended with a few days at sea with the family, so now that I’m back in the city, it’s time to think about the year ahead.

My New Years resolutions so far are…

Learn to play the guitar

Take at least one photo a day. I’ve let myself fall into a slump this past year.

Spend more time with the family. I need to take advantage of being in close proximity to all my younger cousins and aunts and uncles, and maybe a trip or two out to visit those living  in different cities.

Start teaching

Finish reading books. I’m a slow book collector and an even more slow book reader.

Finish my personal projects that have been lying around or have not yet come to fruition. Stop having brain farts! (if I can help it)

Keep in better contact with my friends, send more mail, make more postcards.

Make more art.

 

Ahoy!

Some pics from our giant family cruise vacation to Cozumel. It’s good to spend quality time with the family, but I’m definitely more of a explore the city and culture kind-a-gal when it comes to vacations.

tea time! Coffee flavored macarons, peach crumble and black tea.

kawaii!!

The beef fajitas were so moist and delicious!
