I did this drawing as a wedding present for two friends of mine who are big fans of my art. In the drawing I depicted them in festival costumes embracing each other on stage as thousands of festival goers cheer and celebrate their union.

I painted this pair as a gift for Deepak Chopra to thank him for his support of Peach's Neet Feet. Peach's Neet Feet is a non-profit organization that I volunteer for and what we do is gift hand painted shoes to children living with life threatening diseases.

Here is one of the recent doodles from my sketchbook. I worked on this on my flight to San Jose and later in Berkeley,CA. It's pen and colored pencil on acrylic toned moleskine sketchbook. I drew this whole doodle from the top of my head! Its exciting to finally be able to draw with confidence without the use of reference material, its a long artistic journey but Im getting there.

Collaboration drawing I did with James Jean. When I met James Jean for the second time he drew in my sketchbook. A couple of months later I added to the drawing by painting the hand, gluing a golden magic mushroom cap, and adding the rays of light on the left page. Its not an official collaboration with James Jean but I like to pretend so.
