  12. Thanks for the comments guys! Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to venture off into the deep dark woods of furniture design.

    Kei: Personally, watercolor is more user-friendly because it's undo-able but i still prefer acrylics.

  14. Tran! I didn't know you had a blog. It's wonderful to see your work again. I love that smokey effect you have going on in the "Don't Breathe in the Moon" piece. And that last pic looks familiar. ^.^
    I look forward to more updates. Maybe this will be what I need to kick my butt into gear about making some new stuff. ~.^
