CREATIVE STATEMENT
I enjoy presenting people's states in interesting ways, exploring the fun of visualizing emotions, thoughts, or atmospheres of the moment, in both realistic and abstract ways. I am skilled in both styles. In my opinion, creating a successful lifestyle illustration involves reflecting one's love for life. From this perspective, Labrador dogs would be great illustrators, as they get super excited over something as simple as finding a stick

Q&A
Do you draw from a model or your imagination?
I will search for as much reference as possible and, based on my imagination, bake out the desired image.
What is your favorite activity to illustrate？
All the things I want to try, and all the things I can't do right now.
Where do you find inspiration for new people and poses?
I take my sketchbook out with me when I watch performances. To find some fancier materials, I watch movies, documentaries, and travel magazines.
