A sample of japanese and semi-traditional pieces from the past few months.

A few from the end of 2012 by Cohen.

By far my most productive and rewarding year to date.

I plan to be able to say that at the end of each and every year.

A few japanese pieces I've finished recently.

Thanks to Randy, Travis, and Ian ... all great clients.

Found some old photos

circa 2009.

Started off drawing some parts and REAL rough shapes.

I was using 19th century Hokusai paintings for inspiration.

Then when I had a layout I liked,

I enlarged it and made some rough stencils.

I drew everything else on with a pen.
