3 years old....
My art is much more organic and freelance. The art form seems to be immature, but it is the most innocent and original artwork I have ever done. It is an ultimate art piece without any excessive boundaries and constraints. Without the corruption of the polluted mature mind...
my art was in the purest form :)
high school...
I was gradually influenced by Japanese manga art. I had experience in creating my own manga and draw my own stories. There was some time I was invited to teach manga drawing classes in my high school. It was the critical time I began to seriously consider my style of art.
My first manga art is primarily based on imitating and referencing of other artist's work.
At that time, Clamp is my first inspiring artist.
You can tell that I began to lose my originality.
But it is also the time when I gradually discover the importance of "copying" the masterpiece.
It is the first step to explore one's unique style.

Mine
Clamp's
Gradually, my art progressed into another different form.
I began to escape from sophisticated lines and indulge myself into realism and simplicity.
Not only my manga works...But also the the art piece.
In terms of manga, my characters began to show an original style.
Foothill College....
After I began working at the design center, I found myself gradually receding from manga art, and approaching the harmonious balance between complication and simplicity.
I started to fall in love with computer graphic design(CG in short).
My reflections:
Throughout the journey of exploring and defining my own art, I encountered a lot of trial-and-error. I don't know if it is or will go to the most desirable direction, but one thing for sure is that I still love art, and I will. No matter how dramatic my style changes, nothing can take me away from art.
Art gives me comfort and confidence. It is a talent that makes me a whole person.
Art becomes a tool of communication. I use my designs to interact with people, and to make new friends. It becomes a channel to bridge my private zone to the outside world.
Art becomes a business. When my art is recognized by people, I was surprised how many projects and business I have done with other people.
Art is my home. When I do art alone or with my friends, I feel like I am enjoying a great time with my family.
In conclusion, art is my life; the air I breathe; the beauty I triumph; the nutrients I consume.

Just to show an example...this one of the few designs I produced after a one-year training in the studio. It is also one of the proudest work piece I have ever made in my life.
Just a quick glance of...my private photo blog
It contains all the art work from infancy to full blossom.
The treasure of my art work...
I am also really fond of photography.
By combing with my passion in fine art, I created my first private art blog on the web few years ago.
It is also a very helpful "ePortfolio" I can use to present my art.

My favorite is one you did when you were 3 years old. This drawing definitely is showing me what a wonderful person you are. This is a very happy + positive drawing…as you are. What a funny face!!! Also I see you already had a sense of very unusual composition even in those days. Who is that person on the bottom left corner that you so wonderfully cropped? I love this detail. Nice work with the negative space for 3 years old child.
Your version of manga is showing me that you can feel the artist’s flow. I mean you are able to mimic the artist style in a very successful way.
I love the portrait with the black background. I love the way you balance the simplicity of lines with the richness of the color of the beads. The illuminating color of the beads worked like a magnet to my eyes. I love the way you connected the person to the beads through tear drop and the reflection of the beads inside. Very neat!!!
I like the design for the International Night Event because of the simplicity. The idea with the dancer filled with international flags is just brilliant. The conceptual part of the design has a very strong connection to the event. The flags give the message to the viewer that is international, the salute that is night, and the dancer that is fun. All important messages are covered and that make this design successful.
I think you have a really BIG potential in Art. Your ideas are smart and implementations are very neat. I’m looking forward to see new work.
