7 things to look at

Rivals of the West Theatre Company - 2012 Spring Season - Call for Auditions

This is one of few hand-lettered projects I've come up with. Christopher Shipley is the muse.




Spread from my Summer sketchbook. There are my characters, Zuba and June.






Katamari Stampede - Concept Art with Aaron Yamada-Hanff


A piece I came up with and did last year in my concept art class. It is a Katamari Damacy scene.






This is something I should have mentioned a while ago- probably before the event. This show was titled HOLY SHIT by The Nomad Gallery Project. It was a huge success and I owe thanks to Craig Bowers for his help on the poster below and thanks to Nomad for letting me design material for the event.



And here is the back of the postcard:


Lastly we have another assignment for the Alhambra Source, an article on mental health services in the Alhambra school district:


You can find the article here:

EXTRA EXTRA - See All About It


Many moons have passed since the last post. Here is to catching up! :


CENTERSTAGE - Young Playwrights Festival 2012

These are preliminary sketches (Call For Entries Poster) for the 26th Annual YPF



This is a drawing of an armored Chinese boat from the... Sung Dynasty? Anyhow, this is rolled in with my thesis - I am working on a series that features the presentation of interior spaces in close relationship to exterior spaces - I will show you soon exactly what I mean.


Here we have the first page for my contribution to DIMENSIONS III a comic anthology pulled together by Zejian Shen (http://zesansan.blogspot.com/). If you like comics, check her out. If you like good comics, then check her out. If you like bad comics, then don't.



This is an old one, from last year. Jesus in a pool of blood. This showed in Nomad Gallery (http://www.facebook.com/BmoreNoMad) for the SURFACE show this past July. Jesus is being sold now in the form of fine prints (edition of 7), archival Velvet Art paper. Each print is 16"x16" and they are going for $50 each. Does your mother love Jesus? Your grandmother? Well, you know where to find me (jeeshaun@ymail.com).



Lastly we have the twins. This was an illustration for an article on reunited twin sisters in the Alhambra Source by Michael Lawrence. If you are interested in the words of a good man see here: http://www.alhambrasource.org/users/firing-line


There are more drawings slithering around in my room, but I need to round them up before I hang them up here.


What did you have for dinner two nights ago?

Skinny Fat


from the Mary Albright summer 2011 sketchbook. Inside cover:



A supermodel I think. I can't remember where or how I found her but here is a drawing of her. If anyone has any clue of her identity , please let me know.

Yelena Bryksenkova inspired me to draw more women. She has also inspired me in terms of patterns, clothing, fashion illustration, and all things Russia.

If you do not know who she is look here: http://yelenabryksenkova.com/

If you are hungry look here, it is a picture of one of my favorite foods,Pho Noodles:

Hog Sweat


This summer has been the sweatiest summer of my entire life, I am 100% on this claim.

In addition to working in a hot little kitchen, I have been tending a garden plot started by Tara Megos, and I slaved away with Craig Bowers for a good few weeks to pull together our first show (which ended up being a big group, 65+) titled: VEND SEND MEND at Sub-Basement Artist Studios in Baltimore.

We had great entries made from all over the world and it was a thrill to see each new entry make its way over in the mailman's mail hands. It just so happened that on the same night of our opening, July 1st, there was an R. Kelly concert at the 1st Mariner and traffic was total shit. Some have told me that they were stuck in traffic heading over to the show and decided to just give up and get some ice cream instead. For all those who stood in traffic because they were trying to make it to the Vend Send Mend opening: I love you.

Thank you Jefferey Kent and Jennifer Tam at Sub-Basement! You guys are the best.

Check it all out! VSM:


And here are some links to some great contributors of Vend Send Mend:

Okay, anyways, there are tons more: Harry Campbell, Dadu Shin, JooHee Yoon-- just check out the website!


But that's not all!

Yerin and Julia are responsible for the new pop-up gallery on W. Chase St!


You can check out their blog or look them up on facebook. We are all working together to pull the place together in time for Artscape. There is a show coming up there titled: SURFACE.


In other news, here is an album cover I came up with for my dear friend Patrick Takashi Shiroishi. He makes music and if you are not deaf I suggest you look him up!




This is an igloo house (yes, there's a balcony on the backside with escape ladder) :


More SOOOOOOOON!
