art!

red.smoke
This is my first painting of the year! I am plannning on doing many MANY many more as I am finally looking into it more seriously. I've also been reading a great book called 'Oil Painting Secrets from a Master' by Linda Cateura whom my good friend Ben lent to me last summer (I'm gonna finish it soon i promise!). It's an amazing book, definitely worth checking out!

Anyways, I spent the day with my best friend Celina <3

destination - CHINATOWN! 
It's funny cause I've always hated that place. Mostly because of the smell and the dirtiness. But I think I'm starting to see the beauty in it all :)





The ultimate china-combo pose.
squat & fobby peace sign :p

Untitled.
This was a random piece I did after my Asia trip! I was completely inspired by the super fashionable girls in the Shibuya shopping district of Japan. Yes, I know...the girls don't look asian >.<
