Some people get their adrenaline fix by riding a roller coaster. I get mine with freehand copperplate calligraphy.

This is my original painting Green Forest Fairy.
Every time I look at an old tree and the moss that grows on it, I could faintly make out a pretty little face gazing back. This little face would belong to the guardian of that tree and as soon as I blink, she would disappear forever. I wonder what questions she has for me?

Anonymous Your art is truly beautiful and inspiring.. Were you trained in an art academy/college? When you were practising your art and sharpening your skill, what did you do to get better? I guess I wanted some advice from an artist that I admire! I am starting to paint( less than a year now) and I love to ask artists how they got better... Ty - Julia-

Thanks :) I was in TheOneAcademy for 3 years and then Ringling College for 2 years, both majoring in illustration. I guess I worked very hard to sharpen my skills for my first 3 years, but then afterwards I decided to paint what I like and develop my own style for the next 2 years.. that is how I define getting better. Have guidance so you will always improve your art sense but at the same time, know what you want to achieve and paint whatever the hell you like :)

My cat likes to destroy any of my prints that I leave lying around… she seemed all twitchy to destroy this one too! Too late, it is safe and sound with its new owner now, sorry kitty..

Anonymous Would you ever record your screen while you paint from start to finish (or at least partially) to show your process? A video tutorial would be fascinating to see!

I would, but I’m not sure where to even start.. you have to download some kinda program to record the process and then some editing to speed it all up right? And I don’t know the first thing about that!
