Here’s the official flyer for the Year of the Dragon GR2 show! I’m sad I can’t make it down there, but if any of you are in LA around that time, try to check it out as I’m sure it’ll be jam-packed with amazing work by equally amazing artists!!

Just a week ago I was invited to take part in the annual Lunar New Year art show Giant Robot puts on each year, this year being shown in the new GR2 space in LA, taking place January 29th. This year is the year of the Dragon – so, here’s what I’ve been working on!
The first step, after sketching, was laying down art masking fluid, to protect the white of the dragon. I love to splatter this stuff, to creat stars/dust/detritus in the background.
Rather stupidly, I peeled off the masking fluid before attending to the girls hair, so it went on with a teeny brush and some (which I have in short supply) patience.
Right now I’m adding some extra litte flower designs. I’ll keep you posted!!
I’m going to take a moment here to brag about my disgustingly talented brother. Here’s a little video showing off his original design: the Zoanoid Dragon (version 2)!
Shuki has been doing origami for around 15 years now, and started designing his own models since he was nine years old! Version 2 of the Zoanoid Dragon is his most recent creation.

Shuki has many more pictures on his flickr account here: which I highly recommend checking out!
This is what I thought I would be drawing [when I became a grown-up] back when I was 10 (drawings from the last couple of days).
“Fast Ride”
“Unlikely [though not improbable] Encounter”
