Sorry I haven’t posted in so long. I’m finally back from Japan, and as soon as the jet lag passes, I’ll be back in action with lots of new art. I’ve been so inspired why all the amazing beauties in Japan, I can’t wait to get back to drawing it all!

The first photo was taken in Shiratani Unsuikyo, a beautiful forest of ancient cedar trees and moss. This place served as the inspiration for Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke, my all time favorite film. It was such a magical experience to be surrounded by so much lush green life. Truly, what a beautiful world we live in.
