The Blackest Friday lead to Christmas Memories..

Hey IC . I'm Back! Happy Belate Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!

I hope you had a fun Black Friday because mine was just well...BLACK!

It rained while I was at work, I found out I have to move from my new place, and I'm not going

to be going to Florida for work at Seaworld. Ugh.. The Devil's startin' up mess again!

Well I heard one of my fave Christmas tunes at the Park. It was a cover of WHAM!'s " Last Christmas". I loved the song when I was kid! My sis was a big WHAM! head back in the 80's.

So I did an illustration/speed paint inspired by the song. Check out the youtube link above and listen to the song and look at the pic. To be honest it is a bit true for me. As much as the I love Christmas , I often feel sad about not having a relationship. I would give my heart and only have it turned away and it's been like that since I was young. So related to this song especially with current events in my life after my Mother's Passing. So Enjoy..

What up IC nation! Wonderland has been an amazing project and experience to work on!
It's been a great pleasure working with my teammates Jonathan Fung, Eric Otto, and Monika Jones on this powerful art installation! Wonderland as well as DTRH has been making major
waves in the media. I did the initial concept for the proposal which is the above image. It was great being apart of the production design. Everyone did a terrific job and took the audience into
