I Luv Drawing Animals iPad app is now in store.

Actually it has been out for a while I’ve only now gotten around to posting this. If your kids like to draw they will like this app. Through easy step by step instructions kids learn to draw simple animals.

Catch Me If You Can

Catch Me If You Can! is the latest iphone game I worked on. It’s created by Tiny Watt Games, It’s a series of apps designed to help school-aged kids practice and learn Mandarin Chinese. This is the a series and will have different contents available for different levels. Tiny Watt Games came up with the concept and initial UX, then hired me to create a more polished UI and illustrations.

Two in the series are availabel in the app store now

Here’re a couple of other illustrations in the game.

more pillows!

softpill — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 22:26:15 +0000

I was playing with RoomsByYou create your own products engine and came up with some cute designs. I thought I’d post them. Last year I created some designs for them for their baby rooms, you can see the pix below. Pretty soon I should have some new designs for their kids/teen rooms. In the meantime check out these pillows. You can create the same pillows at http://www.roomsbyyou.com.(choose customized products on top menu and then dec pillows and pick the toast character, that’s me…)

I’m showing mostly pillows here but you can actually put the designs on all sorts of products, beddings, curtains, even lamps and beanbags. One of my fav now is bathroom floor mat.. I must get one… O.O !!

random sketches

So sometimes when you’re watching a so-so TV show or talking on the phone or sitting in the cafe when you’re supposed to be doing your tax but you really don’t feel like it so you get out your sketch pad to do a “procrastination” sketch…? These are some of those sketches…

I’m quite partial to mischievious looking characters..

It’s prob. me trying to run away from tax…

After this one, I was finally ready to do my tax…

My art on RoomsByYou.com

I worked on some fabric designs for RoomsByYou.com a while ago. A site specialized in custom-printed baby nursery furnishings. The site has finally gone live.

Anyone in the market for baby products should check out the site. Those who’re not should check out the 3d room feature–click on the top left tab. It’s fun and addictive!

softpill — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 08:42:00 +0000

I will be at Wondercon this weekend at the artist alley. A preview chapter of my comic will be available.. finally it’s done!

Here are some sample pages…

It’s called Ecognomes, about a girl who travels to the magic world and meets different creatures.. It’s a comic book for kids. Prob. 1st to 3rd grade..

I’m never tired of drawing cute things…lol.

I’m also sharing the table with another comic book artist Lanny .

Comic book i’m working on

softpill — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 20:35:00 +0000

these are a few pages from a comic book I’m working on in off hours.. It’s a children’s comic book.

These are the only color pages I’ve finished. Hopefully I’ll upload more as I finish them.

It’s hard to finish them any faster than my current snail-pace since I’m only working on it inbetween commissioned projects. Hopefully some day this will become my commissioned project I just have to work on this..That would be fab indeed..
