children's book illustrations
I had the opportunity to illustrate a Australia's children's book last year. It is called FANGS and it was released in January 9. Written by Aleesah Darlison. I did the illustrations and published by Pearson Education.
Fangs is the story of a young boy called Max, whose friend Ki asks him to come to her place to see her new pet. But Max is afraid of all animals....
Here is a sneak peak from FANGS.

A:TLA library poster
Happy New Year! I wish you all the best for this year.
This Avatar: The Last Airbender art is for a poster and bookmark that will promote reading in libraries. Aang and Katara based on the designs from "The Promise". Inside Wan Shi Tong's Library, the shelves of books appear to extend into infinity in the background.
My first sketch idea had Wan Shi Tong's Library's owl at the upper left hand. But since letter "Reading is mind-bending!" was print to the upper part of a poster, we had to take it off.

Long time no see
I'm sorry for not having updated a blog for a long time. Thank you for a lot of kind words about an earthquake disaster.
For several months I was working on visual development for game, animation, comics, books etc. The new Avatar: The Last Airbender comic book is one of them. I'm taking charge of art.
Avatar: The Last Airbender Volume 1—The Promise Part 1 TPB. It's release is scheduled for January 25, 2012.
Written by Gene Yang, author of the National Book Award-nominated American Born Chinese. He has awesome stories in A:TLA.
Four different approaches for a book cover.
The first Zuko's hairstyl idea is long hair. but his hairstyle was changed revisions from Nickelodeon. I like also new hairstyle.
I've been working on #2 ink and color now. Thank you for stopping by!
