Above, a passage from "Moby Dick, or The Whale". I am grateful to Herman Melville, for his insight and his words. Combined with my photo illustration, we collaborate, and we now have something new. 1 + 1 = 3.
Dr. Ju and I are collaborating again. Above, a sketch we did this morning while discussing art and philosophy over coffee. My abstract work is overlaid with two Chinese characters for "Dao". Right and left characters are the same, each represents a different style of writing.
Sketch from a live nude sketching session, about a thirty minute effort. Well, I can say the model liked the sketch. I have more. The medium? Charcoal, one of my favorites.
I am an industrial designer by profession, and my technical training has been in the areas of engineering, product design, photography, illustration, and figure drawing. As for my art, I am in it for the fun and creative satisfaction.
