I was born in Taiwan and immigrated to the States when I was 13. I attended public schools in Hawaii, LA, and Ukiah. I must say school here is much more relaxed, mellow and violent. I majored in Illustration at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. I worked for many years at Lucas Learning and Lucas Arts. I am currently in New Zealand working on King Kong.

Some of my favorite artists are Sargent, Klimt, Mucha, Freud, Waterhouse, Millais, Bouguereau, Lyendecker, Beksinski, Degas...too many to mention really. I hope to obtain ass whooping skillz like them some day. Aside from art my other passion is dance. It was something I did not grow up with but I find it beautiful, how you can lose yourself in it. I'm always looking for that moment, be it painting, dancing or just staring at clouds when all of a sudden you feel like your in the zone like Michael Jordan... I should have a clip of him on here...
