It's been really difficult getting myself to draw lately and I'm recovering from health stufts due to some stress. I feel much better but it's definitely not an easy time for me right now. Fortunately, I was able to crank out something tonight...something I've been thinking about for a while...It's using Chinese characters to create art and meaning. Here I'm using the words '一路順風' essentially meaning 'Safe Travels' in Chinese and creating a whimsical image behind. I really like the concept of the Chinese Junk which is an homage to the ancient Chinese traveling vessel.

If I can count on anything, it's always being creative that keeps me grounded.

An updated teaser..currently drying in the sun at home on my ironing board..

Here's a quick concept sketch for tonight voila.
