This has been a wonderful spa-cation week from spending time with good friends, exploring Thai massages, treating parents to a nice massage and dim sum lunch...to basking by the warm sun poolside, to finally treating myself to a tropical spa adventure full of lush papaya, coconut and ku kui nut aromas (yum)...This week was truly a decadent and refreshing experience. I feel so happy and ready to go...I was struggling over the past week with the changes in my life health wise and everything else, but I'm better now...My creativity was actually stuck and I was worried a bit..but luckily it's flowing again! Stuff happens I guess...I thank the night Gods for giving me back my creative juices...hehe once a late bird..always a late bird...
I've been through times like this, but I'll humbly say each time kicks me in the behind....but ..if you know me....I kinda just dust off my shirt, jeans, whatever...and keep going......call me ricerocket...
I'm excited and honored to work on a piece that weaves culture, scenery and a rich tradition. This will be a challenge since the story is heartfelt and I'm not accustom to drawing landscapes...but I'm up for the challenge :) Here's some test sketches including a lush, mountainous Asian-esqu background...key Chinese characters and a special jade ring.....
Stay tuned...
