2019 Blue Plum Festival Band Lineup Poster
This is the lineup poster I illustrated and laid out for the Blue Plum organization. I wasn't given any strict direction, so I ran with it.

Young Mencius and His Mother Book Cover
This one... This is a big one. I can’t even believe to express how excited I am to have this in my hands. I’ve kept this under wraps for nearly TWO YEARS: agreed to work with Dr. Chen in early 2018, started on the illustrations in May of the same year and finally wrapped it up in September of last year. Just got these bad boys in the mail yesterday. My fifth children’s book! I can’t believe it! Created with Procreate on iPad Pro.
