An update from Busan, South Korea


South Korea has got some historically beautiful art throughout the palaces, temples, and surprisingly some exceptional street art. The first picture is my latest tattoo flash piece inspired by the Ta masks used in traditional Korean plays. This is a mask of the 'aristocrat.' The second image is my pencil guide for oil painting I'm about to do on that ~32"x24" canvas, which I'll be posting in a few weeks when I finish!

I think I need to find a print shop around that has an employee who speaks English huh? I could use some quality scans.

I've been trying to include my art into my lessons to teach English as well, which the students love! Photoshop work, sketches, watercolor images, etc. For the 3rd and final round of the open class contest in Busan I'm doing a lesson on.....drumroll... Halloween! Of course. I'll be doing some hopefully pretty solid/lively work for the class so that should be up by the time of the class on October 24th.
