Silo

A quick doodle break from homework. Gotta love art breaks from art :D

Misty Woods

Just a work in progress that I would love finish and paint one day!

Auditions

 Some small updates from this term! These are comps I did for a narrative illustration of an audition. Super fun!

One Sun

Well it has been quite a while since I've posted anything here BUT here is a little update on my latest shenanigans! This is an original story I am developing, called "One Sun" (takes place in the area currently referred to as Ghana). It's quite the beastly project and pretty early in development, so we'll see how it goes! Still have tons of research to do.... :D I'll likely be posting more updates for it on my tumblr so feel free to pop in there. These two fella's are Kaya and Osebo the leopard! Enjoy!

Summertime Sketches

Summer time sketches :) Playing with styles, as usual, I'm restlessly experimental...at this point it's both a blessing and a curse -_-. I'm working on some new projects so I can hopefully get some of that stuff posted here soon! (UPDATED)

Lady Aye

It's nice to have time to sketch again :) 

Zeh Tree

Plein air painting from the Arboretum, pushing these colors was fun :D. (Gouache, Digital)

Greetings!

Just a sketchbook entry from a week or so ago :) I finally got an Instagram account so I'll be posting up some casual sketches hopefully every week (this one is up there too). Feel free to follow the madness, my username is tenyai (all my fun nicknames were taken! D:). 

Yep

Digital doodley doodle :) Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays/Hope You're Enjoying Winter everyone!

"Frustrated Genes"

I had the great pleasure of creating this illustration as a visual compliment to an essay written by Hiten D. Madhani, that just got published in Cell magazine this month (so I can finally post this up woo hoo!) It is a fascinating paper titled "The Frustrated Gene: Origins of Eukaryotic Gene Expression",  check it out if you are interested! You can access it through Cell's website, it is from Volume 155, Issue 4 released November 7, 2013. A PDF of the article is available on the site :)
