Made this video exploring morphing patterns with a pinch of Escher, a dash @cs_kaplan and a good serving of @CuttleXYZ

A short interview I did with @VoyageLAmag where you can learn among other things that:
* I once wanted to be a writer
* How living as an immigrant between two languages made me lean into making pictures

More contrasting pages between grids and illustrations. I increased the line “wobble” on the grids and it makes it look like quilted fabric which I like. I had fun doodling the shapes coming out of the cat’s hand.
Also really digging that "Imperial Purple" by #DanielSmith

This sketchbook page shows how I’m often pulled in two directions: geometric patterns and hand-drawn stuff. I wanted to see what I could do with a simple grid, the lines are a little wobbly and the heavy granulating watercolors make it look more organic, I like that contrast.

I really like the way this drawing of our cat Shiro turned out. Sometimes these fast ink and watercolor sketches manage to capture the feeling with just a few gestures, they can feel almost like snapping a casual picture.
