Created this collage art with my abstract leaves illustration in the background, topped with a silver-painted rhino beetle. A jeweled beetle wing lays on top of it, along with some metal findings and enamel paint, than was applied with a lil toothpick 🙂 This was created for the Jungle Art Show at Syzygy Co-op in San Francisco, happening on Thursday, Sept 19, 2019.

These Snake Hibiscus and Plumeria art pieces were created for the Jungle Art Show at Syzygy Academy Coop in San Francisco. They’re quite different from my other work in its highly saturated tones, but a fun series. For the Hibiscus piece, my snake inspiration was the Yellow-headed Calico Snake, while the Plumeria piece had an artistic license of somewhere between the common Tree Snake and Tree Python.

Jadin of Forbidden City, art by Sherrie Thai of Shaireproductions.com

I’ve been fascinated by the nightclubs/lounges of San Francisco Chinatown from the 1930s to 1950s, featuring Chinese American caberet performers, entertainers and burlesque shows. Jadin Wong was one of the featured dancers who eventually went to Hollywood, became a comedian and created her own casting company, battling stereotypes along the way. This portrait was based on a NSFW beautiful portrait, but I wanted to make her a little more family-friendly, though modernizing her with a fun dragon tattoo and an elaborate floral headdress, of roses, rather than traditional peonies.

For the Occult Halloween Art Show at Sysygy SF Coop, I created this “Cult Skull Mandala” illustration with pen, pencil and digital coloring. For art shows, I always try to incorporate some fun collage or metallic finishings to the piece as a special edition. In this case, I painted enamel with metallic inks, combined with real elements of shark teeth, butterfly wings and a dainty blue horned beetle.

“Mercat” was inspired by the beauty and grace of our feline friends, coupled with the magical world of mermaids. I created the drawing with pen/ink and digitally colored background elements. Available for adoption as an ART PRINT HERE on my Etsy Shop.
