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.

Humbled to partake in the Kids & Art Foundation Benefit Show at Art Attack Gallery in San Francisco with my wooden Steampunk Horse artwork. Proceeds from the event will go to the Kids & Art Foundation, who offer art therapy for children touched by cancer and their families in the SF Bay Area. They believe in “art for healing, to empower, encourage, and create memorable experiences”. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to participate in such a worthwhile fundraising event, where art can have a valuable impact on the healing process, physically and emotionally.

Reception takes place on July 6, 2018 from 6-9pm at
2358 Market Street (Ste #1)
