“Guardian Lion” (also referred to as the Shi Lion, or Foo/Fu Dog in the West) is generally an Asian breed, created to monitor important buildings and structures. My illustration showcases its mischievous personality in a modern urban setting. The background incorporates one of my photos of the old East Bay Bridge. The colors are very subdued, as many temple lions are sculpted in simple gray stone. It was created with pen, graphite, photos and digital coloring via Adobe Photoshop.

Documentary images of the Make-a-Wish Foundation event for Miles, a cute 5-yr old battling leukemia who wished to “be Batman”. San Francisco declared November 15th “Batkid Day” and thousands came together to make Mile’s wish come true. Although I didn’t really get a shot of the lil guy, it was inspiring to be among the crowd, cheering him on, and seeing the optimism and heart of everyone involved.
You could see more pics of the event on Flickr. More info of the event at SF Gate and at the Make a Wish Foundation.
