MONKEY SEE
8.5″ x 11″ Pen on Paper & Digital Image
I was sitting and relaxing in the hotel room in Asheville, NC after filming a wedding and staring at this picture on the wall from across the room. I knew it was a picture of flowers, but from where I was sitting I saw something much different. I saw a monkey. So, I start sketching him out. The petals were his ear & leg and the space between the petals were his eyes & body. I still see him in the flowers every time I look.
LOOK FOR YOURS

Life is a gift. These words are hidden in the face of this drawing. The words “If you know what life is worth, you will look for yours on earth” are also hidden in this drawing. Can you see them? Here they are. I am very thankful for everything I have been blessed with in my life. Being able to enjoy my family and friends. Having the skills to create art. Taking the time to travel and see other parts of the world. Everything in life has its purpose and finds its reason. I have no regrets. Thank you all for the continued support. <3 mijumi
SLEEP WITH ANGELS

I was planning on using these 2 images on 2 different days, but thought it might be more interesting if they were combined. I based my drawing off of a model’s picture online and I took the photo while in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. Combined I think they make a great statement. I just don’t know what it is.

This is something new I’m trying. Every once in a while I’m going to check out my fans pages and see if there is anything I can grab ideas from. This is my first attempt at it from a profile picture. Thank you Ms. Garcia for the inspiration. If you’re reading I hope you enjoy this.

Surf Dog travels the world in search of the best breaks in the best spots. Here he is spotted at Salsa Brava in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica.
HOBO ALIEN MOUSE
Digital Image of Drawing & Photo
This drunk little guy is Hobo Alien Mouse. He started as a doodle (in a meeting, obviously) and then got scanned into my files. I had taken the background picture while walking around in Northampton, MA. and combined them for this picture. He may have his vices, but is in search of change… or he just happened to sit down there and was not able to get back up.
ROCKA

Who is that? Is that you? Is it me? Anyone that draws faces a lot will encounter these questions at some point. Right Kev? I love to draw faces. Not real faces, just faces that pop into my head. Maybe they are a part of my subconscious or something, but they always keep coming up and they speak to me. Rocka is one of them and is set over a photo that I took of a concrete wall. I’m sure there will be more of these to come.
