illustration of In a world which can tear and pull at a person's heart and mind, it becomes important to discover tools to deal with the stress of modern life. This image became a long form meditation for me as I contemplated states of mind and mental disciplines which can help one remain serene while dealing with life's struggles. It is the art of reducing explosions to whispers. Looking carefully one can see a moth, an elephant, a flower, two cats and a phoenix all held within the face of the Buddha.
illustration of This creature is an injustice collector. A ruined lifeform bent on sucking the marrow from all of life's worst moments. A monster who seeks every corner of its world to find all possible grievances and a victim to chew on them with. It has a finely tuned sense of others' pain. It pursues its course ruthlessly.

illustration of When the ground opens and ghosts haunt the surreal landscape. When Salvador Dali turns over in his grave and casts a baleful eye to the hanging witch and the candy crab. When bats take wing and roots turn to serpents, it is then you will know the rise of the scarecrow!
illustration of Here is a window showing a mystical land of tea and nature's beauty. Young tea leaves eagerly fly toward the viewer, prepared to jump into a delicious cup of tea.
