Here are a few pieces I'm donating to the tribute show for Lisa Nguyen. It was a very moving experience working on these pieces for the show, something very unique to what I'm accustom to. I make stories, create characters, and try to find drama and adventure with my art. But here, I was trying to find... something of Lisa Nguyen, a woman I never really knew. This was very difficult for me, until as I looked over a few pictures of her, spoke to friends that knew her and searched for my memories of the very few times I met her, it dawned on me that I'll never really know her personally, and it would be silly for me to even try. I couldn't "find" Lisa Nguyen, because I didn't know her. But I could see how special she was to all her friends and all the people in her life, and that was a very real and very strong place I could work from.
Now, I've seen alot of pretty pictures, awesome comics and amazing works of art, but there are VERY FEW things in life more beautiful than someone who means so much to others. THAT is true beauty.
