In My Day Dream
Watercolor on Paper | 10 x 10 | 2020
This is a hand-painted watercolor portrait of myself (JJ is here!) and my studio assistants Octi and Pigi. Octi carries my sketchbooks, paint and brushes (with her 8 arms) everywhere I go, and she tells great jokes and is always full of bizarre and fun ideas (with her 9 brains). Octi is super kind-hearted (with 3 hearts) and wants to help everyone along our journey. Pigi is my golden flying biggy bank (from my sponsors and supporters that made my dream of being an artist come true), she is my ultimate guide for treasure hunting, and always cheers me up or kicks me in the ass when I am not being myself. Did you see that I am smiling with my eyes full of wonder while pulling my hair getting nervous at the same time?
Pumpkin Spice Magic
Watercolor on Paper | 10 x 10 | 2020
Watercolor portraits for Katie Middleton (haha not Kate the duchess, but my dear co-author of our children's book series). Katie is my fashion icon, lifestyle guru, whimsical writer, a full-time school teacher, and my partner-in-crime in JK Creatives Co. She loves Macaroon and pumpkin spice latte and everything cozy and cute. She is always full of fun ideas and gives me endless laughter. You can often find us laughing so loud at Cider house near Kitsilano Beach, or find us having a doodle party with IKEA crayon and color pens drawing geometric silly birds, or having high-tea with mermaids, dancing disco with dinosaurs, or dressing up for fashion show with Robots!
Princess Tiffany
Watercolor on Paper | 8 x 10 | 2020
Watercolor portrait for the adventurous climber Tiffany!
Princess Tiffany is venturing out from her castle to take on a big journey. She is blessed by the goddess of strength, joy and life. Everything she touches and everywhere she goes, life is blooming. She has gathered a loyal following along the way (Freddie her most trusty cat friend, her rock friends and butterflies). Every morning, her unicorn guardian fills her teacup with rainbow till her cup runneth over, and wisdom flowers are growing on her helmet. She has learned from a wise man to seek the tree of life first to establish strong roots before heading towards the epic peak. To be continued ….
