So for about 2 weeks now, I’ve started shaving with a straight razor (or cut-throat razor as the British sometimes call it). Here’s my kit: Women I know think it’s slightly crazy and most guys I know think its totally bad ass. As I was starting my first cut-throat...
Changes and More Cha...

So far this has been a crazy action-packed year – and I’d be lying if I said it was all fun and games. Scary to think that summer is just starting and it feels like a year’s worth of life has been crammed into 6 months. First off, the best job I’ve ever had in my...

On the 11th of June we lost my wife’s wonderful grandmother. She was my 3rd grandmother. As my grandparents were in India I only got to see them in 5 – 7 year increments. With the recent loss of Po Po, I actually miss them all more now. Jun Sau Lee lived for 86...

Here’s the first page of my new sketchbook: I used ball-point, Pigma Micron 05, and Sharpie fine point pens. Pictured: Om, Toshiro Mifune, Hunny Bunny and some random model from the UK magazine “Continental Film Review” from the 60s. (See this and more of my work in my gallery.)

We’ve been in our “new” place for about 9 months or so now, and we’ve still only put up one piece of art. Here is a giclee print of my work “The Searchers” on canvas. It is a great feeling whenever I see a piece of my digital art out in the real world....

Last night Kristen came along with me to San Jose’s HP Pavillion, also known as the Shark Tank to see Metallica’s final show of the year. It was a night of glorious, ear and earth-shattering, face-melting, shaking the pillars of heaven heavy metal! We missed opening band...
