Rakugaki 8 – GR2

Oops, I sent this post out an hour too early.
I'm so used to these updates being released at 11am PT that I just auto-piloted when scheduling this post LOL

Here's also an updated link directly to my sketches to make it easier to find them!

I have a couple of Spirit Sketches in Giant Robot's Rakugaki 8 exhibition that are now available!

Spirit Sketches are a part of my spiritual practice where I free draw pages inspired by words, phrases, lyrics, animals, and symbols that are meaningful to me. So these sketches are incredibly personal to me, are rarely for sale (let alone shared) and they come directly from my journal that I write/or draw in every single day.

Here's a look at my Spirit Sketch from last year's Rakugaki show.
I've gone through a lot of internal changes since then and I think it's beautiful how that's made visible through my Spirit Sketches.

Marker and ink sketch of a Red Tailed Hawk proudly standing on a branch. The words "hope", "courage", and "Listen to your heart", fill in the gaps on the page. The hawk is holding a piece of red thread between it's beak.

🗓️: Show will run from March 14th - March 20th.
If you're in Los Angeles area, you can also see this show in-person at the Giant Robot Gallery!
