Between the world of men and transcendent divinity there exists art. Art is the will to truth made physically manifest. It is more real then Reality. It is a dialogue triumphant over Time. – Andre Malraux

This portfolio, called "The Little Dragon", consists of six illustrations; three images of Bruce Lee (from The Green Hornet, Enter the Dragon, and a portrait) and three images of Brandon Lee (from The Crow, Rapid Fire, and a portrait).

Lunar Angel

This illustration was part of a diptych set and was inspired by late Czech Art Nouveau painter Alfons Mucha.  I love creating  art that explores dichotomy and decided to illustrate a pair of sun and moon angels.  Lunar angel is depicted in blues with the moon and stars.

Poseidon's Pride - Concept Drawing

This illustration was my first design/concept for a merman based on a lionfish.  I love the look and beauty of the lionfish so I incorporated some of its elements into the design.

I redid this and it is currently in my works in progress.

Beyond Redemption

This illustration tells the story of an outcast angel filled with longing and regret for the role she played in the War for Heaven.  A priest approaches her and asks if he can help her. She tells him there is no hope for her.  Curious, the priest tells her that no one is beyond redemption and that God will forgive her if she asks, that his love is unconditional.  She turns to him and reveals her true identity, telling him that she knows what He is capable of and she cannot be saved.

My favorite part of creating this was the stain glass.  I love stained glass windows and loved designing this one.  The green represents earth and the blue represents the sky.
