Going Incentive

I was recently informed that I will be an INCENTIVE ARTIST for Rittenhouse Archives next upcoming project MARVEL HEROES AND VILLAINS. What does this mean exactly? Well for one thing, all my cards will come with a sticker identifying it as an incentive card. It will also be harder to find one of my cards. Basically its just a bonus card you have a chance of getting when you open a pack of Marvel Heroes and Villains. What does it mean for me? I guess it means I'm moving up in the sketch card world lol.

GONG HAY FAT CHOY!!!

Today is Valentine's Day BUT it also happens to be CHINESE NEW YEARS as well. The Chinese calender follows the lunar calender, so the new year doesn't occur on the same day each year. This is the year of the TIGER which happens to be my zodiac sign. I am in an organization that performs the traditional Chinese Lion Dance that is pretty much common during the new year. On February 21st in Chinatown in Los Angeles, you can see Chinese Lion Dancing for most of the day. Its an annual charity event that raises money for the local Chinese school there. I've participated in the event as a Lion Dancer for many years now and will be a part of it again this year. So if your in the neighborhood, stop by and see some culture.

Sketch Card Mania

Since about October of last year, I've been pretty busy with sketch card work. I've done work on Cheerleaders vs Zombies, Moonstone Maximum, and Voltron for 5FINITY. Iron Man 2 Movie sketch cards for UpperDeck and Marvel's 70th Anniversary sketch cards for Rittenhouse Archives. I got a week break after recently finishing my Voltron sketch cards. Then more sketch card work came. I am not allowed to announce the upcoming card sets that I'll be working on but theres 5 sets in total thats going to keep be busy till June. Its alot more sketch cards than I have ever done. But I guess its good to be busy. I'll reveal the projects I'm on, once I get the OK to do so.

Car Wreck

While driving to meet my girlfriend for some pho (vietnamese noodle soup) I was rear ended at a freeway entrance. While waiting for the signal light to turn green. I heard a screeching sound when the truck tried to break as I saw it coming towards me in the rear veiw mirrior. I tried to accelerate to avoid or lessen the impact of the accident but it was too late. My car bumper was shoved into my trunk and part of the bumper was pressing against my tire. No one was noticably hurt. I did get whiplashed and have neck and back ache. But I think it would have been more serious had I not accelerated as I did. I exchanged info and contacted the insurance companies. I called the guys insurance company twice and left messages already but have yet to hear from them. They obviously don't want to pay but my car needs to be repaired. All I can do is just wait to hear from them I guess.
