I wish I've woken and found that it was nothing but a dream. My heart hurts to no end....

This is my baby sister Thea. She is a caring, loving, funny, selfless, beautiful, courageous, intelligent, amazing, wonderful sister and friend. Yesterday, her life was cut short..... I'm in shock, I am angry and I am devastated. We all are. I don't know how to cope. Yesterday, a piece that made me a whole person went along with her. She was everything I described and more...sadly a disease caused her to lose pieces of herself as time went along.

I could have done more...I could have listened more...believed more...seen the signs more... Told her I loved her more.

My baby sister is gone. I will no longer hear her laugh...tell her weird funny stories...listen to her gush about her pug babies... Hear her complain that I talk too much.

I can't....I love you so much! Everyone loved you so much. I wished you believed that.

I just wanted everyone to meet her and know what kind of a person she was... hoping to keep her memory alive. 

Stay safe and hold your love ones tightly. In her memory I hope that you could all join me to do good, make better choices. To look out for signs when someone is in need and to take good care of yourself and your love ones.

I love you Thea. You are with Dad now 

Edit: I originally wrote this on September 9, 2016 -- a day after my sister's passing.  I meant to share but I just couldn't.  It has almost been four months and I am still devastated.  I think about her constantly and I breakdown knowing that I will never see, smell, touch or hear her ever again.  I am no longer whole.  However, I have to continue on.  I inherited her two pug babies.  I still have to stay strong for my mom and my other sister.  I love you so much Thea... you are forever engrained into my being.

Long Time No Post....sorry about that.  Got super busy with everything including a big move halfway across the country from The Bay Area to Central Texas.  That in itself merits another post lol.  Anyway, I've started a new series on my Youtube Channel called Quick Draw which focus on simple shapes, color and composition done in 30 minutes or less.

Here are the first two from the series. 

Katy Perry SpeedPaint

It took a while, but I finally managed to edit the video of Katy Perry.  Hope you guys like it.  I'll try to find some more time to create more. Thanks again!  

Tadashi

I loved Big Hero 6 and thought that I would do a Tadashi lighting study.  

Power Girl and Kitty Pryde

Apologies for the lack of updates.  I recently took up a position that took a lot of my time away from personal work, but I did manage to get some done this weekend. These are my quick Illustrations of DC Comic's Power Girl and Marvel's Shadowcat aka Kitty Pryde.

Lady Gaga Doodle

Lupita Nyong'o Caricature

I love Lupita Nyong'o.  I think that she is quite a beautiful woman and a wonderful actress.  Can't wait to see what she does in Star Wars.

Taylor Swift SpeedPaint

Tough Illustration to do.  I am not even sure if I got the likeness exactly.  Oh and I also managed to forget to hit the record button on the last 5-10 minutes set of videos.  Explains why the end results looks different from the actual video.  NEXT!!!!

Tyler Oakley SpeedPaint

For the New Year, I am going to try and do at least two videos of sorts for Youtube.  Man, they sure tae a bit of work though.  I am still a newbie when it comes to video editing, but here is to hoping that I get it eventually lol!  I only managed to do two vids last year so...here is my first video of the new year Tyler Oakley.  Oh Please don't forget to Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe!
