Oolong's Art and Design. I’m OolongCha. I have a BFA in Graphic Design and BA in Japanese from San Jose State University. I’m currently employed at a digital design agency in San Francisco as an interactive designer. I have some professional experience in the area of Illustration, but I really enjoy Graphic Design and currently trying to find a harmonious balance between my illustration skills and my graphic design education. And whenever I feel like it, I just sketch random things. March 20, 2011. IR...

Oolong's Art and Design. I was browsing /r/redditgetsdrawn. Really caught my attention. He’s probably wearing colored contacts, but wow, such bright eyes. Kind of anime-esque cuz I draw faster that way. Doesn’t quite look like the original, but I think this kind of drawing style suits me. It’s not unrealistic, but doesn’t take me forever to draw. Time: 1 hour 15 min. Media: Graphite, colored pencils, Photoshop (for the coffee stain texture). Click to email (Opens in new window). Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

剣道 | rakuyou
https://rakuyou.wordpress.com/2014/08/12/剣道
Oolong's Art and Design. I’ve never updated this on my phone so pardon me if the formatting sucks. I’ve always been really interested in kendo, but I didn’t live near enough a dojo growing up and I didn’t have time in college. Which is unfortunate cuz I lived so close to the Buddhist temple where they had lessons. I have things to do.” But as I sat there silently, I realized that living in a booming area all my life, I don’t take the time to just empty my mind of all thoughts and stress. August 12, 2014.

1940s California | rakuyou
https://rakuyou.wordpress.com/2014/07/11/1940s-california
Oolong's Art and Design. Another year, another street painting festival. The theme this year was California in the 40s, so we went with the theme of fashion by using a cover of Vogue and swapping out the background with a picturesque Californian scenery. I worked with Tia Whiteaker and Sindy Smart. This year was a selective group of 22 artists and I am incredibly honored and humbled to be able to participate in this year’s festival with them. Amazing talent as always. Who judges the art? How many of you ...

https://rakuyou.wordpress.com/2014/09/02/松本人志
Oolong's Art and Design. I’ve been watching a ton of Gaki no Tsukai game show lately. My favorite Japanese comedian is definitely Matsumoto Hitoshi. I’ve watched Hey Hey Hey Music Champ since I was a kid and even though I didn’t understand the jokes until I was older, I laughed at his personality. Anyway, just an acrylic painting I started a couple hours ago. I hope to finish it this week. Media: Graphite, acrylics. Time: 3.5 hours. Click to email (Opens in new window). 2 comments on “ 松本人志.

Arc-Whiteboard | rakuyou
https://rakuyou.wordpress.com/2014/10/29/arc-whiteboard
Oolong's Art and Design. I’ve really neglected this blog. Sorry. Been incredibly busy with work, kendo, and freelance projects. There’s a large whiteboard behind my desk at work and my coworkers have given me the challenge of doing a drawing a week. Which honestly, is not that feasible, but I really do want to do this when I possibly can. Drawing on a whiteboard is a fun challenge. Time: About 2 hours each. Media: Whiteboard, dry erase markers.
