I had been creating this series since 2012, with my fresh eyes everything holds interest and excitement. I depict true representations about the urbanite love and their pursuit of happiness; my subjects cover street scenes to beach life in sunny California, shopping mall culture to festival celebrations.

Based on my daily observation in my life, I blend in narrative skills in illustrations, artistic exaggerations and realism art techniques to project the characters and objects in a story-telling way.
I consider these illustrations and articles are not only my job, but also my daily training and practice in painting and writing. I observe happenings evolving in my daily life and use them in my works. Through this continued practice, it enriches my creativity, imagination and skills.

In the following panels I record the joy of
traditional play, and how children play these games with the matching playful nursery rhymes.
These illustrations have also been accepted to La Luz Gallery, LA.
