Welcome to my tiny art gallery. I only doodle nowadays, but I had been a very left-brained sketch artist; over time I had been getting more natural, until things got busy with medical school and science. Please enjoy what I have!
Rosa and Me
- 1992 -
This is a good friend from jr. high and high school named Rosa, standing next to me. We were posing for a picture while I was modeling a tuxedo on my high school campus for a rental place for the upcoming senior prom (what I got from the deal was a free tux rental).

Wayne and Anand
- 1996 -
Wayne Yoshida, a friend from Caltech. You can see real photos of him in and around these pages. Next to him is Anand Chelian, another Caltech friend. We were all summer interns from Caltech in Japan in 1995, working at various engineering/biotech industries across the country. This picture is taken from a photograph of the two of them on the streets of Tokyo.

Sachiko
- 1997 -
Next is a portrait of a Japanese drama (soap opera) actress, taken from one of her music CD inserts. I finished this one in 1997. I have to admit, the drawing doesn't resemble her too closely (nor does the original picture). Her name is Sachiko Sakurai.

Zard
- 1999 -
The beautiful lead singer of a Japanese band called Zard; this was taken from the cover of one of her singles. Her name is [Izumi Sakai], but her birth name is actually Sachiko Kamachi. Tragically, she died in 2007 at age 40 while undergoing treatment for cervical cancer... she will be missed. I sketched this on a short break from studying for an enormous medical licensing exam. The profile view somehow reminds me of an old friend from Taiwan.
