Buddy Gator

I'm a self-taught artist. In 2010, I began an ambitious project titled Flying Mouse 365, whereby I released one illustration per day for an entire year. To accomplish this goal, I committed to the project full-time by rejecting all other commissions and job offers. Thinking of an original idea and drawing it in 24 hours is a challenge for me; to do so every day for an entire year requires a delicate combination of creativity, skill, patience, and dedication. Thank God the project was completed in 2011.

I also had the opportunity to work with some high-profile clients, including NIKE, AirAsia Airlines, WeChat, LINE, Lotus F1, MARTELL VSOP, REEBOK, Google Tenor, and the Dave Matthews Band.

In 2018, I created my first comic called Tu and Ted. It is a comic about daily life featuring two buddies, a bunny and a polar bear. I'm so lucky that this comic book was published by two publishers in 2019. I hope this comic can bring some smiles to people's faces like my previous works; a smile is always the best medicine.

That background helps explain why Buddy Gator feels so polished and so easy to love.
