How was Hawaii?

Hawaii was f*@king awesome! Here's a picture of me with the Honolulu Star Bulletin I was in. Thanks to all the great folks who came out to meet me at Animation Addict and Split Obsession. The staff at Animation Addict and the owners were so terrific. Thanks too to Kris who helped coordinate the event. (And thanks Janis for hooking Spencer up with some cool cars!). Thanks to Bruce and Erica the owners of Split Obsession for having an art show of my prints. I rarely make prints and rarely have art shows, but I wanted to have a show in Hawaii as I know Hawaiians love ALAG! I met a lot of cool people at Split Obsession (especially Nadine, Cat, Steve and Candace-thanks for my shirt!) and I know there are still some prints available for sale. I'm going to leave the prints there for Split Obsession to sell because then there'll be no shipping cost. (shipping from the mainland to Hawaii is really expensive, so Hawaii people, take advantage of the prints being there www.splitobsession.com). Pictures from my trip are on my facebook page here.
I hope to come out again to the Islands. Mahalo!!!

Oahu here I come!

High Five to the High School

I went to Philips Academy this past Friday. The students invited me to dinner before the presentation and we engaged in a very interesting debate about Asians in media, tokenism and affirmative action. I don't have any definitive answers on those issues, but I can say from my experience, there is tokenism and racism--and one of the ways to climb out of that token slot Asians are relegated to, is to show your support to Hollywood of Asian films, actors and shows. It all comes down to dollars. If Asian American products make money, Hollywood pays attention. And as far as succeeding in any field, make sure you work hard and are better skilled as nothing is handed on a silver platter to an "outsider". I don't like to focus too much on this annoying fact of life, the glass ceiling that a lot of ethnic-Americans face, but I believe you can't use that as an excuse not to fight against it. So, my advice to the students, those issues exist, but YOU CAN CHANGE THAT. Fight the good fight!
