Watercolor and Acrylic

Pen Ink and Gouache

This illustration was done as a lead in... in a sense, a poster for the book that I created about the bond between dogs and humans. This is done freehand and directly with pen, no pencils were involved. Enjoy!

This series of illustrations is based on a place called Fairview Developmental Center (FDC). FDC was first opened in Jan 5, 1959 in Costa Mesa, CA. These series of drawings explores the juxtaposition of the environment... I found it interesting that a country club and golf course surrounded a hospital that housed severely disabled people. The trip to this hospital lead to much questioning of morals, ethics, and just life.

11x17 Oil on Board

Pen and Ink

I have sent out the book that I have been working to put together (mentioned in the last post). Here is a quick peak at one of the spreads in the book. Can't wait until the books are delivered!

18x36
Oil on Canvas

Melancholy
Oil on Paper
11x17

This painting was done in a total of 4 hours. It started from a charcoal drawing from life, which I then enlarged on the copy machine and painted on top of the drawing. This painting was a lot of fun! Happy Halloween!

Duke
scratchboard, pen and ink, gouache

I am starting to create a series of images towards a book about the special bond between humans and our beloved canine companions. I have always been intrigued with why this special relationship occurs with canines, but not necessarily any other animal.

Yes, it may seem simple. You may be thinking to yourself, oh no...  not another book with pictures of dogs and their owners! Instead, this book will explore something more. I will be taking you into a journey into exploring and searching for the values that humans yearn for in a perfect friendship,  through the celebration of the dog-human relationship.

The book will be complete in seven weeks, printed and bound!

Woman Study
Pen and Ink

“I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.”
― Madonna

This illustration was done from observation within a period of 3 hours. I can't thank the model enough! She posed in costume, standing, for the whole time with few breaks in between...

B.B King
Pen and Ink

If anyone has soul... that would be B.B King.
This is another freehand drawing done with pen and Ivory Black gouache. This is an illustration of the King of Blues and his Lucille. This drawing was completed in a total of 4 hours.

"Maybe you don't know what I mean when I say paying my dues. I mean when things are bad with me I can always, I can always you know, like, depend on Lucille"  BB King

Everyone has their own Lucille in their life, what is yours?

A Rubbish Man
9x12 inches

This is another observational drawing I created with ink, once again. I composed a figure out some excess objects laying around the studio, grabbed a pen, and started to draw.
When I finished this drawing, it reminded me of a quote from John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath (one of my favorite books), so I completed my drawing with the little addition of text.

Woman
pen and ink

 

 

This is an illustration from observation of a woman reclining. This was all done in one sitting with a Hi Tec C pen, freehand.

"Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole"
- Roger Caras

This is an illustration done freehand of my dog Woody. I used only a 0.25 Hi-Tec-C Pen from start to finish.

Baboon Artwork by Rebecca Wang
Surfboard by Barry Vandermeulen

This character has been glassed under the resin of a custom surfboard. Another stoked surfer in the water!! I have a few more of these laminates left for sale... if you and your future board are looking for some personality, add some of my characters to it!

A Story About Pickles

A Story About A Pickle

This illustration is about a moment in my childhood... well, more so about a food associated with a distinct memory. The pickle. Once sometime in the elementary school years my family and I went on a trip to visit Seattle, WA. We had gone digging for clams and other shellfish at the nearby beach and I was wearing the wrong footwear. A little third grader wearing jelly flip flops digging for clams! And yes... the tide swept them away from my little feet and left them to be exposed and cut up on the bottom of both feet. Little to say, I was not able to walk for the rest of the trip. The next day, everyone went  hiking to see a waterfall so I was left in the car with the company of my grandma (and a jar of pickles). When everyone had finally returned to the vehicle, there I was... sitting with an empty jar of pickles and pickle juice. From that day on... it became history.

Subject: One Koala Keychain
illustrated in 96 different ways

I choose a small Koala key chain... the ones you buy in Australia as a tourist gift. I took that single object and explored 96 different variations and styles in illustrating that single object.

My Surf Monsters have been pressed and brought to life on a limited run of shirts!

TOBIE

BENJI

Surf Monsters!

My set of characters that I am creating and developing that reaches all ages, male and female.

Tobie likes to surf and have a good time. He loves to ride anything and everything. He will surf anywhere and anytime! He rips and always has a smile waiting for you.

Benji is older than Tobie and absolutely loves his coffee in the mornings. He likes talking story and enjoys the surf lifestyle as much as surfing itself.

 SURF KAT JOHNNY

Bored over summer break? Need something to keep your hands busy?
You and your groms can cut out this interactive paper toy template and watch Surf Kat Johnny and Mr. Shark share some waves.

Hand Drawn and Inked Script Form
Rebecca Wang

Trestles

This was inspired by a prime surf spot (Trestles) based in San Clemente, Southern California. I started out drawing out the letter forms individually with graphite and then re drawing the letters and then spacing them together once I got the letters the way I wanted them to look. After re-drawing this word 6 times and many many hours later, I finally arrived at this. Enjoy!

This is a digital illustration I have created... something fun for the summertime!
Process: Hand drawn ink illustration with micron pen on vellum with digital background.

Nostalgia
12x24
Oil on Canvas



An oil painting done after a series of studies exploring time. I chose the subject of ice cream to explore time. Ice cream not only physically shows the passing of time through it's different states of solid to liquid, but also is a food that triggers memories from the past to the present.
