Artworks : collaboration

In 2005, at the age of 15, I was invited to collaborate with American painter Alan Gutierrez, who specialized in anime fantasy realism - in which he incorporates anime-like elements into a photorealistic painting.

After the initial collaboration, he asked me to again lend a hand in producing 2 more paintings, for which I helped design the characters. For the final collaboration, he drew my original comic character, Lazurite, in an oriental setting, and I helped him pen a poem to go with it.
