# About me
I am a full-time expressionist painter with a surrealist edge. I paint urban landscapes and personify buildings so they look like the people who live in them.I render urban landscapes with a blend of caricature and idealism. I make buildings look like living things and my stylized distortion of architecture often represents the people who inhabit the buildings and neighbourhoods.
The vivid colours and implied instability create a whimsical view of the city that seems as happy as most of us wish we were. I’ve learned that you can’t control the world but you can interpret it so I choose to emphasize the color and character and electricity of life. My hope is that those who like my work get a jolt of familiarity.
Current Residence: Vancouver
Favourite cartoon character: Pinky & The Brain
Personal Quote: Life isn't fair, it's just fairer than death, that's all (W. Goldman, Princess Bride)

Hey, your art is awesome!, I like how you warped things sometimes. You should check out my drawing of Vancouver, done cartoon style. Out of all the cities in the world I chose to draw Vancouver..... Rio would be cool too. I'll be sure to see what else you paint!

Thanks so much, It's great to get your opinion!. I'm spending time on my youtube channel right now though, so hopefully I can find some time to draw in the future, I wanted to try fat and skinny markers next time!

Ni oi ma , Laurazee it's a mix of Chinese and Portuguese of hello/hi, ni hao ma + oi = ni oi ma so I appreciate u say it too.
So do u always have watched Stitch the Movie or Lilo & Stitch series if u, alredy know that Stitch cousin yellow part Chinese dragon looking alien experiment 221 nicknamed Sparky?
Over 7 months ago there was a Lilo & Stitch Chinese spin-off just came out on March 27th, 2017 as there is a new girl, a Chinese girl named Ai Ling(An Ling in Chinese) in China on tv and in 2017 in a Chinese calendar is the year of the rooster.
Ai Ling is in a place of Lilo only in a place of China instead of Hawaii, here is the picture of them img07.deviantart.net/e86d/i/20… isn't Sparky and that new little girl perfect and adorable?
If your interested in them the Chinese girl and you should somehow, alredy know that Chinese dragon-like experiment alien Sparky to draw them.
Could u draw them in a Chinese festival wearing these outfits, a Chinese gate called a Paifang in the background for them, drumming Ai is doing in that pretty China flag colored Chinese qipao outfit and Sparky wearing this cool outfit like a monkey king sort of having these antennaes on the cap and some Chinese warrior outfit matching for the Chinese festival it looks like to me, a stick and a lantern stick carrying with him as Ai carrying a drum celebrating in that street in China so here are they to copy their outfits and the background with the Paifang for the street Ai's Chinese outfits festival or Sparkys outfits can u do that, please?
When u finished the request for the Sparky & Ai fans/me so submit it in these special corresponding dates I'm picky with I want them to be in those days I'm available to plus favorite them is on the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 17th, 19th, 21st(that matches Sparky's 221 number), 22nd, 24th, 27th or 29th ur ready to submit them this year 2017 in these last 2 months of 2017 or this month of 2017 as it's special, please?
Also 7th, 17th and 27th dates matches 2017 too in a special way.
So what u think of ni oi ma that mixed/fused Portuguese/Chinese words?
I love looking for someone from Brazil to draw them for the soon to be Sparky and Ai fans in your own style of art these Chinese cartoon characters.

To see the world the way you seem to see it would either make it a much happier place of colourful wonder, or considerably more frightening. I cannot figure out which, but either way the world would have its beauty so well done.
Fine art work.

Hi Laura, this is a little odd brining this up now but I wanted to thank you for commenting on my stumped image a few months back and for also being the first person to comment on any of my work on DA. I also took a look at your gallery and you have some really wonderful work, I am definitely going to add you to my watch list.
Thanks again from Jared aka Happy The Tiger

I have to say your art really stands out...! And I really like your style asI have tried something similar but always revert back to realism, no matter if the content is mixed. Good job again!

I really loved seeing that "wall"of all your work you recently posted. It has re-inspired me and gotten me thinking in a different direction. Thank you. As I mentioned in my recent journal; it will be a while before I can get to work.
