My Bio
I've been drawing for as long as I remember, so that would be around when I came to New York City from my home of Taishan, China, at the age of five. I've not stopped drawing since then and have always wanted to pursue a career in the creative world.

I attended St.James, a neighborhood Catholic school. I'm not a Catholic, but my parents wanted a better education for me and my elder brother. After graduating 8th grade I attended another neighborhood school, Murry Bergtraum High School for Business Careers. There I was in the Marketing House, as I felt it was the closest area of study related to art. Upon finishing high school, I ended up in The Fashion Institute of Technology where I spent one year in Fine Arts before switching to Illustration. I graduated with a Bachelors in Illustration.

Now, I occupy my time with freelance work, teaching art, and working on personal pieces. It's not much to brag about, but its my life and its the path I dreamed about pursuing since I was a child. Hopefully things will only get better with each passing month as more projects come around and those that were completed, get released. Either way, I've not much to complain about because life is a one time deal. I'm just happy that I get to wake up every morning to live it. That and I get to create and dream on a daily basis, so I guess I'm sort of a child still. Now, lets get going and flex those art muscles so we can smash face with our work, yeah? :D :strong:

Commissions are currently open. Please feel free to email me at dkuanginfo@gmail.com for any and all inquiries. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has been a patron over the past few years, greatly appreciated. I apologize for dropping off the face of the planet for the past few months, but I was in a very bad state of mind and am currently getting back on the horse. Onwards and forwards.

 Hello DA peoples. I'm trying to help a friend raise money as she rides for charity for New York Cares in the TD 5 Boro Bike Tour. You see, I'm also a volunteer for New York Cares, but since I can't ride a bike (Yeah, laugh it up! :P), I want to help fund raise. Therefore, I will donate my art skills to raise some cash. 100% of your donations will go directly to New York Cares, I'm literally getting no financial gains and I'll be paying for all the shipping for the finished art myself. So, if you'd like to get a piece of art done for yourself or someone you know and help out with a charitable non-profit organization all in one go? Please dona

So been busy and neglecting the journal entries, but yes about Upperdecks Marvel Beginnings Series 2 that just launched recently. I did 25 cards for the set. Yes, TWENTY-FIVE, so chances are...not very likely to pull one? I don't know, always chance involved in randomness. As far as art in the set was concerned, I worked with the time I was allowed and put more know how than I did with the Marvel Masterpieces'08 set. That being said, I wish I could do 100 cards and at the same time I wish I could do 1 card only. Yeah, it's that type of relationship. My eyes aren't exactly the greatest, especially not working small and intense hours...they do

What'd you think of the new Venom movie?

Stupid late, but the movie was "ok", for what it was. It was entertaining, not exactly the best CGI nor the best written Marvel movie to date but it wasn't terrible. I hope the 2nd movie will be better though.

I used to be way more active on my old account and I was an active follower of your work. Just wanted to say you were always a big inspiration for me and I hope everything's allright in your life. Cheers!

Your fantasy themed art is outstanding! If you ever consider liscencing it for commercial RPG products, please keep in mind that I own a small RPG publisher (4 Devils Studio). I am always looking for good art to illustrate our RPG projects, espeically from emerging artists.

Thanks and Regards,


Jim
