Manhood: Bruce Lee (2012), two-color screenprint, 17" x 22.5"
With Manhood: Asian America, a screen printed poster series, I challenge mainstream media’s shallow depictions of Asian American men. Reclaiming pop culture's one dimensional perspective, my portraits present the five men as "superheroes" who young boys and men can be proud to emulate.

If knowledge is power, the public library is the free charging station for all. The design for this screenprint series Keep Our Public Libraries Open takes cues from the iconic paintings of Ed Ruscha and WPA public service poster design of the 1930s and 1940s. Inspired by Robert Dawson’s photography, I wanted to share how libraries look different across communities, from a humble trailer in Death Valley to Seattle’s iconic Modernist structure.
