New ACEO - Egyptian cats

Someone from ebay contacted me this week and asked me if I could do something Egyptian. It's actually been on my "to do" list for a long time - I used to be as interested in Egyptian art as I am now in Japanese. This painting is loosely based on a box lid found in Tutankhamen's tomb depicting his young wife presenting him with lotus flowers. These cats here though aren't royalty - I left off the royal symbols and just dressed them as noble people. Click here to bid!

new ACEO - mercat

I just love, love, LOVE this painting. Can you imagine a larger painting like this, with a whole school of mercats swimming under the waterlilies? That would be amazing. For now, you can click here to bid!

New magnets at cafepress!

I've re-opened my Cafepress store, this time with magnets only. Partly because their magnet quality has always been excellent, and also because most of my cafepress sales were from magnets. I guess I'm not the only one who can't see her fridge anymore! Click the banner to check it out.

New ACEO - bunny fairy.

Here's a cute little bunny fairy sniffing at a snowdrop. It's been so warm where I live that I just can't help thinking of spring coming, even though it's only January. The wings have been painted with irridescent medium which doesn't show up well in the scan.

New ACEO - coming of age day in Japan

I painted this for "coming of age day" in January in Japan. Personally I think the fluffy white furs the ladies were over their furisodes look a teeny bit silly, but they're sooooo pretty and cute looking! Do a google image search for coming of age day in Japan and you'll see what I mean.

Happy New Year everyone!

New year's traditional games ACEO

Click here for auction!

This aceo portrays a young girl holding a hagoita (battledore) watching some kites. Hanetsuki is a traditional game played by girls on New Years day, using a battledore and shuttlecock. Hanetsuki and kite flying are traditional New Year's Day activities, although they are not done much nowadays. Hagoita are still poplular though - as a collector's item, and are ornately decorated with kabuki actors or Edo Era ladies, or even modern actors and cartoon characters such as hello kitty!

Hope you all had a great Christmas!

Aaaaaah, Christmas was great, but it's nice to be back painting again. One can only stand so much indolence and alcohol! Here's one for Japanese New Year.

This will probably be my last painting before Christmas. I'm sure you're all as busy as I am! Thank you so much to all my buyers this year - you've helped me support my family this year, and also helped me get one step closer to the job of my dreams - working full time as an artist. I'm almost there - because of you!!

Also, I regret to inform you that I have decided to close my cafepress store. I am not happy with their printing quality. Most of the time they're ok, but every few items I order are just not up to my standards. Also, I am disappointed with the quality of their packaging. Sorry, I'm very disappointed but the fact is I have no control over the print quality and that is not the way I want my art represented! If you are selling your artwork on cafepress, I would suggest that you order some of your own products to check the quality.
