Dreaming: Orcas
Orcas and tribal tides, leaving spine tingling and ears ringing like a deep pressure dive. This piece will be with me at Biggest Little Fur Con (early June) and Anthro Con (late June). |
Death Promises
The Black Rabbit of Inel has become a source of inspiration for me... for over a year now. A figure of death and thus balance, the imagery surrounding him in popular culture is both touching and macabre.
Featured here with stinging nettle and white clover flowers, the Black Rabbit of Inel promises death.
March and April have become less painful for me (connected to the sudden loss of two pets in 2015). Working through those feelings of mourning through creative works has been a healthy release.

Out run the Dogs
The fruit of a collaborative project with a local art friend, turned collab auction. He did the digital base, I transferred to paper to ink and paint it. It has been a long while since I have done a project this large, and after a couple of less than glamorous starts the piece is finally complete. A long over due commission for a very patient client, Cyrix. |
