Artist Inspiration: 智内兄助 Kyosuke Tchinai
Kyosuke Tchinai's paintings are truly remarkable and extremely unique in the way they combine Japanese traditional style with more of a "world" feel... almost like he weaves styles of many cultures across the globe into his intricate, gold-laden treasures.
A Peaceful Monday Morning
Since the end of July, I've been in a whirlwind of deadlines, colds, stomach flu, surgery, and stomach flu again! However today I think I'm finally feeling well. It's a beautiful sunny, crisp autumn morning and I have my cup of coffee and the light in the studio is beautiful.
I feel at peace right now. It's a lovely way to start the week. I am going to choose to believe that something wonderful will happen this week! :3
New Painting: "The Standing Death of Ben-Kei St. Sebastian"
Whoo, new painting!
I've been having a bit of medium identity crisis lately, confused about what I truly like best. This piece is the first I've done in awhile that is entirely on Arches watercolor board. No collage of patterns this time; everything is hand-drawn. The only "collage" part is my signature stamp and the gold leaf.
I've also tried to incorporate more of my non-objective elements into the background to tie in a little with my recent "abstract" paintings for Fash Art Home.
I Was Found by Lost At E Minor
I have some exciting news!
OK, so I often read the art & culture blog "Lost At E Minor." It's really interesting and has tons of cool and bizarre stuff too. AND YEAP. Their FB page has like 28,000 fans. Holla!
One day, out of nowhere, they contacted me to put my prints in their online store! I am very excited about this collaboration ^^/ (Note: the prices have international shipping included.)
Feature in Zupi Magazine from Brazil
Happy Labor Day to those who celebrate it!
A few weeks ago, I received a mysterious piece of mail from Brazil.
