huladollsquidgirlsurfs

Just completed new hula squid girl painting - huladollsquidgirlsurfs. I will be submitting it to Howley's Restaurant monthly art show. This month's theme is "Summertime Fun Time". It's acrylics and 8x8, a little bigger than the previous hula's. I hope to do some wood-mounted prints and list it on Etsy real soon. It will probably be the same size as the other prints, so it can work as a series.

The original will be for sale at the show.

Also submitting for Illustration Friday theme - Slither.

Absinthe Fairy Plaque

Absinthe Fairy wood-mounted prints are now available on my Etsy store. They are 8x10 ovals, with saw-tooth hangers, so they are ready-to-hang. They are varnished with glossy finish and stained dark on the back. They also have spacers on the bottom corners so they hang nice and look like they float off the wall.

Excuse me for the "censored" image, I wanted to avoid flagging it mature.

Absinthe Fairy

I'm back to do some more fairy art - with a twist. This one's not so innocent like most of my other fairy illustrations. What fun!
