For "A Picture's Worth A Thousand Words" at Ltd. Art Gallery in Seattle

SOLD

Here's my painting for the literary themed show, "A Picture's Worth A Thousand Words".

I chose one of my favorite childhood books, "The Littlest Rabbit" by Robert Kraus.

It is the story of a little rabbit who gets punched and teased for being so puny by the bigger rabbits.  One day he does grow bigger, and the world becomes a beautiful place for him.  He stands up against the new bullies that try to hurt the new little rabbits by beating them up.

Besides there being cute pictures, I think this is a pretty great kid's book because of it's recommendation of revenge against those who do you wrong.

In the book, however, the rabbit actually prays to grow bigger, so in mine I wanted her to be having a sort of forest altar with black candle, maybe speaking to a darker deity...

I love this book so much that it was actually my first tattoo.  And it's still there on my forearm; reminding me to not take shit from people and stand up for myself and those who need it.

The show opens Thursday, November 7th and is an amazing lineup of artists.

A young red fox sits besides his forest altar while a cardinal rings the altar's bell, with the insignia of the inverted pentagram.  The blue jay observes from below.  Candles burn upon the skull, lighting the night.

The animals are guardians of the occult; their secrets and magic elusive to humanity.

They are invincible ghosts of the forest....

This painting will be on display tonight at Seattle's True Love Gallery for their "Natural Science" show.

There are still beautiful, professionally scanned and printed fine art prints available on my Big Cartel and Etsy stores.

Also, there was a great article written about the Sacrilege show by the Seattle-based Redefine Magazine, and they were kind enough to feature my piece:
