Häxa Pins, Mini Paintings and Prints

It's been a while since I remembered to update this blog, so sorry about that!

I've been quite busy shipping out Häxa pins and getting more items ready to go out, along with planning new paintings for upcoming shows...and welcoming another daughter kitten into our family.

There are just about 20 Häxa pins left, you can get yours on my Bigcartel or Etsy sites.

I'm also very excited to release "A Spell for Strength" and "Moon Guardian" as signed, limited edition fine art prints, also available in my shops.

Other than that, there's some mini paintings left in my shops as well.

Keep your eyes peeled for some exciting new stuff coming soon and thanks for all your support! xx

Postcard Drawings

Here's my three postcards for the PostcArt show at Avant Garde Tattoo and Art Gallery in Milano, Italy.

For this show, each artist was to make a piece on a postcard from their hometown, or where they live or identify with.  I chose three postcards from Buffalo, New York, which is my hometown and current town.

I drew a few animals that live in our area; ones that I see often in our yard!

Each postcard in the show is available for only 50 euros ($57) and is available HERE .

Moonlight Fawn

 

Here's my little 5 x 7 inch "Moonlight Fawn" drawing, available HERE on my webstore.
It's the first of what I hope to be several small, affordable drawings available directly through me.

Here's my painting for Gristle Gallery's "Secret World" show.

"The Decision" is a rather personal painting for me; the symbolism of the fox ghost beast having two heads deals with feeling two ways about something or someone; the feeling of being pulled in two directions at once and having to make a decision.  

And sometimes no decision is possible.

I'm honored to have my painting included alongside an incredible lineup of artists' work in this show which also marks the gallery's three year anniversary.

Here's my painting for "Indelible", opening April 5th at Aunia Kahn and Russell Moon's gallery, Alexi Era.

The show features a collection of art that reflects upon the idea of permanency.  For my piece, I chose to portray some white foxes, one of them winged, which have gemstones in their foreheads.

This is my first time showing at this gallery, and I'm honored both to be included and to have my image as one of those on the postcard and promotional materials.

Here's a cat portrait commission I finished recently for very nice young man in honor of his cats, Nathan Explosion and Toki Wartooth, named after the Dethklok members.

I was very happy to create this piece, as it contains many of my favorite things: cats, a goat skull, a bat, pentagram and of course Metalocalypse-themed pet names. :)

 Here's my Nordic winter scene for Modern Eden Gallery's Wanderlust show, opening December 14th in San Francisco. 

The show features an amazing lineup of artists' portrayals of far away places they'd like to visit.  

For me, the place I'd most like to visit would be one of the Scandinavian countries; especially Sweden in winter.

The painting features two arctic foxes along with a weasel and owl, illuminated by candles, under the snow-filled night sky.

Here's my painting and sketch from this year's "Get The Lead Out" show, at Swoon Gallery.

After a long spring/summer of painting creatures amongst foxgloves, the weather has finally changed and the nights are turning cold, both outside and now in my paintings.  As I created this one, it started to feel like one of the first crisp nights of autumn, and the animals gather around a smoking thurible under the moonlight and stars.
