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. :)

The Moongazer

"The Moongazer"

acrylic on birch panel

5 x 7 inches, framed to 7 x 9 inches

2013

$300.00

SOLD

The Moongazer appears at dusk, taking her place amongst the foxgloves and mushrooms, deep in the magic forest.  As she sits, staring, hypnotized by the heavenly orb, her horns glint in the light and her feathers twitch like her tail; as if with a mind of their own.  Her friends, the little mouse and two headed squirrel light a candle for her, and keep her company on her nightly ritual.  Upon the first rays of sunlight, the spell is broken, and the Moongazer disappears.  

"The Moongazer" will be a part of Modern Eden gallery's "Curiosities" show, opening August 17th in San Francisco.

Adventure Time's Me-mow

"Me-mow"

inspired by Adventure Time

acrylic on birch panel

5 x 7 inches, oval, framed

2012

SOLD

My painting of Me-mow is available through OhNo! Doom's website.  I had a really hard time narrowing it down to just one Adventure Time character to paint, because it really is one of my favorite shows and I love them all!

Here Me-mow, the tiny assassin goes after Jake with her poison serum and has the antidote in the beaker that her tail is wrapped around.  The dagger she coughed up is in her widdle paw.  So cute and vicious.  Reminds me of my daughter-cat, Moogle.
