I can almost hear those Taiko Drums

With Taiko drums, do you hear them first and then feel them, or is it the other way around?  I have been hard at work here at my studio catching up on Netflix prepping work for Asian Celebration.
A sample of framed works that will be
available to purchase my my booth
It has taken me nearly a month to get settled in and internet set up, but this now means the work is now flowing like a river. I have line work set up for scanning, sketches to be built into line work and pieces painted and ready for production.

As proof of my hard work, I just wanted to give you a quick preview of what will be available at Asian Celebration next weekend. 
    
Mt Adams Apricots? Maybe peaches
or is it an “alien” species. ;)
I will also have several pieces up in the Art Exhibit in the neighboring atrium. My friend Robin will also be showing with me and she has some pretty awesome stuff that will be available to purchase. 
Tumblr Blog
If I have failed to mention it before, I now have a tumblr blog that I will using to post about my studies and working process, because I know there are at least two people who are interested in seeing that. ;) I will be aiming to post there once a week.  http://dancingheron.tumblr.com/

Kicking off a New Season

I don’t know about you, but I am glad to have January in the books. The first month of 2012 was intense, to say the least. Now that I have all that messy moving business behind me, it’s time for conventions and shows! This year, Asian Celebration does not kick off my season, rather, a small Japanese festival in Beaverton this friday.

Classical Art Style for Classic Games
I am currently hard at work on several projects aiming to have completed for Emerald City. I am not going to say too much, but it is inspired from Greek Black figures and Legend of Zelda. Be sure to check back for previews. And if all goes well, there will be a pacman and possible digdug piece.

Merry Christmas and Happy Freaking New Year

Where did the year go??

I am sure I am not the only one asking this, either. Despite this lapse in the time table, I wanted to makes sure to offer a Merry Christmas and New Years to you all who have reading my blog this past year. I have some fantastic things for 2012. Be sure to check back here to sneak peaks about those said things.

Art Study
Nothing much, just my cat being a cat, when she was a cat. I miss finding her sleeping underneath blankets and tearing up my gift wrapping tissue paper into tiny, tiny pieces. This will be the first Christmas without her.
She maybe pushing up ivy out in back, but in my heart, she will be always laying about being a lazy lazy animal. :)

Art Study of the Week


And last, but no least, ink study of the week. This was based on a pattern in an Art Nouveau animal motif book I purchase some time ago. I was not able to totally capture the patterns that were created with the leaves and boughs, but I felt i captured the spirit of the piece fairly well.
