Cordyceps Rat, art by Sherrie Thai of Shaireproductions.com

“Cordyceps Rat” was created for the Winter Wasteland Art Show at Syzygy Coop, Feb. 6, 2020. While Cordyceps seems to target insects and invertebrae mainly, I wondered what it would be like if the deathly fungus infected animals, particularly rodents (as this is the Zodiac Year of the Rat). With the theme of Wasteland, my rat has become a mutant, with eyes of the cuttlefish and worm-like toes. Its appearance encompasses a bit of zombie and undead features, with exposed bones and flesh. The artwork was created in pen/pencil, first, then added abstract textures and digital coloring.

“Scorpion Mandala” is a mixed media piece with Black Forest scorpions, butterfly wings, findings, and shark teeth, topped off with enamel and acrylic paints. The background illustration was created with pen and ink, then digitally colored. The use of the gear symbol atop the branches is a juxtaposition of the natural and man-made world. The painting of the scorpions and collage of elements changes the scope of a ground-crawler to a fanciful creature of magick and wonder.

“Gothic Unicorn” was inspired a bit by the now-vintage 80s fantasy flick “Legend” (sappy love story with a unicorn and a very cool Diablo character). This was created in pen/pencil, photographic abstract textures and digital coloring.

The print will be displayed (and available for purchase) at the upcoming Edwardian Ball 🙂 So excited as it’s one of my fav events in the Bay Area.

This creepy holiday drawing is inspired by the strange and wonderful Welsh tradition of adorning horse skulls with ribbons and visiting merry spots, singing requests for entry.

Mantis Florals, art by Sherrie Thai of Shaireproductions.com

This piece was created for the “Resolution” Art Show curated by Wonderland SF Gallery’s Irene Hernandez-Feiks, for Palette Gallery, in collaboration with 111 Minna. With a show at the end of the year, and a concept of Resolution, I wanted to explore the ideas of contemplation, purpose and determination. Lotus flowers are long associated with meditation and love. The florals combined with the beautiful praying mantis create a atmosphere of wonder and beauty, a place of stillness and resolve.

The art show rendition includes a real Dead Leaf Praying Mantis, painted and adorned, making it a delicate one-of-a-kind creation.

With Halloween just around the corner, was inspired to create fun dessert creatures (maybe will turn them into stickers or buttons): Cupcake Blob, Ice Cream Cone, Pie, Donut, Strawberry Tart, Spider Cake and the Lamprey Churros. Bite into them before they bite you first! 🙂

This collage coffin art (Muskrat Skull and Silver Moth wings) was created for the Halloween Art Show at The Loin art gallery/shop on Thursday, October 3, 2019. The red edges and outer wings have a glow-in-the-dark effect–super fun to do. The green vines were created with an acrylic pen, Molotow, German brand, my new fav marker 🙂
