Abstract Roses Design on Vinyl Record, Art by Sherrie Thai of ShaireProductions.com

I’ve always loved vinyl records, iconic objects of great musical exploration and nostalgia. This piece is a combination of an older 7″ 45 RPM vinyl record and the newer 12″ 33⅓ RMP vinyl, with an overlay of metallic paints and a jewelry embellishment. The outward pattern is an abstract zentangle style, surrounding a circular abstract rose illustration. To get to this point, I went through several experiments on vinyl and a few trips to Rasputins record store but it was all well worth it. 🙂

I had so much fun painting this wooden box. As a base, I transferred my digital design onto the surface, did some ink retouching, then drew some golden leaves freehand to complete the space. A few layers of gold and bronze paint were added to the edges, while blue painters tape was used while the black border was formed. As a finishing touch, a few layers of spray sealant was applied. This tribal turtle wooden box was donated to the HACNS Community School Art Fundraiser last week, where it’ll go to a good home 🙂

Vintage Steampunk Mechanical Horse

Here’s a detailed horse illustration created in a traditional vintage steampunk style with gears and a clock face in the background. The print is available HERE at my Etsy shop. The horse was created with pen/ink first, then scanned and transferred to Photoshop, cleaned up, and a few color tones and textures were added.

Art Project: Lion Grass Beer from Highlander Brewery

Lion Grass Beer from Highlander Brewery

A few weeks ago, I was very intrigued to have been contacted by Highlander Brewery and Lebl Associates to participate as the art contributor for their limited edition “Lion Grass Beer” in Ontario, Canada for Summer 2013. It’s been described as “liquid summer” for its ingredients include “organic, Ontario-grown lemongrass and dandelion leaf”. My “Nature Lion” illustration seemed to fit well with their concept so… “ta dah!” 🙂

Highlander Brewery from Brian Wilson has a line of Scottish-based ale and although I’m a non-drinker, I can appreciate the uniqueness and care that goes into each bottle. Check out their upcoming events, where you could get a taste of their summer ale: here
