Shop News / japanese art

So Ive been wanting to do a lot of different art series for awhile, what comes to mind at the moment are Tarot Card themed art, the Seven Deadly Sins, and Zodiac art.  

I have plans for for all of these eventually, but unfortunately I'm not one of those artists who can create anything they want at a moments notice.  I have to be inspired first. and usually the inspiration is quite random.

 I wholly intended to do the standard zodiac, but as i am a creature of randomness, i instead sat down and started playing around with Sumi-e style art (the japanese style using black ink) such as below

After doing a couple simple designs in this style I decided to do the Chinese Zodiac, for no other reason then I thought it would look cool.  Currently I have the Horse, Tiger, Dragon, Goat, Monkey and something else that i cant think of right now.

The others Im working on and should hopefully be done this week.

The collection can be found HERE

The Horse is my daughter Independent and free.

The Monkey is my son, clueless, but with a huge heart.

The Tiger is me (apparently Im supposed to love adventure, be unpredictable, and not be interested in money...that being said I will starve without the money, so buy some prints...hint hint)

The Dragon is my girlfriend, courageous, confident and makes really good meatloaf.
