Blossom Spirits Sneak Peek

Here is a sneak peek at my newest series, Blossom Spirits. I'll have pairings in long pictures and close couples. The long pictures will be able to hang side by side as the sneak peek shows, forming an even larger picture. I plan to have each spirit in smaller close-ups for different merchandise on Redbubble.com.

Look forward to them!

They're All Up!

I finally have all alphabet fairies up for sale on RedBubble! It took longer than expected, but I'm happy with the results. You can find them all under one collection button on my profile. And buy them on various items, including iPads! In the future, I'm planning on putting them into an art book, showcasing their evolution from the original concept to final outcome. Look forward to it!

I'm Selling Online!

I've opened up shop with Redbubble.com and started to sell my artwork online! After the success at the Saanich Fair, I was inspired to start putting my work up for sale. You'll even find some of the work displayed in my blog in the form of prints, printed clothing and even some iphone cases.

You will also see my latest art series, the Alphabet Fairies. The first two letters are up now, with more to come. I'll be uploading the fairies in pairs, hopefully one pair per week.

Mekatt is also making appearance along with the newest illustrations and photoshop images, like Key to the Underworld.

Please check it out. I'm under the name landimonk.

Dream Creative Space

I had always thought about how my own art work space would look like if I didn't have to worry about the expense of making it. It would have enough counter space for cutting out large pieces of paper, fabric or other materials that I want. A place for my dressmaker's mannequin, computer, and plenty of areas to store any materials that I might work with. I'd also like space to display photos and art. Keeping those things in mind, I produced this line drawing. I was actually inspired by a scene in Studio Ghibli's "Howl's Moving Castle". The drawing took some time to do, since I first laid it out in pencil, then went over the pencil marks with a fine tipped pen, and finally used the same pen in various strokes to create the shadows. For the paper, I chose an antiqued coloured craft paper for an overall aged look. This is my ideal work space and hopefully I can create it in real life soon.
