Just Lovely

Lovely - Ink, colored pencil, markers - ©2014

Good afternoon! How are you guys doing?

Today, I'm pretty awesome considering I finally finished this weird piece you see above. Trust me, it gets creepier the more you look at it. The inspiration behind this is my love for cosmetics, eye makeup and the slightly absurd. And now apparently the slightly disturbing.

As you may have read in earlier posts, I graduated college and now no longer have the excuse to say "Well, this art was for an assignment." Now I have to own up to what I create and provide appropriate commentary and reasons for creating what I create. 

Art is like therapy or my own personal time. Because I haven't painted in a few weeks I was surprised at the stuff that came out of my pen. I titled this piece "Lovely." Lovely refers to my sarcasm and to the ever important point that nothing is quite how it seems. It symbolizes the duality in the world. You may only see a beautiful eye, but after a while you might notice the deadly creature and its victims... Oh, just lovely. *shakes head at self*

Thanks for reading! If you'd like to purchase a print, head to my shop by clicking here!

Jasper the Cat is Getting Married!!!

I haven't talked about Jasper the Cat in a while! He's doing great, in fact he is engaged to be married in a year.

Above - shh! He's sleeping! 

Yes, you heard right (not really, this whole thing is sheer sarcasm), Jasper is engaged to the Noble Lady Victoria Morley of Ross. (Real name of cat) Miss Victoria, is a rescue cat who was born on the streets. She became royalty simply by me noticing her at an adoption drive.

 Holding Victoria for the first time ever-- look it that FACE!!!!

I manipulated my bestie, Rachael into bringing her home-- even though Rachael said she couldn't get another cat. All I had to do was have Rachael hold her and she fell in love. *heeheehee, trickery!*

Miss Victoria is now in a forever home with Rachael, and I've taken responsibility as her Fairy God Mother. (Coz of course fairies...)

The wedding will take place when Victoria turns two. The young couple show their affection to each other by stalking one another and provoking each other whenever Jasper comes to visit.

Victoria's adopted brother, and Jasper's best friend, Winston the Cat, will be best man and witness to their wedding.

Above is Winston and Jasper- spooning. Jasper is the little spoon.

To mark this momentous occasion, Artist Miranda Ramsey donated her talents to making the wedding announcements, and offer favors for all the wedding guests of throw pillows, iphone cases, prints, framed portraits and so on!

So for the first time ever, I announce the engagement of Noble Lady Victoria Elizabeth Morley of Ross to her beloved, Sir Jasper Vincent Cullin Mullin Nobleman of the House Saint Clair. 

(All joking aside, Miranda is my friend from college who started a Voctorian Cat series and drew Jasper and Victoria when she saw how cute they were and heard my ridiculous story about them. She has more in her series-- please check her out, she's AMAZING!!!)

Of course, I couldn't have a wedding without some of my artwork being involved! A portrait of Victoria and Jasper are in the making in contemporary Pop-Art, Warhol inspired pieces.

Heeheehee - so, yeah... That happened. Hopefully I didn't hurt your brain too much. I basically just wanted to announce my new artwork and online shop and also Miranda Ramsey's art coz she's awesome AND featured Jasper and my friend's cat in her Victorian cat series!

Have a great rest of your day and enjoy your burrito!
