A 2012 year-end review! Here are some of my favorite pieces I created in 2012. All of these were either tons of fun to make, helped me grow in some way, or gave me a chance to play with something new. Looking back, I think what I've learned from this past year, and what I need to do better this new year is simple: Make more. More more more. More. 

2013! Gonna make so much more!!

The Vodyanoi is a sort of water demon from Russian folklore, sometimes called the Father of Mermaids, who, when angered, causes floods, breaks dams, and drowns people, dragging them underwater to serve him forever. Victims of drowning were not buried at Orthodox cemeteries, as by taking the souls of his victims away from him, the Vodyanoi would become angry, causing drought or hail in retribution.

I created my own interpretation of the Vodyanoi for Seventh Church Ministries, a small press publisher who is producing limited-edition prints of this in conjunction with their release of Jeanne D’Angelo’s upcoming zine “Unclean Spirits.” Prints will be available September 25th.

AAAAAH I really want one of those Esmereldas prints! Can I do a pre-order???

I'm psyched you like them, and I'm really sorry, but I can't do pre-orders. I have a really limited run of the poster available and it's reserved for SPX attendees :( BUT, if there's any of them left over, I will make them available for sale online, and even if there aren't any left over, I'm hoping prints might go up for sale on inPRNT maybe.

People have responded so well to my Emeraldas (♥) that it's definitely not going away. So don't you worry! Prints will be get-able at some point in the near future at some online venue.

What are you thinking about, Log Lady?

So there you go. What'd I tell ya? (She'll be B&W in the zine, but I can never resist color on my own time.) This one's for you, cacophonyofcolour.
