A Whole City’s Worth Of New Art

Ubiki modern art

I’ve added a bunch of new art to my Etsy shop — okay, okay, so not quite a “city’s” worth of new art *grin*, but if you’ve been following along with my blog recently, it’s a little bit different from my past work!

The trio of mini-prints above is called She Always Left The Light On, and is available in 5″x7″ (I’m happy to print 8″x10″ on request). If you look closely, you’ll see different windows lit up in each house and building. When I made these pieces, I was thinking of the special individuals in our lives who stick with us through thick and thin. OR, you can take my mom’s more humorous interpretation: it shows all the lights that me and my dad absent-mindedly leave on around the house. =P

Above is another style that I’ve been playing with, inspired by the rustic Chinese folk art. My parents have often told me about a village in southern China that my ancestors called home, so My Village was created with that in mind (admittedly, the architecture is somewhat European).

Lastly, I’ve also been working on a third series that I call Tall Buildings. It’s all about skyscrapers, highrise apartments and other vertically un-challenged buildings. As with most of my art, these new pieces have a slightly whimsical/retro/modern feel to it (hint: look closely at the flagpoles!).

Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy my latest round of art. It’s been awhile since I’ve been made *anything* but it feels *great* to be putting my creativity to work. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoyed making them!

PS - here’s a few more pix:

Hello! Popped over from Decor8. Great work! I’m loving all your houses and tall buildings, though it *does* look pretty different from your earlier stuff. Think I’ll be getting two of the tall buildings and your village print :) If I were richer I’d totally get all four of the tall buildings and the little houses though, they look so great together.

What are those bunnies?? They crack me up.

Hi Rowan! I’m so glad you like the new art … in fact, I’ll keep an eye out for your purchase and be sure to include a little sumtin’ sumtin’ extra for you! ^_^

BTW, the bunnies are called “Labbit”. They each come with several interchangeable pieces, allowing you to change them to suit your mood. =) If you’d like one, they’re available here:
