I was quite pleased to see Ubiki’s latest artwork featured on decor8! Her blog has always been one of my favorites, and Holly herself is an extremely nice person. Thanks Holly!

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:

All of these are currently available at my Etsy shop, with $3 FLAT RATE shipping for US and Canada! =)

Yes, that is a pair of jeans, a dress, and someone’s button-up flappin’ in the breeze atop those buildings. They say you can lose your shirt in this business, but what they failed to mention is you can also lose your pants! =)
