Artist's Comments

Every now and then I get the urge to do a deathless, meaningful painting, a painting for the ages, a painting that tackles with the big subjects of life and death and love and loss and suffering and glory.

Then I go paint mice in little costumes, because let's face it--that's really what I'm good at.

While I am notoriously reluctant to commit to any series, ever, under any circumstances, no matter what, I will go so far as to say that a set of mousey magic-users would be awfully cute. Mousey druid! Mousey shaman! Mousey brujah! Mousey sorcerer! The possibilities are endless! That doesn't mean I'll do it--my Muse is perverse and likes to prove I can't tell her what to do--but I'm willing to admit it'd be cute.

Prints are available, for $10 & $20 plus shipping. The original 10 x 14 watercolor/colored pencil/ink is not currently for sale until I figure out whether it's not-a-series or REALLY not a series--I may want to offer 'em as a set, or perhaps auction it, I dunno, but if you're interested, you can always contact me and check on the status.

You have this way of making the most of whatever colours you use. It's goregous. :D

Oh man. The texture for the background rocks hard. How do you do it? I must know your secrets, for they will surely make me better. And stuff.

Also the mouse is cute and woo and yay.

I like him - he has a slightly more mature look than some of your previous mousies (thinking of the elementals here :D). And the color scheme is ever so nice. Yay cream and blue!

Do you find on certain pictures you lean more heavily on a particular medium? I ask because this works looks colored-pencil heavy. Not, "heavy, bad," just, "heavy, heavy." Sometimes, with some of your work, you almost can't place the medium. Your colors, by medium, simply blend so well together that one can't easily tell them apart -- usually there's a strong three-dimensionality attached to pictures where you've colored like this -- with other pictures it seems as though you'll sometimes lean on a particular medium more, for whatever desired effect you were seeking, as seems to be the case here . . .

Sometimes I wonder if I talk to much. EDIT: I take that back. I KNOW I talk to much.

P.S. And just to make it clear, "I love this picture!"
