Just uploaded for the first time in *ahem* about a year. (Yeah...I gotta work on that.) All of the new art is "kiri-e," the Japanese form of paper-cutting art. I'm building a series of animal kiri-e pics for next year's calendar. If you have any questions about kiri-e--what it is, who my influences are, etc.--don't hesitate to ask!

If you like my Japanese cat illustrations and would like to see them on your wall all year long, allow me to recommend them in calendar form! Large 11x8.5" (28x21.6cm): http://www.calyptic.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?s=e6u6ity5v Small 5.5x8.5" (14x21.6cm): http://www.calyptic.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?s=wtrhxblbu2ub&ver=4 A calendar of Japanese Cats 2014 is now available at Calyptic Creations (the only website in the universe, it seems, that offers a vertical calendar option)! He who is Enlightened knows that one must be surrounded by cats at all times to achieve inner peace...so be sure to tell your friends!

Only 1 piece left to the 12-part (not including the cover) Japanese Cats series! Working on it now, but as there are fireworks [foolishly] involved, it's gonna take some time to fix it up for the digital world. All cats currently posted on deviantart are available on my Society 6 page, however! (If you are interested in a print, I suggest the Mini/Small options over the larger sizes... It seems someone who ordered a big print said it didn't come out so clear. My suspicion is that this is because the larger sizes are larger than the originals, so the sharp edges are compromised.)
