Testing out some color ideas in preparation for Mythtober 2021 ✨ My newest plan is to make each mythic creature square (individual prompt days) into a cumulative poster print. So the little square backgrounds will link up and make a huge gradient background. Hope that makes sense. I can’t wait for Mythtober art challenge to begin! Just a few more days… 💜👻💜👺💜 .

Mythic Mail Letters From Japan book secrets: 👺Today’s Easter egg (super top secret hidden gem) is this illustrated postcard featuring the Bura-Bura, or haunted paper lantern. The characters that make his eyes and nose are called “henohenomoheji” using Japanese hiragana. It’s a little joke that these characters look like a face when arranged on paper. The eyes are “no”, the nose is “mo”. Not pictured are “he” for the eyebrows and mouth and “ji” for the outline of the face. ✨Link to the book in my bio✨ . #burabura #haunted #hauntedattraction #foxfire #kitsune #indiebooks #indiebook #mythicmail #mythicalcreatures #yokai #yokaiwatch #yokaiart #japan #traveljapan #japantravel #japanesefolklore #japanesemonster #snailmaillove #indiebookstore #indieauthors #indieauthorsofinstagram #supportindieauthors #mythology #japanesemythology #japaneseculture #mythical (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTfRhasJ8or/?utm_medium=tumblr

Monster Cat! Scroll to see more 👉 It took quite a bit of practice to make sumi ink paintings I was happy with. Now I need to find some nice paper to mount them on... On a side note, my daughter and I spent nearly an hour on Google translate trying to figure out what type of hair each of my Chinese ink brushes is made of. 💜 #yokai #yokaiart #sumiink #sumiepainting #inkpainting #monstercat #catofinstagram #japanesebrushpainting #inkbrush #painting #artistic #artworkpromotion #artistoninstagram #artoftheday #artfeature #artpage #100daysofart (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTIFgjylB3w/?utm_medium=tumblr

Work in progress, but my coyote mural is coming along. He has his base colors in and now I get to work on fur. We’ll talk fungi in a couple days.
