Aya's Depression II
I made this commission, Aya's Depression II for my cool client Marcus Lo (He's a great guy!). I really enjoyed doing this very much. Please click this big photo collage to view.
9.5" X 28.25", Mixed Media
(Acrylic, Coloured Pencil, Graphite, Sand Iron, Gesso & Coffee on Acacia Plank Wood)
Next time, I'll make two plank wooden paintings, The Midnight Dreams of Aya for sale. By the way, I saw many wonderful rubber stamps in Etsy and Ebay but I can't afford them. So I better made my own rubber stamps... Ta-da! It went smooth. I stamped them on my big package for Marcus. It was so fun. When I have time, I'll make more rubber stamps especially circus fonts and my characters Babu and Abu! EEEEeeeEEEeeeeEEEEEee! I really miss my carving skills/ linocut skills!
Tomorrow I'll start painting my next commission for my wonderful lovely client / friend Stephanie. Look at my latest rough sketch below. And awww, Steph showed me her sweet photo of my sold original painting (Mysterious Cats) and other artists' great pieces.
For the new projects (new children's books, graphic novel & music album cover) whom I got emails past days ago, wait for my response patiently. I need to finish my present commisions first. Thanks for understanding me! That's all folks! Good day to all of you, good night to me!
P.S. My grandpa is still at the hospital. Hope he will get better soon!

Like the first painting, this is another powerful artwork. It has a very dark mood/theme. Were you influenced by any painting from Mark Ryden? Some of the textures and red colour reminded us of his work. Particularly love the expression on Aya's eyes. She seems to look right inside our souls and you can almost hear her thoughts. It's beautiful! The roses beneath her is a brilliant touch!!
You used those stamps in the package that you sent Marcus? That is so cool :O so, not only you are a fantastic illustrator but you also have amazing carving skills!! You are always surprising us with your inumerous talents :D
Steph commission work is looking great so far. And she is very lucky to have "Misterious Cats" in her wall... that painting is gorgeous :)
Best of luck for the commissions that you are working right now and congrats on the new projects! You deserve all that recognition because your art is amazing. ♥
Our prayers go to your grandpa at this moment. We also hope he gets better!
*hugs*
The "Aya" painting is so beautiful. I'm in love.

As always i love your work, dear. Very beautifully done. I like Aya's very much. I like it.

aya piece is so powerful, moving and impressive. marcus is lucky! you described the mixed media medium.. damn, it sounds very tough and interesting. give my big hug to your girl character Aya, ok? I got distracted by her eyes, hair, everything.... : ) i'll look forward to seeing your "the midnite dreams of aya" wooden paintings.

agree with pupu, i didn't know that you got carving skills! why didn't you tell me before??? hihi, you always surprises us! mall, you should make your own rubber stamps for selling. i can't find circus alphabets rubber stamps thru online shoppings.
