this is the concept art for a cover-up tattoo. i submitted my photoshop dorking around with the lineart for this… but this was first. not sure i care for either too much, sorta cheesy… but maybe i like it that there are so many overused tattoo archetypes represented. or i’m tired and tipsy.
Sales of this Design? – 1 sale so far :) / / ‘Asia Series’ card by Karin Taylor This piece is imbued with a lot of heartfelt meaning. / Here is a painting I did in response to the story of Sadako. One day my daughter Sarah bought home a little sheet of paper with the story of Sadako on it and I was deeply moved by the tragic story of her life. You can read all about Sadako by googling her name or the story about the Thousand Paper Cranes. Just briefly though, Sadako was just a little baby when the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, and by the age of 11 years she had lost her fight for life due to leukaemia, as a result of the radiation from the bomb. Sadako tried hard to be cheerful and dreamed of living a long life. A little friend of hers suggested that she make 1000 paper cranes, because as legend had it, doing this could make your dreams come true. Unfortunately, Sadako died, she was only able to make 600 cranes (please see Mui-Ling Teh’s comment below for more information), but her courageous effort and fighting spirit lives on in the hearts of everyone everywhere who hears her story of hope, faith and determination. / www.sadako.org/sadakostory.htm This picture is all about Sadako being taken up into heaven at the moment of her passing from this life to the next. There are a few symbols in this painting that represent different things. The camouflage on her dress represents wartime. The wings indicate Sadako has a heavenly body now, and you can see Sadako is actually affixing them to herself as she accepts her fate. The magic carpet is taking her up to heaven. The little doll is her companion in this life and the next, similar idea to the ancient egyptians who placed belongings of the deceased with them inside the pyramids for comfort in the next life, the circles in the background represent glowing light emanating from the black stars in the sky, guiding her way to her new destination. There is an air of both sadness and triumph…leaving this world is sad, but entering the next healed and whole is triumphant. This painting won a prize at an exhibition in Tweed Heads last year.
‘Friends Series’ TShirt by Karin Taylor One Spring Day is a mixed media production (ink, pastel, charcoal, acrylic) on canvas textured paper. I have also used a variety of found objects, including lace and ribbons…and an especially beautiful gold paint for the wings which were underpainted first to created texture. On of my favourite paintings, my heart and soul went into this piece…two sweet little girls in darling dresses hanging out in the garden together….what could be nicer.
Movement, light and reflection
Sweet Dreams… This is a piece that I’m really happy on how it turned out. It’s just so lively and cheerful looking to me and all the colors just make it so beautiful. Done with markers and colored pencil. <3>
Sorry about the quality of the photo! / This image was Doodled with a biro. Probably during one of those impossibly long telephone calls that we girls make ;~) / My biro doodlling was born of the desire to escape from the boredom of droning teachers at school

Cicadas are a part of Australian culture, especially in the warmer regions. Double Drummer Cicadas (Thopha saccata) are Australia’s largest species and give off a very long loud droning similar to bagpipes. As the name suggests the male appears to have an extra set of ‘drums’ (sacks that assist in resonating sound). These are painted from my own specimens collected when I was a child, kept as pets until they passed away naturally. They feed on sap from freshly picked eucalyptus branches. I no longer collect specimens from the wild today, now preferring catch, observe enjoy, record and release. View my Youtube channel ‘cicada135’ see “Nimbin cicada” Watercolour
Female cecropia moth. The cecropia moth is one of the largest moths found in North America. It is a member of the Saturniidae family, or giant silk moths. Females with a wingspan of 130 mm or more have been documented. The larvae of these moths are most commonly found on Maple trees, but they have been known to feed on Wild Cherry and Birch trees among many others. (photo shot in Mooresville, Indiana, 7/25/09.)

As the males partook in all kinds of boisterous activity, this female Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) decided to observe the proceedings at a distance from the top of this Pacific crabapple tree. Though lacking the striking colors of the males, this female is a lovely-looking bird. Reifel Bird Sanctuary, BC, 21 Sep 2009.
