I like it a lot. They say that every artist tells a story about each piece they create. What are the stories behind each of your art work? I think it would make them come alive even more.

Thank you I appreciate that. There are stories behind my artworks, however, I like the artworks to speak for themselves and for people to interpret them as they’d like.

I can add more to my descriptions here on substack. I’m just not on here too frequently so I didn’t think too much of it! Haha.

This piece was inspired by the Irezumi, Tebori style of tattooing peonies that originated from Japan. I love that style and so I was practicing it with my own flare. This piece was my first time practicing it. I plan on incorporating them into my main pieces of the anime characters that I do. I like to make my artwork look like it pops and that it’s radiating energy off of it. So that’s why I like to draw the black lines around it. Thank you again for enjoying my art :)!

That's what I was looking for :-) It's great to know what the artists thought when this piece of art was born. Thanks for sharing that.
