I’ve bought a couple of great art pieces in the last couple months. One from innocentgirl who is a Melbourne local, and kozyndan, from Los Angeles.

The story is deep – look into her eyes
Title: Foxgirl
Be drawn into an acidic world – with bunnies
Title: Takadanobaba on Acid
I bought the Kozyndan piece from Outré Gallery on Elizabeth St in the City. They have a great selection. You can also buy direct from kozyndan’s site.
These guys should get together and collaborate on a piece – their styles would really gel.
P.S. – innocentgirl tells the story behind her piece in the comments.

Hey Cris,
Thanks for the addition!
The fox, or kitsune as they are known in Japan, are seen as the tricksters or pranksters of the animal world, similar in a way to our view of the fox as being ‘cunning’. They are believed to possess magical powers and can often assume human form. The work I created was inspired by an original illustration by “Tsukioka Yoshitoshi” which was based on this story:”The Heian noble, Abe no Yasuna, when walking in the garden of the Inari temple in Kyoto, rescued a fox that was being hunted for its liver—used in Japanese medicine. Shortly thereafter, he met and married a beautiful girl named Kuzunoha. She bore him a son, but, after three years, she left him. Three days after she left, she appeared to him in a dream, telling him not to mourn, for she was not human, but the fox he had rescued”.
