How very enchanting

Perhaps my Manga-loving students have inspired me to revisit the stunning work of Audrey Kawasaki, whose style has been described as a fusion of Art Nouveau and Japanese Manga.  Her lines are certainly reminiscent of the Czech painter Alphonse Mucha, and are almost begging to be tattooed onto someone's arm.  I particularly enjoy her thoughtful application of paint and the wood grain left visible beneath it. You can visit Audrey's website, and read an interesting article with some images of her process here.
