Maiden of the Floating World
A piece I did in the style of the Ukiyo-e woodblock prints, which is something I've wanted to do for a while, and because of the theme for FCN, I had the chance to do it =). A kitsune geisha in a kimono and a natural setting seemed like a good choice. The writing in the upper right says Ukiyo-e no Otome, or Maiden of the Floating World. (although more literally maiden of the pictures of the floating world, as Ukiyo-e is the word used to describe the art style of the time)
Originally done for the FCN conbook, but I guess it didn't make it into the book.
Done with micron inks, and acrylic paints on 8"x10.5" illustration board.

Nice work in an unusual style for you. One of the neat things about this medium is that it was designed for mass production, with the simple color shading. So sharing your work in this way, instead of only having one copy hanging in a gallery, is nicely in the spirit of ukiyo-e art.
Also I like the connection between kitsune folklore and the phrase "floating world". Ties in with those legends about kitsune having mysterious pocket universes.
