Regarding Saving Copies of Art (IMPORTANT READ):
-
When art is downloaded and printed without compensation to the artist, it significantly impacts the artist's ability to make a living as a creator.
We can try, but we can't stop anyone from doing this if they really wanted to.
It's important to really think about what this means - if it becomes a normal practice for everyone, artists won't be able to afford to continue creating art.
Please know I fully support printing artwork via whatever means work best for you. I want to help ensure my art looks as best as it can in your home.

Supporting my art can be as simple as purchasing a digital download. It's an easy yet meaningful way to contribute to my business!
Malevolent Grace
Malevolent Grace
I envisioned Daki as the enigmatic ruler of the entertainment district, a place where her rule was absolute, yet her presence remained a mystery wrapped in the guise of a geisha. Her dominion is a direct contrast to her impulsive nature, a characteristic that fascinated me deeply. The time and dedication it must have taken for her to ascend to such a position of power intrigued me, especially considering the dark impulses that lie beneath her composed exterior.
This painting is my attempt to capture the moment when her control slips and her true power is unleashed. The colors chosen—vibrant purples and deep reds—reflect the energy and intensity of this transformation. I paid close attention to the way light plays across her face and the ribbons, highlighting the strength and the ferocity that she embodies.
The ribbons are a central element of the piece, reflecting the beauty and danger she wields. They are a physical manifestation of her anger, an extension of her will, and I aimed to represent them with as much authenticity as possible. To me, they are not just a detail of her character but a symbol of the lives destroyed by her power.
