Illustration Friday - Voices

Coming out of Chaos

This is a reproduction print on canvas of my original collage on canvas board titled "Coming out of Chaos".

About the original: The center features a portrait done on washi (rice paper). For the background. I tore up other watercolor portraits on rice paper into small pieces. These pieces formed the collage for the background.

This week's IF topic is Voices. When I read my own writing, I hear my own voice. If it is a novel, I sometimes hear a different voice. In my dreams, voices can be in different languages (English, Spanish or Japanese).

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport!
