![]() ![]() Kozy had done an alternate comp with a rainy forest with ninjas swinging in the trees that wasn’t ultimately chosen by the art director. I knew I wanted to draw a big old-growth forest, so I let my my imagination steer the artwork into an amalgamation of Japanese forests and Redwood forests. ![]() Which got me to thinking of the Redwoods of my home state of California. Occasionally you can still find a massive old tree, usually near a temple or shrine, but I like to think about how amazing these forest must have been hundreds of years ago (or even 90 years ago). ![]() I sometimes like to think about what the forests of Japan (which are really EVERYWHERE in Japan) looked like long ago, before all the big, old growth trees were cut down and the forests replanted in neat rows of Japanese cedar and cypress (which is devastating to the land now - these forests have little biodiversity, their deficiencies have wide reaching effects - extending to a decline in river fish for instance).

It was a lovely way to finish out the year! Its actually a quite meditative process for me - and I find myself listening to a lot of meditative sort of podcasts and music while I do this kind of painting process. I tried to stick close to what Dan imagined and just got lost in the process - figuring our how to make the snow, and then all the brush painted lifework afterwards. This is now my second time using an airbrush and its been fun to explore the new tool as I used it to make the snow in this painting. I got use my new toy, a little USB chargeable airbrush, again for this painting. This work was made using the same process as the “California Bunnywave” - Dan drew the lines colored it just how he imagined the final art to look in and then printed that illustration for me to trace the basic lines onto a 12 x 12 inch cradled board and then paint with acrylic gouache.

This work was made using the same process as the “California Bunnywave” - Dan drew the lines and colored it just how he imagined the final art to look in Procreate and then printed that illustration for me to trace the basic lines onto a 12 x 12 inch cradled board and then paint with acrylic gouache. Dan sketched up this illustration in December as the year of the Tiger (2022) was drawing to a close, and the year of the Rabbit (2023) was about to begin so as to commemorate this new lunar year, as well as “celebrate the power of cooperation to overcome daunting odds!” (Those are his words, I think he just wanted to draw more rabbits for all you rabbit fans out there!).
