Artist's Comments

Original piece, done for the FC2009 Art Show. This was sold there (yay!).

I figured I should put some of my childhood teachings to use. ;) It's been a long time since I painted with a traditional brush, but apparently my hands still remember most of the form. :P The Chinese reads "貓苗" (mao1 miao2), which means "cat sprout", and I found it amusing cuz they're essentially the same character, just with a different radical. ;) And the other Chinese, in the red box? That's my name. :3
