Tag As FavoriteComment		Japanese version of the Queen of Swords tarot card. The lady is wearing a modern tomesode kimono. The mon on the kimono are the character 'ko' for child (childlike sense of humor) and the kanji on the sword handle is 'kokoro', meaning 'heart', or 'spirit'. 9x12, acrylic on textured board

Great job- i especially like the girls face and kimono. I love the card series!

I like the steady gaze and the way she holds the sword as if she's gonna bow low and hold it out to a samurai lord. Uber cool.

Agreed with Alexandra above... you've captured the duality of innocence and danger perfectly. A delicate flower with razor petal edges. Ala Lady Snowblood. Again this series is simply stunning.

Do you draw using real kimonos and models, or do you just make the kimono patterns and colors up as you go along?

I like the kimono. You have a real knack for drawing them. Not only that, but the girl who fills the kimono is beautiful too!

She looks very strong, very sure of herself. And she is so pretty!

Very cool.

She looks kind of dangerous... The type of hunter that plays with its food before eating it... I like that... I love the fact that your japanese queens have different personalities... Powerful/Childish... Seductive/Innocent... Great work... You also seem to know a lot about japanese art and culture...very much like myself... I just love Japan...You've won me 100%...
