MOVING

www.mikisatoillustration.com/blog/

So I decided that I would move my blog over to Wordpress, and to also host it on my own domain :)

It's kind of sad to leave this one behind, but I transferred over all of my past posts and the comments, and the appearance hasn't really changed either ... so hopefully it won't be so bad.

I hope to see you guys there!!

fish forest

This is actually used as a background for another picture I was working on, but I ended up liking it just as it is.

originals now in etsy

Just a small post to say that the originals that I posted in the last two entries are now up for sale in my Etsy store!

I'll probably be doing more of these things pretty soon : )

jellyfish and strawberries

4"x6"

These two are photos instead of the usual scanned images... I did try to scan them at first, but because they're more 3D than my usual images, they turned out horrible : D

I wish I could take better photos of them, but these will have to do for now. I'll be taking more pictures later on anyways once I get frames (and hopefully they'll turn out a bit better than these ones!)

snails and robins

Nice and simple : )
Both are 4"x6" and I'm planning to eventually sell these (and more once I make them) on my Etsy... but first I need to get frames!

surveillance

Surveillance
3.5" x 2.5"

Yaaay, this is the last one in this size!
The colours ended up being different than what I originally envisioned, but it's all good.

I'll probably be doing the next illustration much larger... that will be a welcoming change.

palette

This isn't really a post about anything, but I thought I would share it anyways.

I've been using this container for my painting water for a long time now, so the inside gets crusty with dried paint. I was just washing it out today to start working on a new image when I realized the different colours that were left over looked kind of nice together.

I was also just in the process of thinking up colours to use in the illustration, so I think I'll try to mimic these ones. Not sure how successful I'll be with it though!

perceptive

Perceptive
3.5" x 2.5"

I said in my last post that this one will be simpler... but I ended up changing things around so it became a bit more complicated. Especially the background.

One more to come!

recycle

Recycle
2.5" x 3.5"

Another one!

The next one is a bit more simpler.

unorthodox teaching

Unorthodox Teaching
2.5" x 3.5"

1 of 4 new illustrations I'm doing in this size.... it's tiny!
