An Amazing Art Gallery

I wasn't quite sure who or what this little elfin guy was, but I liked the picture, so I asked Tadpole. He wasn't sure either, but said he was a little corn spirit or sprite of some kind and would bring a bountiful harvest and good fortune. That was good enough for me!

The original of this is framed and hangs over my bed. It is just adorable. A cat sleeps, keeping one eye open, whilst a sleepwalking mouse tiptoes past, his terrified friend in hot pursuit, complete with candlestick. It always makes me think of that poem "'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse...." Don't know why, it just does!

One of my very favourite Oliver Tadpole paintings hangs on my bedroom wall. It is an oil on MDF portrait of my first rescue Persian, my namesake Photahsiamirabel. Today we removed her briefly from her frame and scanned her so that we could share her image with you, and here it is in both naturalistic colours and digitally enhanced for those who like their art bold and bright!

Blue Persian with Starfish by persimew

This is wistful and surrealist. The dreaming tree spirit has a grandmotherly look to me....

I commissioned this series of cartoons from Tadpole with a view to making a video to showcase the piece of music "Laetitia's Veil" They exceeded my expectations for belly laughing as well as bellydancing and gave way to a whole range of Zazzle products as well as posters. They show Tadpole's quirky and unusual imagination - give him a simple idea and he will come up with a masterpiece of invention!

Of Percy Bysshe - the poet Shelley -
Causing her profound despair he
Gallopped off with clever Mary....

and so it goes - you'll need to read Tadpole's illustrated for the rest though ;)


Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Poster by persimew

I featured this range of products elsewhere, but had not added the canvas print until today. If you love this illustration (as I do) you can now get it as an art print, or scale it down to a poster if preferred. Tadpole would love his drawing to be featured on walls worldwide!

Tadpole entered a tender for some Health education posters and came up with these fantastic designs. The panel chose something much more mundane and tame as these were deemed "too scary". Why is it panels are comprised of people with wooden heads? Guess that's why they are called "panels". Anyway, judge for yourself!
