"Hemlock and Roses" -- RivkaZ 2013

Along with the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes and Poirot, Cadfael occupies a prominent place in my fond childhood memories. Rewatching the series has been a surreally enjoyable experience; Brother C is as fantastic as he ever was. 

This was inspired by the episode "The Rose Rent". 

"Peacock" -- RivkaZ 2013

A dashing gentleman preens before his admiring audience-- what else is the opera for, after all, if not to be seen?

(Pose and attire referenced from the great J.C. Leyendecker)

Original Art prints for sale on Etsy! These are printed on demand on 13x19 glossy photo paper and then cut to size.

After fretting about the cost of high quality printing for quite some time, I finally found a printer who will make my art into posters for rates that don't make my eyes bleed! Who is this exceedingly reasonable and generous patron, you may ask?  I will give you a hint: his last name rhymes with "flipper" and I am getting him something for father's day*.

Anyway, if you like my pretty, pretty prince drawings and you want a poster of one of them to grace your wall, head on over to Terrible Dragons on Etsy and check them out! :)

1) "Tiny Prince Wesley and the Storm Dragon" 13x17 inches

The Incorruptible has never been so adorable. Tiny Maximillien comes with a multitude of interchangeable props! Watch as he effortlessly snubs his political rivals by balancing a full wine glass without spilling a drop! He can point with great authority at various injustices and demand that they be corrected! He can even take time out of his busy schedule as the defender of liberty to admire a dainty sprig of flora. Enjoy maneuvering your very own public servant and notorious historical figure!

Paper Dolls!

Devious Devil and Sweet Angel Sisters-- Paper Dolls --Rivka Nipper 2012

I realize this blog has been a little sparse lately, for which I apologize. For some reason my ability to sit down and draw things took a vacation, and in the mean time I've been experimenting with other mediums. I've made a lot of tiny hats and polymer clay critters and jewelry, and I've opened an Etsy account so I have somewhere to put it all, but I haven't actually been making too much "serious art", whatever that is.

Anyway, these lovely ladies are for sale at Terrible Dragons on Etsy, if tiny posable cute dollies are your thing. :)

"Vines, Wasps, Rabbits"--  Rivka Nipper 2012

Wow! Long time no blog. Have some swirly therapy art, complete with all the usual suspects: princes, bunnies, poppies. You know.
