Two of the more chaste fairies are based on my daughter Ashli and her friend Machele, and the Valkyrie is also my daughter Ashli. The Full Tilt is our SCA baronial newsletter and that cover was nominated for a Blackfox award, the only newsletter in our kingdom so honored that year. The Mermaid is a real crowd pleaser. Freyja was drawn for a Norse Pagan magazine I think. The slutty chick with the whip was on a bet. The Dragon was her first, just to see if she could. Slutty Red Riding Hood just amused her. She is sick today, apparently an allergic reaction to her antibiotics; so I didn't get to start my 43 AD game today like I planned. Now it's looking like Sunday if she's feeling better.
Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you liked them. She used to do a lot of illustration work but got sick of doing stuff "just to get her name out there" for free. Now she mostly draws to amuse herself and occasionally does some commission work. For a while she had a pretty regular thing going for her fairies and mermaids with a gallery in Seattle, but the price of her art never seemed to rise, then the demand dropped off. I think her biggest claim to fame is probably that she was doing tattooed fairies (and mermaids) way ahead of anyone else, that I ever saw anyway, she was doing the tattooed fairy thing back in the early 1990's.
DeleteVery nice. Mona's talent is obvious.
