Folklore: Japanese "Kitsune" Fox


Ok, so work has been just a bit busy lately, but I did do this little doodle of a traditional Japanese kitsune whom, according to Japanese folklore, would often disguise themselves as beautiful ladies to lure men away from their homes and into traps. Sorry for the quality, it was a very light drawing. Enjoy.

Folktale: La Loba





"They say she lives among the rotten granite slopes in Tarahumara Indian territory. They say she is buried outside Phoenix near a well. She is said to have been seen traveling south to Monte Alban in a burnt-out car with the back window shot out. She is said to stand by the highway near El Paso, or ride shotgun with truckers to Morelia, Mexico, or that she has been sighted walking to market above Oaxaca with strangely formed boughs of firewood on her back. She is called by many names: La Huesera, Bone Woman; La Trapera, The Gatherer; and La Loba, Wolf Woman."

Excerpted from: Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D.

Self-Portrait....Finally! By Laura

Ok, so I did this one the other night and finally got around to scanning it. I had previously done another one, but I seem to have misplaced it somewhere.....No matter, this one is better in my mind anyway :)

Self Portrait: Liege

"A self portrait study that I fixed in PS, original image is below. By fixing it I learned that my proportions were neglected early on in my sketch so I could get right into the rendering. "
