Art Feature: Ryna Ordynat

While browsing Etsy for Adventure Time themed items for my Adventure Time Treasury & my Game of Thrones Treasury, I came accross Ryna Arts, and decided this talented lady deserved her very own post.

Ryna is from Melbourne and is an archaeology student but draws and paints in her spare time. She specialises in painting fan art and fantasy in her own unique style. Ryna uses mainly watercolours and graphite pencils in her work.

Most of you will know by now that I'm a massive Adventure Time geek, so I almost squealed with excitement at seeing Ryna's fan art of Fionna! I'm also a big Game of Thrones fan and I absolutely love the way she's captured the Game of Thrones characters in her own style.

Wednesday Art Feature: Art and Ghosts

Art & Ghosts produces beautiful, ghostly and mysterious artwork. I can see heavy influences of nature and fairy tales in their work, with a recurring theme of white rabbits. This may be a secret undertone of illuminati symbolism or just heavily inspired by fairtales. Either way I find it unsettling, fragile and beautiful.

What I admire most about their work is the minimal amount of shading to the girls faces in some of their more ghostlike works. I am myself someone who often overshades, so it's a big inspiration and learning curve to see the delicate, barely there shading in some of the girls faces.

While looking at Art & Ghosts' work online, I found it really hard to find any information about the artist. I think this adds to the mystery of Art & Ghosts work, don't you think?

Which is your favorite Art & Ghosts work? Mine has to be the ghostly pony and little girl.

Time for Tea

Remember the lovely Renee from Antiquarian Miss And her beautiful Tea cup collection? Well, a couple of weeks ago Renee asked me to do her some tea cup themed shoes based on her fav tea cup! I loved the idea of painting some little whimsical tea cup shoes so I got to work!

Here are the finished shoes, I'm really happy with them and I hope Renee is too!
This is my new style of brogues, I have them in stock in a dark brown or black, in most sizes! Shoot me an email if you'd like your own custom shoes: ponychopsshop@gmail.com

Welcome to the tea party

I was working on some funky brown bear brogues and brown bear monster matryoshka yesterday. So i'm super annoyed that the weather is too gloomy to photograph them today!!

Here's some shoes I just put in the shop. I am in loveeee with these colours together:

Here's some moar brogues that are half finished, the green ones are the ones that I covered with brown bears :):

A palace for birds

I'm slightly jealous of the birds that get to live in this beautiful bird house in Kings Wood, Kent.
