Richard Parker Dear Rae ring

What are the nicest things to draw? Animals, without a doubt. This collaboration with Dear Rae Jewellery made me super happy. Karin designed these charming animal rings inspired by The Life of Pi and asked me to dream up a matching series of limited prints of Richard Parker, a bird and a fish.  What animal are you? I thought I might be a tiger, turns out I’m a fish. Follow this link to shop.

I hand-tinted each print with gold ink: the nose on RP, flying-fins on the fish and wings on the goose. 

(the first twenty purchases of these rings in either gold or silver come with one of my limited prints)

I have a little shop

And it is open! http://katrincoetzer.bigcartel.com
If you're interested in buying a print, I hope you find something you like. I've added a handful of things so if you'd like a custom print you're welcome to contact me. Most of all I'm excited about the paper my work is printed on. Nice and heavy 310gsm Hahnemühle, 100% cotton.

Lion Around

Ah the title is cheesy I know but I couldn't have it any other way. This painting was my very girly take on this story.  

(take a look at the drama of Rubens, Brueghel, Tanner)

In related news, we've moved to our new sunny home which is officially 'pet-friendly'. Time to get a feline :)
