Dragons in my Coffee - Limited Edition of 10 Print

I'm not sure if this was prophetic or not, I know that tea has traditionally been touted as a source of premonition, but as I took this as a message -and it may have been a talisman of bad tidings. I don't often act on "signs" but I think this was one time that I did. This was a difficult image to put out of my mind -as striking and as "clear" as it is. I'm not sure that "hell is other people" but I am sure that being financially independent is a better lifestyle than being at the "mercy" of other people. Financial Independence is wealth and "security" Artists often fail to get their act together on the business side of their work. I love creating and really haven't enjoyed the business side of creativity, the internet makes it a lot easier to make a living as an artist ~and possible to have a happy home life because your relationships aren't marred by the fact that you can't keep body and soul satisfied. So I'm a lot more optimistic about the possibility of "domestic bliss" This image is a metaphor for an unhappy relationship. Two "dragons" living in the same "coffee cup" and "at each other's throats" I've never really been in a relationship that was quite that bad, but I've had my share of unhappy cohabitation. This is my dark satirical take on sad relationships. I feel fortunate to have been born in the internet age, where it's possible to make a living doing what you love, ~it makes domestic "bliss" (at least financially) obtainable. The colors that feature in this image are Brandy, Brick Red, Bright Maroon, Bronze, Brown Sugar, Buff, Cadmium Orange, Cedar Chest, Chestnut, Cosmic Latte, Crimson, Coral Pink and Corn. Coffee is a hug in a cup, and a reason to get out of bed in the morning. I love coffee, (almost) religiously.

You will appreciate this stunningly vital picture that is so spirited it will appear to levitate off any wall. The Chromoluxe sublimation technique means that the image is embossed into the slimline metal sheet that has a hanging frame on the back so that it sits out from the wall -by a couple of inches. This means that your rare edition print will seem to “float” just in from of the wall.
