This is my first digital Ukiyo-e style drawing. Ukiyo-e is an old form of Japanese art from the 17th to 19th century. Ukiyo-e translates to English as "pictures of the floating world" and typically depicts aspects of everyday life. Having lived in Seattle my whole life this is a view that holds a lot of memories for me– From spending many years at Bumbershoot, Folklife Festival, hanging out with friends, or just stopping by for a little while on my way to trivia night.
In Japanese culture cherry blossoms represent the beauty of life and its fragility. Much like the short life of the cherry blossom, Seattle's perfect sunny days of the non-rain season don't last nearly long enough.
On a mission to spread love and harmony throughout the universe, this furry little gal takes a moment to think about home on a clear and magical night. She'll always be there to be a light in the darkness.
