Mitzi
is a Colorado-based fantasy artist.
Originally from Japan, her art is influenced by the vintage shojo manga
she grew up with, as well as the classic art forms such as tattoo art and
woodblock prints of her native country.
Her fantasy art subjects range from cute and whimsical to dark and
macabre, and everything in between.
Majority of her Aurora Wings digital stamps are made from the line art
of her fantasy illustrations, giving them a uniquely distinct look of flowing
lines with high level of detail. Most
are ink & pen traditional drawings, which are either colored free-hand in
Corel Painter or traditionally with watercolor.
Her Etsy shop, Aurora Wings, offers digital stamps, prints, ACEOs,
coloring books, and originals.
Prize - $15 worth of digital stamps of the winners choice.
