I'm Shirley, a Black/Korean woman who makes really cool art.

It's Juneteenth, and Black people still have yet to receive reparations. But here are some of the ways you can financially support me today! ✨💖

Goddess of the Wolves Totem 🐺✨
My piece for the upcoming Giant Robot Store - Totoro Show celebrating all things Ghibli!

My piece will be available 11/29 at 11am PT on their site here:
www.giantrobot.com/collections/...

(She does have very minor damage to her mouth shown here)

A ceramic sculpture of a large white wolf with two tails. This is Moro, the Goddess of the Wolves from the film, Princess Mononoke. She is barring her teeth, holding a handmade red tassel with a fortune coin tied to it, and she also has a handmade replica of San's necklace. This closeup shows the wound/damage to her face. it's a very small amount of chipping as though she's had some teeth removed. But she still has the power to bite.

Festive Flash paintings and ornaments up for grabs. DM to claim.

I don't have enough ornaments this year to do a proper sale of them so these are most likely the only ones I'll have.

Price includes US shipping
Two paintings of mushrooms and two mushroom ornaments

Carnotaur Totem 🦖✨

This friend will be available in my next shop update coming this Friday at 9am PT! 👀👀

Link for bookmarking: shop.lioninthetrees.com

#art #pottery #sciart
A large ceramic sculpture of a Carnotaur (think T-Rex but has horns coming out of their head over their eyes) done with black underglaze. This piece features sgraffito markings and my signature California Poppies crawling up it's sides and back. Also noting that the dinosaur looks rather happy. A photo of the back of the piece to show more of the Poppies curving up and around the back. The flower and it's stem have been coloured in using orange and green underglazes.

Throwback to these tigers I made back in August for Giant Robot's Odd Folk & Fables show! 🐯✨🖤

The bigger one has sold but the mini-me is available via Giant Robot here:

#art #pottery #SciArt
A large ceramic black sgraffito tiger sculpture that features a large California Poppy motif crawling up the side of it’s body. The pose of the piece is as though the tiger is elegantly stalking towards something (or someone). There is also an adorable miniature version of the larger sculpture pictured alongside it as though it’s a tigress and her cub.

Angry Plankton Meme - It's a screen shot taken from the Spongebob Squarepants series where the character, Plankton, is seen hunched over, clenched fists, veins all over his body straining, sweat dripping from his forehead, teeth gritted and has bloodshot eyes as though he's angry or straining. Note: Plankton is like...imagine a pickle the size of your thumb with two antenna on top of it, arms and legs, a strong unibrow and one eye.

Jackalope Totem 🐇✨🦌✨

This piece was an experiment to try out not just a new flower motif (Prairie Fire), but a new way of playing with colour!
I also wanted an excuse to sculpt a big jackalope as well 😛

SOLD

A large ceramic black sgraffito jackalope sculpture featuring a beautiful green and red plant that is the Prairie Fire—a plant that resembles a fire-y red paintbrush.

My car's at the shop right now, and it makes me sad whenever I go into the garage and it's not there. House feels oddly empty without it.
