A small (literally) personal piece I completed between book projects at the end of 2018—but only now am I getting around to posting it. I’ve been muddling with the design of this character for years now, and every time I level up my art skills I like to have another crack at her. I’m pretty …
A set of five little (3.5″x5″) pieces for the 2018 World Fantasy Artshow that I completed earlier this month! First up, the WITCHY KITTIES! This is Ursula. She could be named after Ursula K. Le Guin, but she’s also got a chicken in the back of her cauldron and that seems reminiscent of Ursula Vernon. …
I’ve been saying for years that I would eventually add Pluto to my Planet Horse series, and last month I finally pushed it forward and finished it! Pluto my not be an official planet anymore, but he will always be a planet in my heart. However, in a nod to his current scientific status as …
A quick gander through my online gallery shows a shocking absence! The original cover art for Professor Odd Episode 8: “Chronostrophe“! Colored pencils on 12″x9″ bristol board, 2016. I went through a number of concepts before settling on this one. It makes visual reference to a number of things from the story, and as such makes …
I got back from BLFC itching to paint something cute and colorful so of course more Strange Owls came out. These are some Saw-whet owlets in (l-r) a Moss Cadet hat, a Hazy Shade pixie hat, and a Sunflower Petal hat by Chronographia von Strange Hours. Photo reference from Kathy and Sam on Flickr. Prints and …
Two watercolor commissions, one recent, one… not so recent. This was a take-home order from AnthroCon 2016, which I had to put on hold for a couple of months while I moved to Bend. I was doing a lot of yoga in defense of my sanity, and the affirmation of eagle pose (Amidst life’s storms, I stand …
Righto, so it’s been a very busy, happy summer in a stressful sort of way. Conventions, moving, a friend’s wedding, more conventions (MOVING) so naturally I’ve been painting more cute owls in strange hats. These darlings are modeling the Yellow-grey pixie, flotsam shell, and Fiddler’s Green fiddlehead hats! Both the originals will be up for …
The short of it is I was bogged down in long-term projects and one morning I woke up and realized what I needed to do was paint an owl wearing one of Chronographia’s marvelous hats. So I did. This was the result: It made me so happy that I did another one the next day. …
Hunter and Hound 2016 by Goldeen Ogawa, watercolor on paper This is a somewhat cheeky piece of work. You see, it could be a depiction of Arawn, King of Annwm, (or possibly Gwyn; the distinction between them being so fuzzy), with one of his red-eared Yeth Hounds… …or it could be Sirius, the Dogstar, incarnate in a …
Colored pencils • prints and merch here! • buy the book here! Cover art for Professor Odd Episode 7: The Dogs of Canary Island. Now that the book is out, I can finally share the original cover art! This was done largely over the course of January/February 2015, all in colored pencils, as I do with …
