Lots of you asked for a print of my Mulan pen drawing. You can find it now on Meerkatsu.Redbubble.com or see link in bio.
.
I needed to scan in my biro drawing, clean it up in Photoshop and convert the ink tones into our black. I also added red spot colour to give it a little pop.

Mulan and Phoenix - ballpoint pen art.
I've been practising more ballpoint pen art. This piece is based on photos of the actress @Yifei_cc from the live action version of @Mulan. Check out the timelapse footage on the last photo - the whole thing took around 12 hours spread over three evenings. I'm not finished here, I will scan it in and play around with the tones and maybe add a spot colour and then offer it up as a print.
Thanks to my tutor for this project: @joaquinrodriguezart over on @domestika.

The Heavenly Obi has been one of my best selling products over on Meerkatsu.com
But I'm not sure if I told the true story behind why each belt contains that specific illustration. It is the story of me and my own journey from white to black belt... White Belt - at the beginning of my journey the omoplata was one of the first submissions from guard that I learned yet I found it almost impossible to land successfully in sparring. It frustrated me until after about a year of training one day I landed it beautifully. I was so happy. Coincidentally, the omoplata is also the very first of my 'Heavenly' series of geisha v demon artworks - a series that I am super proud of. Blue Belt - in most gi rule competitions, the wrist lock becomes a legal move for adults and above, hence why I have chosen the Heavenly Wristlock to illustrate this belt. I'm also a big fan of wristlocks anyway but that might be down to my former life practicing Japanese jujitsu. Purple Belt - The Graceful Kimura adorns this belt. I loved kimuras at purple belt as I found that the grip was the perfect platform with which to both control my opponent and work a transition or submission from there. I think that kimura based techniques are such a universal grappling tool - suitable for sport BJJ, MMA, self defence, gi, nogi etc Brown Belt - confession time, prior to brown belt I never used or bothered to study any foot or leg attacks. Maybe the odd straight ankle lock, but I just wasn't interested. Then when my instructor told me I better get wise because at brown belt I would have to deal with toe holds and kneebars I went into a mad obsessive frenzy of learning how to apply them and defend against them. Today of course, leg locks are virtually commonplace from beginner to expert and that's all thanks to the rise of submission grappling events. So that's why the Heavenly Toehold illustrates this belt. Black Belt - when I was promoted to black belt I began to teach a lot more. I even opened up my own club. The more I taught and the more I rolled the more I realised that all the fancy moves I learned before were reliant on the most basic and fundamental of jiujitsu techniques.

TIGER LOTUS - PRINTS AND POSTERS
Following on from yesterday's post about the Tshirts, you can also buy prints of my Tiger Lotus by visiting meerkatsu.redbubble.com or see link in bio. I will donate all profits from these sales again to @samaritanscharity and @papyrus_uk
.
Side note, I draw this tiger using @affinitybyserif #affinitydesigner - my first attempt using this software. It's a really cool vector drawing program that is almost as good as Adobe Illustrator (it lacks a few essential tools ie blending shapes and live trace) but for a one-time fee, as you can see, it can churn out some really neat vector lines, shapes and colours.

TIGER LOTUS T-SHIRT My friends have launched a new website - www.grapplersforlife.com - all profits from the sale of these items will be donated to @Samaritanscharity and @Papyrus_uk
.
The Tiger Lotus artwork I created is available in T-shirt and Hoodie form with a number of base colours to choose from as well as both mens and ladies fit. The printing is done in the UK but the website ships international.
.
The Chinese words at the base of the design come from an old proverb: “If you don’t enter a tiger’s cave, how can you catch a tiger?” 不入虎穴焉得虎子 The saying has the meaning of needing to face ones fear in order to achieve something, and not to have the expectation of gaining something without effort.
Thank you for your support.

I painted these a year ago during lockdown. I haven’t had the chance to wear them, so I’m thinking of selling them. They are a UK size 9, US size 10, Euro size 43. I’ll probably use EBay to auction them as I’ve no idea what to charge for this unique one-off pair of painted shoes. Stay tuned for news later this week.
