The Mythic, Tarot & Fairy Tale musings of Lisa Hunt

View from the Studio, birds in the backyard. The majestic beauty of the Great Blue Heron.

| July 1, 2011

I am very lucky to have a lake view from my studio window where I can watch birds frolic, fish and fly. Ducks, pelicans, cranes, egrets, grackles, chickadees, crows, mockingbirds, hawks, vultures, loons, cormorants and a host of other species provide me with a show of flapping wings and glorious calls…

Spring cleaning: From Hungry Ghosts to Hummingbirds

| April 19, 2011

That is how I would best describe things here in Hunt-Kramerland right now. As I proof my Ghosts manuscript and check all the art scans (special thanks to the ever-patient Paula and Lynn at USG), I’m looking ahead to my next project focusing on birds. But before taking the next project plunge…

Sketching and painting my fine feathered friends for “new project”

| March 25, 2011

After the intensity that accompanied the Ghosts and Spirits Tarot work, my new project provides the perfect calm that I now need to refill my creative well. Birds have always been supporting and sometimes leading subjects in my work…

Creativity, critters, chaos and the boogie woogie

| February 10, 2011

2011 is turning into the year of the unexpected. Instead of fearing the chaos of what seems like truncated routines, I’m learning how to accept the unexpected and to be flexible. Part of this has entailed taking on projects and creating images that I never thought I’d do: new subject matter, new methods, bold creative assertions and a sense of the spontaneous along the way.

What I’m up to: Christmas Carol, Kobolds & Hearing the Tooth Fairy.

| December 6, 2010

Mermaid with Coral Creatures: what do you think of when you hear the word home?

| October 3, 2010

After sketching, noodling, doodling and asking friends and fans for their input, I settled on painting a mermaid to exemplify the word “home”.

Art Blocks for Ghana

| September 25, 2010

A few months ago, my friend and fellow artist Rachel Tiep-Daniels asked me to participate in a fundraiser called “Art Blocks for Ghana”. Rachel, who has spent the past decade as a visual developer/3D artist for DreamWorks and Blue Sky Productions (Ice Age, Kung Fu Panda, Monster’s vs. Aliens) always finds time to give back to the world by helping raise money for children in need. You can read more about Rachel’s work at the Picture Book Project Foundation…

Dream Ghosts, Pain & Shakespeare

| September 17, 2010

The Ghost of Banquo came to me in a dream. I saw him with vacant eyes and a wise aura. I saw stillness and movement all at once and it dominated my unconscious. It was as though The Ghost of Banquo was trying to tell me something—a prescient figure with an important message…

Battlefield Ghosts: Documenting raw, unfiltered creative energy

| August 30, 2010

Here’s the second drawing in what is becoming a series of time-lapse photography experiments. Drawing Battlefield Ghosts was 25% preplanned, 75% spontaneous creative outpouring. As I worked on this drawing…
