Greetings, yokai fans!
It’s April now, but here is March’s final yokai. I ended up getting bogged down in the line work, as I often do, because it had so many fun little details that I wanted to add. But the final turned out alright, I think.
More on April’s yokai coming soon…

Greetings yokai fans! Today I introduce you to donotsura, a weird a wonderful yokai from the same picture scroll that brought us shiro ukari. It’s a short writeup, but it’s got an interesting origin nonetheless! I hope you enjoy it!

Greetings yokai fans!
Tonight I bring you the last yokai of January, the icicle woman tsurara onna!
She really is a cool yokai, and I had a lot of fun painting on her. I based her appearance on the “fairies” of Suzuki Harunobu, so if you’re a fan of his woodblock prints maybe you will recognize a bit of influence in this one.
Patreon tells me that it will start charging everyone soon, so be on the lookout for that. If you’re getting a postcard, double check your address to make sure it is up to date! If you are getting a print and have any preference over which one you get, now’s the time to let me know! Otherwise, I will surprise you with on I think you’ll like. 🙂
Next month we’ll have two very cool yokai suggested by you guys, and I will be working on getting the tag cloud fleshed out and up and running, to make sure it is useful to everyone.
Enjoy tonight’s yokai, and stay warm!

Greeting yokai lovers!
I hope you are all weathering the storm. Right now my American home is under over a foot of snow, and my Japanese home is under 3 feet of snow, so everyone in my family is buried in it! But that makes it a good day to sit in with a hot cup of tea and paint all day long. Today’s yokai is perfect for this weather.
Oh, and we just surpassed the $350 mark, which was the first goal for this Patreon! Hoorah! That means I will be working on adding a searchable tag cloud to the site. It shouldn’t take terribly long, but I will have to write the page, as well as double check all of the tags on each yokai to make sure I haven’t missed any important tags. I’ll post again when that is all finished, but it is something to look forward to in the future! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy today’s yokai!
