桜祭りの絵

I’ve been working on this for a little while now, in my spare time between d20 illustrations and work at the JASGP. This piece was done for the Cherry Blossom Festival, which I’ve been working pretty hard on so hopefully I can do something with this image. I’ve ordered a ton of prints (holy crap I’ve spent a lot of money on this painting!) and I’m planning to sell them throughout the festival. I really hope I can sell most of them at the festival, but I really don’t know. I’ve never done this sort of thing before. So wish me luck!
The image is sort of a parody/homage to one of Hokusai’s woodblock print series, 100 Famous Views of Edo (名所江戸百景). If you do an image search for 隅田川水神の森真崎, you’ll find the print on which I based my painting.
