A close portrait, painted loose and messy on purpose. The witch has sea-green hair cut to her jaw, heavy turquoise shadow around wide eyes, warm orange lips and a wire-thin choker knotted at her throat. Her hat is battered black felt studded with gold rivets, a bone-white skull fixed at the crown above a gold band. Pressed against her cheek is a black cat with round amber eyes and a small gold charm hanging from its collar. All of it sits on a cracked cream ground flecked with ink spatter, like an old painted wall.
The cracked plaster, the ink spatter and the felt of the hat are all printed onto a smooth panel, so the surface stays flat under a hand. Pre-drilled holes handle the hanging.
That distressed background suits a studio, a tattoo-shop wall, or a gallery cluster beside other painted pieces. Pick it for the friend who dyes her hair every season and keeps the cat on her lap while she works.
Material: aluminium sign, fade-resistant for indoor or covered outdoor use
Sizes: 8x8 inches (20x20cm)
Care: wipe clean with a dry cloth
Note: the design is printed flat onto the panel; the depth you see is in the artwork
The Black Cat leads the design as an archetype of mystery, independence and familiar lore. Other gothic or seasonal details build atmosphere around that central character.
