This collection of prints entitled Kitsune-Gao– Kitsune-gao or fox-faced, refers to human females who have a narrow face with close-set eyes, thin eyebrows, and high cheekbones– originates from a visionary dream of mine; in a forest, I was having a conversation with a fox with large and dark eyes but the communication was happening psychically. This seemed to have an importance to me and sparked an interest in foxes from that point on. Tying together portraits of the shaman and witch characters from “Aliens and Gods”, a graphic novel project in the works, you see the fox spirit merge with the witch character through her breasts, as she is sleeping. This is believed to be one way that kitsunes assume human form. -- source link
