Lucky Pillows
Description: This piece was both referenced and inspired by my lucky cat or in Japanese, maneki neko, collection. I have around 40 scattered throughout my home. Having a lucky cat at home is suppose to bring good fortune and money. Lucky cats mean different things depending on the colour and if it's the right paw or the left paw raise as well as the colour and items they are holding. I find these cute cats lovely to have in the home. For good feng shui, I am told that you need to place them near where you make money and visible to an open door to invite good fortune. Bunnies are hidden throughout the piece. Inked and drawn traditionally and digitally colored and edited in Photoshop.
Description: Before there was a mouse, there was a rabbit, and his name was Oswald. Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was created in 1927 by Ub Iwerks for WDC. This familiar-looking rabbit was a precursor to the anthropomorphic rodent that would become known worldwide, but had the distributor of Oswald's earliest cartoons not surreptitiously claimed the rights to the character, guests at the most magical place on earth would be welcomed by a rabbit and not a mouse...
Description: Lucky Lager is an American lager with U.S. brewing and distribution rights held by the Pabst Brewing Company, and Canadian brand ownership held by Labatt Brewing, which is now part of AB InBev. Originally launched in 1934 by the San Francisco-based General Brewing Company, Lucky Lager grew to be one of the prominent beers of the West during the 1950s and 1960s. In 2019, Pabst announced that the beer brand would be revived and would be brewed by 21st Amendment Brewery, a brewery based in San Leandro.
