Since I had my Copic air brush system up and running, I decided to start on my Halloween cards. Halloween is my very favorite holiday card making season. Not that I send out any, but I like making them. Maybe this year will be the year I get them mailed. Of course the way the post office is going, I may miss the boat again. It's hard to see in the photo but the ghost's eyes are shining silver. Memory Box stamp (basic masking) and Copic airbrushing. Vintage Quickutz ghost die that I airbrushed light blue.
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
