Hello Everyone!

I wasn't going to do a sale for the holidays (I'll share why in a minute), but since I'd already started making gifty things earlier this year, I decided that maybe I did want to.  It's fun making art that could possibly become gifts all wrapped up in pretty paper and bows.

Just in case you haven't heard me say it before,
LuminAngel is the Etsy shop for my studio. That is where I'll be hosting the sale. (Click here to visit the shop.) When you place an order at LuminAngel, the money from that sale goes directly to helping me create more art and maintain my studio space and practice.  I appreciate every order.  It means the world to me that you like what I do enough to bring it into your life.  That's one of the things I love about art.  It endures.  Once you buy it, it's always yours.

So this year I have new Mini-prints in Laser-cut frames!  (Click here & here for photos)
Each one has a small print of my drawing "Dragon House" set into a hand-painted, laser-cut, Fleur-de-lis patterned frame.  Making each one different and one-of-a-kind. Some are glittery! And some are not. 
I love glitter myself, but selectively.

I also have another prototype in the shop, Cat "Lover's Eye".  Which is a humorous twist on traditional 'Lover's Eye' miniature paintings.  (Click here to see photos of my Cat's Eye)
(and here for info on traditional Lover's Eye paintings)

Also, many of the originals included in the sale are generously discounted!  So this is a great chance to get one of my original paintings or drawings at an exceptional price!  And as always, I have lots of gorgeous prints.  I hope you'll find something you’re really happy to share with your loved ones, or maybe little something special for yourself. Plus I have brand new drawings I've done on a whim of things that make me happy. (Click here for example)

I’d also like to take a moment to thank you for spending this time with me. You've all been so wonderful, encouraging, helpful and all around awesome & supportive no matter what I’m getting into.  I wish you all the very best! Thank you, thank you, thank you.  Happy Holidays!

Sincerely,
~Angel Hawari

Oh yeah!  I almost forgot.  The reason I 'almost didn't' do this sale is because I've been putting nose to grindstone (since about mid-October) creating art for shows at a new local gallery! I think they must like me because they keep inviting me back ;)  It's been a lot of  fun doing big group shows with other dreamily-talented artists I admire. You can check out The Abstracted gallery here.
Haha! Yes, I'm really happy about this.  There are a limited number of places you can show the kind of art that draws directly from the root of your soul as an artist, and this is one of them.  And they throw the most kick a** show opening parties, too. *Double Swoon*

Have a lovely night everyone.  Til next time.

Hello everyone! I just wanted let you know I'm in  three shows with The Abstracted before the end of the year! *Maze Wayz benefit show
*Gods & Monsters 5
*Sinister & Cotton Candy!!Hope you can come by and check out  some or all of the shows coming up @ The Abstracted. They throw one heck of a party!For more info go to

I have a bit of brand-spanking, sparkly-shiny news! 
I will have art at the Abstracted Gallery in MPLS later this month!  Woo!

I'll be showing several new pieces. Including one I'm especially dying to share with you all, but I can't.  It's a secret.  The photo to the left is a detail shot, but if you want to see it in it's entirety you'll have to come see the show. 

"Luck of the Draw: An Illustration Compilation"
@ The Abstracted
Show opens: Saturday, June 22nd from  6:00pm- Midnight
1618 Central Ave NE suite #110 MPLS, MN.

   The Abstracted is one beautiful exhibit space that's drawing in some of the most talented, skilled & inspired artists in the Twin Cities.  I'm excited- and only a little nervous- about the prospect of sharing gallery space with some of MN's finest. And as an added bonus the two gentlemen, Joel Coleman & Jesse Golfis, who run the gallery are genuinely warm, kind people.  They made me feel right at home in their space and I'm really looking forward to showing some of my best new work with them!

Many of the artists in Luck of the Draw- except for the lovely and talented Ms. Amina Harper- I only know by reputation, but I'm looking forward to meeting some of them & maybe picking their brains a bit. 

If you'd like to see the entire list of participating artists, click here to visit the Facebook Event page.

I do hope you'll come out and join me for this one.  It promises to be a good time, and I can't wait to show you some of my most recent work & see what the other artists are bringing!  Come find me and say hi!

Best Wishes ~ Angel Hawari

The first batch of Limited Edition Snail Eater prints came in Friday, and they are absolutely gorgeous! But I knew they would be.  I use a local fine art print shop here in MPLS for all of my larger prints.  And they do such great work that I keep going back to them.

Numbers #1/20 & #2/20 have already found new homes, and I'll be shipping them out very soon.  There are still 18 more to go.  You can find the listing & buy one for yourself if you go to the 'Shop' page here where you'll also find many of the other prints I have available right now directly through the studio.

Also, I'd like to extend a heartfelt 'Thank You' to everyone who's ordered Snail Eater prints.  It means a lot to me that you like what I do enough to help support it.  I hope your new artwork brings you much joy!  Your prints should be arriving soon.  I shipped out all current orders this morning! Keep an eye on the mail ;)

Thank you!
~Angel

Sugar Gliders are adorable little creatures! This one is clinging to my stiped vines representing the incongruent nature of our perceptions, and the globes represent our purest aspirations as self-aware creatures.

This print is of a drawing I did in 2012 that is already sold. The image size is 12" x 12" with a generous white border.

I've gotten a good bit of positive feedback about this one, and thought it was time to add him to my print catalog.

Thanks to everyone who's already brought this little guy home!
