    About Me:
    I'm Carrie Hawks and I'm a full time self-representing artist. I call myself a "cat artist" but many actually most of the cats that I paint have a fantasy theme. So it's more like "fantasy cat artist".

    I sell my artwork through my website, Tigerpixie Art Studio, www.tigerpixie.com, on eBay (User Id: Tigerpixie) and also on Etsy ( Seller Id: Tigerpixie ).I also paint custom commission portraits. I live in Florida with my wonderful husband, son & daughter. We have three beautiful cats that were all strays. They are my babies & models for many of my paintings. You can see pixs of them on my website here...
    My Cats.

    Well that's the short & sweet version! :) Thank you for looking and I hope that you enjoy my artwork!

    New Book! Big Eye Art: Resurrected and Transformed
    By Blonde Blythe ( Toni Boozer ) with forward written by Jasmine Becket-Griffith. Distributed worldwide by Merrell Publishers, April 2008. This wonderful book features 8 of my paintings and a page written by me about how the big eyed art masters of the past influence and inspire my artwork today. I have received my first copy and it is just gorgeous!! I am so impressed with this book and all of the amazing artists in it and thrilled that I was invited to be a part of it :)

    Big Eye Art: Resurrected and Transformed is available for purchase (currently priced at only $19.77) on Amazon.com click here

    "In the late 1950's, and throughout the 1960's and into the 70's, such artists as Margaret keane, Gig and Maio created a new kind of mass-produced art known as "big-eye." Now big-eye art has undergone a major revival, but with a twist: the wide-eyed endearing waifs of the earlier movement have transformed into fairies, mermaids, demons and myriad otherworldly beings, including the famous "Blythe doll." This extraordinary book showcases the dazzling works of 22 of today's most significant big-eye artists, offering an insight into a fantastical, sometimes bizarre, metaphysical world."

    Sorry I haven't been around much. I have got soooo much stuff going on here at home. We are in the middle of some house updating and getting our floors redone. It is a lot of work but will be so nice when it is all done :)

    New LE Canvas Prints! Ceramic Art Tiles, Bookmarks

    Friday, April 4, 2008, 01:46 PM CST [New Items]

    Happy Spring! I've got a big update today... New items! LE Canvas Prints, Licensed Ceramic Art Tiles & New Mini Bookmarks.

    First, I am very, very happy to share with you my Limited Edition Canvas Giclee Prints (Hand-Embellished Signed & Numbered, Gallery Wrapped Canvas). These really are the next best thing to owning the original painting and are very affordably priced!...

    They are full color professional quality Limited Edition, 8" x 10" and 11" x 14" Gallery Wrapped Glossy Giclee Canvas Print with Hand-painted Embellishments! Highly collectable Limited Editions! Only 75 of each painting will ever be made! They are truly One Of A Kind! Since each canvas is hand-embellished, no two will be identical! They really look just like the original painting! No frame is needed! The canvas has a hanger and is ready to display.

    How I create each canvas print; It is a 3 day process to complete one of these canvas prints. The image is printed with my professional quality giclee printer on a sheet of prepared artist's canvas. Then I add hand paint details of the image with acrylic paint and hand sign and number the print. The canvas print is then hand coated and set with a UV protectant giclee varnish shield giving it a glossy finish just like the original painting. Last, the canvas is stretched onto 3/4" stretch bars with staple-free sides that are black. The back of the canvas has a sawtooth hanger and is ready to display and is also signed by me, including the title date and edition number. I would also be happy to personalize the back of the canvas at your request. Note: Edition Number, Signature & brushstrokes will vary since these are hand embellished. 

    I am trying out listing the very first ( # 01 of 75 ) canvas print of each painting as an Auction on eBay. I have started these four canvas prints listed below at 1/2 off the regular price!

    Bela Vampire Cat #1 Limited Edition Giclee Canvas Print

    Astra Celestial Moon Cat #1 Limited Edition Giclee Canvas Print

    Atlantean Mercat #1 Limited Edition Giclee Canvas Print

    MegaCon :) // LE Canvas Prints Coming Soon!

    Monday, March 17, 2008, 04:10 PM CST [General]

    MegaCon was lots of fun! My table was right next to Alex. So that was really cool :D I was very nervous about having to talk to people but It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be at all. I kind of slipped right back into "waitress-ing mode" you know with lots of small talk. If I had a dollar for every time someone was walking by my booth and said "OMG Kitties!" and came over too look, I would be sooooo rich LOL! Thank you to everyone that stopped by my table. It was so nice to meet everyone and hear all the wonderful kitty stories too!

    I have some pixs of my table set up and a few friends Alex (Alexandria Sandlin, http://www.mourningmoon.com/ ), Deanna, (Deanna Davoli, http://www.ambient-arts.com ) Jasmine ( Jasmine Becket-Griffith, http://www.strangeling.com ) & me too........

     My table....


    I had 8x10 Prints, 5x7 Matted Prints, 4x6 Prints, Cameo Necklaces, Bookmarks, Postcards, Magnets, Buttons, Coloring Page Sets and I finally have Limited Edition Canvas Prints! I stretched them on bars and they were hanging on the panels behind me. Everyone thought they were the original paintings! They really do look just like the originals :D

    Deanna, Alex, Jasmine and Me in Jasmine's Booth.....

    *I will be working on adding the LE Canvas Prints to my website and eBay store over the next few weeks. I will be listing the #1 of each image as an auction on eBay ;)

    Got your e-mail. Eb and flow. Tide comes and goes. Me, I'm just riding a wave right now.

    Carrie, life is so interesting isn't it? The manifestation of the burning desire, when we are able to get out of our own way. But what's really a trip, is even when we ARE in the way of ourselves, it still manifests. Just slower. But it doesn't stop. Like the ocean. When the tide moves out, the sand stays moist and although the water is not there the way one would think, the sand is filled with life and there is so much happening. The water is there in different form. And without realizing it, the tides again moves back in and feeds the life it creates. Eb and flow. Manifestation.

    Big hugs my Carrie girl. You are a ROCK STAR!! Don't ever forget it.

    Hello Carrie, thank you for being part of the EF community, it's good to have some fantasy feline company too! We love Captain Leo, but please may we know what the mouse is called... Keep having fun with your art - by the way, do you have to pay your muses, or should I say meowses (yikes, that's a pun even my old dad would be proud of!!)
