Happy Chameleon
What It Is
Happy Chameleon
Pen and ink, acrylic paint on canvas
Why I Created It
This sweet chameleon dude was created as an art therapy project asking us to create art that represented a happy moment in our lives. My thoughts immediately turned to soothing serenity I felt on a yoga retreat in Tulum, Mexico, where a bigfat chameleon hung out in the corner of the studio hut watching our yoga sessions.
The interior of the chameleon features small, detailed drawings of my path to happiness throughout life, with birth starting at the guys tail and current state ending at his nose.

In addition to making you smile every time you glance at it, your own personal Happy Chameleon can contain a rundown on the happiest moments in your life.

Fulton Street Fish Market Painting: Skeleton Fish Art
Fresh fish may taste better but fish skeletons look better in a hot pink painting.
This cheery pink school of skeletal fish was inspired by once being stuck beneath a smelly overpass near New York City’s Fulton Street. While the real-life scene included blood, guts and other debris, the rynski rendition is crisp, clean and devoid of any foul odors.
Makes a great conversation piece for any kitchen or an ornate addition to any office or bedroom. Customize the design with your favorite colors or skeletal creatures.
Stretched canvas on wood frame measures 30 wide x 24 high.
