I was working overtime for the entire summer and autumn, almost every evening and Saturday between early June and early November. I would like to note my appreciation for my wife Michelle, who gave birth to our second son and cared for my home and family during the most intense period of artistic productivity in my entire career. <br><br> I have placed many drawings, prints and cards on sale through the end of the year; the prices will return to normal after January 1st. Please also note that I am recalculating my rates for commissioned artwork, and will probably raise them January 1st. Any commissions received before then will be priced at the current rates; a down payment of half secures the project's place in my queue. <br><br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kind Regards, <br><br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Daniel Mitsui <br><br> P.S. The prices quoted in this newsletter do not include shipping costs or sales tax for residents of Illinois. <br><br> P.P.S. If you have received this newsletter by mistake, or if you would like to unsubscribe, please reply to this e-mail with a note to remove your address from the list. </span> <br><br><hr><br><br> <span class="style2">NEWLY COMPLETED PROJECT: <br>ILLUSTRATIONS for <i>VOX CLARA</i> PONTIFICAL</span> <br><br> <span class="style3"> Earlier this year, I was contacted by the Executive Secretary of the Vox Clara Committee, a Vatican committee of senior bishops from episcopal conferences throughout the English-speaking world that advises the Holy See on English-language liturgy. The Committee will publish in 2012 an interim edition of the <i>Roman Pontifical</i>, including new translations of certain texts drawn from the revised <i>Roman Missal</i>. <br><br> I was commissioned to create a series of five color illustrations for this Pontifical, depicting the Crucifixion, the Last Supper, the Presentation in the Temple, the Descent of the Holy Ghost and Christ the High Priest. The central images are surrounded by appropriate symbols and Old Testament prefigurements, and the corner scenes depict liturgical rites contained in the Pontifical. <br><br> The drawings were realized in colored inks on Bristol board, in a style heavily influenced by 15th century panel paintings, tapestries, manuscripts and incunabula. Black and white versions of two of these illustrations were also produced. <br><br> <center><a href="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/artwork/big/religious/pontifical_bw1.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/artwork/big/religious/small_pontifical_bw1.jpg" alt="PONTIFICAL 1"></a></center> <br><br> <center><a href="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/artwork/big/religious/pontifical_color1a.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/artwork/big/religious/small_pontifical_color1a.jpg" alt="PONTIFICAL 2"></a></center> <br><br> <center><a href="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/artwork/big/religious/pontifical_bw2.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/artwork/big/religious/small_pontifical_bw2.jpg" alt="PONTIFICAL 3"></a></center> <br><br> <center><a href="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/artwork/big/religious/pontifical_color2a.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/artwork/big/religious/small_pontifical_color2a.jpg" alt="PONTIFICAL 4"></a></center> <br><br> <center><a href="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/artwork/big/religious/pontifical_color3a.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/artwork/big/religious/small_pontifical_color3a.jpg" alt="PONTIFICAL 5"></a></center> <br><br> <center><a href="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/artwork/big/religious/pontifical_color4a.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/artwork/big/religious/small_pontifical_color4a.jpg" alt="PONTIFICAL 6"></a></center> <br><br> <center><a href="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/artwork/big/religious/pontifical_color5a.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/artwork/big/religious/small_pontifical_color5a.jpg" alt="PONTIFICAL 7"></a></center> <br><br> I plan to issue gicl&eacute;e prints of the five color drawings some time next year, and a letterpress print of the black and white Crucifixion. When I prepare the prints, I will replace the scenes that are specific to the Pontifical with other scenes or symbols. </span> <br><br><hr><br><br> <span class="style2">NEWLY COMPLETED DRAWING and PRINT: <br>TONSURE of ST. PETER</span> <br><br> <span class="style3"> This drawing depicts an event described in the <i>Golden Legend</i>, in which the pagans of Antioch mocked St. Peter by forcibly shaving the top of his head. Followers of St. Peter shaved their heads in imitation, turning a mark of shame into a mark of honor and originating the tradition of clerical tonsure. Surrounding this central scene are several events associated with tonsure in mediaeval exegetical texts: St. Paul cutting off his hair at Cenchrea; Ezekiel shearing, dividing, burning, chopping and scattering his hair to prophecy the destruction of Jerusalem; and Christ wearing the Crown of Thorns. <br><br>This drawing was commissioned to commemorate the tonsuring of a class of seminarians of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter this past October. A signed, framed gicl&eacute;e print of the drawing was gifted from the class to Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz, who celebrated the ceremony. <br><br> <center><a href="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/artwork/big/religious/tonsure_petera.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/artwork/big/religious/small_tonsure_petera.jpg" alt="TONSURE 1"></a></center> <br><br> The drawing was done on goatskin. I scanned it at two stages; the above scan was made to prepare gicl&eacute;e prints. These prints are available for sale for $80 each. Each is signed and measures 8" x 12". Prints with customized coats of arms can be made for an additional cost. <br><br> The below scan was made after I added gold and palladium leaf to the original. <br><br> <center><a href="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/artwork/big/religious/tonsure_peterb.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/artwork/big/religious/small_tonsure_peterb.jpg" alt="TONSURE 2"></a></center> </span> <br><br><hr><br><br> <span class="style2">NEWLY COMPLETED DRAWING: <br>ANNUNCIATION to the SHEPHERDS</span> <br><br> <span class="style3"> This black ink drawing of the Annunciation to the Shepherds has a decorative border based on 15th century millefleur tapestries.
