Inspiration: Jose Guadalupe Posada, Mexican Calveras Printmaker
. Posted by Sherrie Thai of ShaireProductions.com
Jose Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913) was an extraordinary Mexican printmaker known mainly for his calaveras (skull/skeleton) pieces. He created a wide range of subjects, making his artwork accessible to the masses through the print medium. Posada infused culture and politics into his works, influencing many others such as Diego Rivera.

Artwork: Steampunk Floral Skull
. Posted by Sherrie Thai of ShaireProductions.com
This piece is a combination of strength and femininity/beauty. The flowers sprout out of the skull as if was a vase, while the electronic elements are inspired by the steampunk style.
Steampunk Floral Skull can be found in the inspiring Tomate de Arbol, Issue 7 arts publication from Argentina. I'm on Page 36 :)

Featured Interview: Shaire Productions Store on SF Etsy Blog
. Posted by Sherrie Thai of ShaireProductions.com
Many thanks to the SF Etsy team for featuring my Etsy store on their blog. Here's the interview:
Colorful, modern, geometric, organic, vintage, and maybe a little creepy. This jack-of-all-trades graphic designer has cultivated a beautiful shop compiled of prints, reliefs, jewelry, note cards, and oddities - all created by her! Not only can you grab a super cool pendant, but you can also pick up a gorgeous relief print and, in doing so, help out the Red Cross Japanese Disaster Fund!
1. What is your shop name and URL?
Shaire Productions
http://www.etsy.com/shop/shaireproductions
2. To which Etsy Teams do you belong?
SF Etsy (yay!), Etsy Dark Team, Artist Aid, Etsians for Disaster Relief, SF-Something Completely Different
3. Please tell us about the items in your Etsy shop. What do you make? How did you learn your craft? What is involved in your creative process?
My products are very diverse, as I constantly have my hands in different mediums—illustration art prints, photo prints and jewelry. I’m always thinking, researching or working on a new project. Everything always starts out as a sketch, and it develops from there.
4. Tell us two (or more) other interesting things about you.
I’m a graphic designer by day, an illustrator by night, and in-between, you’ll find me with a camera and sketchbook in hand. Dark chocolate and music are my vice. On the weekends, I enjoy mini adventures, playing tourist and getting inspired by the amazing culture around the SF Bay Area.
5. What inspires your creations?
So many things—mythology, nature, pop and ethnic cultures, music, film, politics, tattooing, art styles (Art Nouveau, Gothic, Renaissance)
6. What crafting skill(s) do you wish you had or hope to learn someday?
I’m interested in learning and developing leather art pieces. Hopefully, with more research and experimentation, you’ll see some new leather products on the Etsy store.
7. If money were no object for just one day, what would you do?
I’d invite all my loved ones for a mini-vacation to a warm, scenic locale. Arrive by air, take a short boat ride and end the day with plenty of good food, dancing and smiles.
8. Tell us about your first sale ever.
On Etsy: It was a handmade Day of the Dead Skull illustrative card with a black ribbon and orange interior.
My first art sale ever was when I was 15, a pastel drawing of a mermaid.
9. Give us some insight on how you personally, or your shop, gives back to your community.
Inspired by other Etsians and teams, I’ve set up a “Charity” section on my Etsy store, where 50% of art and 100% of jewelry in this section is donated to the Red Cross. Currently, I’m aiding in the Japan Disaster Aid, but in the future, I hope to expand to other causes with specially-created items. Although it’s not much monetarily, I think that when everyone works together, there can be a positive impact.
10. Where else can we find out more about you and/or your creations?

11. Is there anything else you’d like to tell us about your shop or your work?
Art is simply my life’s passion. Etsy is a means to pursue my fine arts and I’m grateful for that. The creativity in the Etsy community is very inspiring and welcoming. It seems there’s always something for everyone.

New Photo Prints Section for Shaire Productions Etsy Store
. Posted by Sherrie Thai of ShaireProductions.com
Photography started out as a source of gaining inspiration for my artwork, but over the years, I've become very passionate about it as another creative outlet and form of art. With a camera constantly by my side, my photo album of 20,000+ images is growing at a steady pace. Etsy is a great outlet to share and thus, the Photo Print section is born :)

Artwork: Abstract Paintings
. Posted by Sherrie Thai of ShaireProductions.com
These images were experimental projects resulting from left-over paint materials of another piece. I never like wasting anything, so I dug into the paints with my hands--literally--finished the paints and created these abstract pieces. The scratch-like marks were done with fingernails :)

Inspiration: Ghee Happy
. Posted by Sherrie Thai of ShaireProductions.com
Sanjay Patel is the artist behind Ghee Happy, a delightful brand that celebrates Indian mythology, icons and culture through vector illustrations and brilliant story books such as the The Little Book of Hindu Dieties and Ramayana. As a Pixar artist, his style has a narrative quality and exudes plenty of personality.

Artwork: Tribal Turtles
. Posted by Sherrie Thai of Shaire Productions.
Tribal Turtles is inspired by the tribal art of Hawaii, Polynesia and Borneo. The background pattern is a freeform organic piece, suggesting swirls of water. The top piece is a mixed media artwork. It was initially created by hand, then digitally colored and slightly texturized with one of my abstract photos.
This design is available as an art print, shirt and pendant.
