This one is from around November last year but I didn't get the chance to share it until now. My boss commissioned me to do some of her son's koi for his birthday. The Yamabuki Ogon is Blaze, and from what I’m told she dominates the favorites chart in his pond. Dragon is the Karasugoi and is one of two from what I understand (sure wish I could see them in person!!). I wasn’t given the names of the Hi Utsuri or the Sanke. He apparently has a soft spot for sanke and showa koi so I was sure to include one.
And this one I did for my aunt for the holidays. Her dog passed away due to a tumor just before his birthday - which was Christmas Eve. So it was kind of like a double whammy for her in that sense. He would have been 12. His name was Orion, so I wanted to play that up in the piece.
