Alphonse Mucha’s Byzantine Head – The Blonde by Rabbit With Mask/Shae Syu
The Koala recently pointed me to a Chinese artist named Shae Syu whose portfolio titled Rabbit With Mask recently met a cult following on the web.
Shae is an artist from Taiwan who draws and paints amazing rabbit related pieces.

I caught up with Shae over the summer to ask her some pressing questions.
Who is your favourite artist?
Beatrix Potter.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s Little Irene by Rabbit With Mask/Shae Syu
What inspires your work?
I like the creativity of “The Tale of Peter Rabbit”. Beatrix Potter has made the rabbit very interesting and real, making the reader feel warm and happy, also her style is very unique and there is a lot for me to learn from her.

What is your creative process?
I mainly draw bunnies. My creative ideas usually come suddenly, I have pens and paper ready, to start with drawing bunnies: ears, eyes, mouth….later comes the complete drawing. Or I could be looking at bunny photos, and imagine bunny actions, their costumes and background.

Love, love the Genie bunny picture. 🙂 I am amazed how many styles Shae can turn her talented hand to.
Wow, I LOVE Shae’s pictures! Especially the Hook one and The Scream. And Little Fish is TOO CUTE!
When I saw Shae’s work, I thought no way does this lady draw this many bunnies without a muse. My hunch was right. Little Fish is a great muse 🙂
Ahahaha I love Alphonse Mucha and the bunny rendition (of all the different works you have here) are super adorbs!
