Strangeling - Art of Jasmine Becket-Griffith

Margaret divorced him, moved to Hawaii, became a Jehovah's Witness, and won the rights to all her paintings. Her later paintings still have big eyes but are so much happier.

Fine art by Margaret Keane is available as greeting cards, double matted cards, posters and refrigerator magnets at Keen Look.

Jasmine Becket-Griffith is a freelance American artist, born in 1979, who lives in Florida with her husband and several cats. She loves animals (yes, she has those three cats and paints them as well as lots of other animals), reading (fantasy of course among a variety of other genres), and would you believe she actually has big eyes!  

Jasmine paints with acrylic on wood or canvas, and paints all the time. The only time she is not painting is when she is attending conventions and shows. So she has quite a large portfolio!

Her husband and other family members help with the business of selling her art, and her designs appear on several brands. Her Big Eye art is certainly popular.   

But really it wasn't the big eye girls, or fairies like Owlyn, that sold me on Jasmine's art. It was the dragonlings!

Now, as a fan of dragons I'm always looking at dragons in art (not so many in everyday life you know), and when I found these adorable dragonlings I was truly sold. 

The dragonlings are really cute, little, baby dragons, often held in the arms of a big eye fairy whose wings and coloring usually bear a striking resemblance to their little dragonling.

Strangelings are not just found as works of art on canvases and posters, or even just reproduced in books. They can be found in many other forms.

There are figurines available through the Bradford Exchange and Hamilton Collection; and there are products like mugs, mousepads, cases and sleeves for electronics, and much more on Zazzle.
