“Unico and West Wind” by #LeilaniJoy Updated and finished! It needed that one final touch… and when I added the flower petals I fell in love. This piece was originally for the #UnicornArtShow in Minneapolis, MN. The live show had to be cancelled but we’re taking the show online! Details to come! Email [email protected] to inquire about original purchase and visit www.Etsy.com/shop/LeilaniJoyArt for prints, products, and limited edition canvas reproductions of this piece! Unico is my favorite childhood animation by anime legend, Osamu Tezuka. It’s a story of a baby unicorn that just wants to spread love and joy even though the gods and universe wish to stop him. His beautiful guardian goddess - the West Wind tried to protect him at all costs. This piece took on a special meaning for me in these strange, dark and scary times. Don’t let fear and anger over take you, but stay brave and don’t run away from it. West Wind is overprotective of Unico and forces him to run when challenges and danger arise- but Unico isn’t afraid to face them head on and defeat evil to protect those he loves and to spread his message of joy. Protect your hope, keep fighting. Light will shine again.xoxo Leilani (PS. "Fantastic Adventures of Unico” and the sequel "Unico In the Island of Magic” are streaming now on Amazon Prime Video and Crunchy Roll!) 💗🦄 #OsamuTezuka #TheFantasticAdventuresofUnico #Unico #UnicornAnime #Anime #GoddessArt #UnicornArt #KawaiiArt #PopSurrealism #FantasticAdventuresofUnico #80sAnime #GirlArt #BeautifulBizarre #KawaiiUnicorn #UnicoAnime #ProtectionGoddess #LoveandFriendship #BeautifulGoddess #ArtistsOnInstagram #LeilaniJoyArt #FlowerArt #AcrylicPainting #FantasyArtist #junicorn #girlswhodrawgirls #femaleartist #virginmaryart #animefanart https://www.instagram.com/p/CCWwSrPhlyU/?igshid=1dlnxidkpicb
