Tiger in a Teacup

Ethan drew this one as a premade, which means the design existed before anyone claimed it and the collector picked it off the flash. It's a tiger cub folded into a teacup with its paws hooked over the rim, and Ethan put a paw print on the side of the cup where a maker's mark would sit. He kept the cub's face and front paws the sharpest thing in the piece and let the saucer fall away into soft grey, so a design that is mostly curved white porcelain still has somewhere definite to look. The booking had it going on the shoulder blade and it ended up on the inner bicep. One session, finished in March 2026. By Ethan Hideo.
