New Dragon ACEO art and older Mermaid mixed media art


It's raining, so I spent all day painting and cleaning :)

I have two new eBay auctions up- both of them are ACEO originals. This one is a new piece- "Float" is an original acrylic dragon painting (2.5" x 3.5" on canvas). He appears to be floating lazily through a dream- this piece was, in fact, loosely based on a recurring dream I had as a child. To read more, see detail pictures, and even make a bid ( he starts at just 99 cents with free shipping!) visit the link below his picture:

The other auction is an older collage piece of mine- "Sweet Stare" is a small blond-ish mermaid beauty, and she is just staring at you. Many feathers, hand made papers, paints, and inks in this little work of art make it very special and magical :) She is also up for a 99 cent starting bid with free shipping. To see details and make a bid, please follow the link below her picture:

So, been working on finishing up the final custom painting from my recent giveaway. It is a Wonderland themed piece, featuring the Cheshire Cat offering Alice some growth-inducing cookies! There are work in progress photos up on my Facebook Fanpage here if you are interested in viewing the process and the painting so far :).


Also getting a new sexy jester piece going- this one has cherries! And some smaller paintings and ACEOs :) I will be posting those later on in the week, so stay tuned!

New Cartoon Aquarium Octopus, fantasy collage ACEOs, and Digital Tag info!


Oh, weekend, I love you...

In this post, there is a new Cartoon Aquarium octopus, some older ACEO fantasy collage pieces, and a very exciting bit of news for those of you who are into digital tags :)


Firstly, I would like to introduce to you the newest member of my Cartoon Aquarium- "Octavio" is an original 11" x 14" x 1" acrylic painting on gallery wrapped canvas; he fades from orange to yellow starting at his head. :) To read the little blurb I wrote for him, and perhaps even adopt him into your home, please visit the link to the listing in my zombietoes etsy shop below his picture:




"Octavio" the octopus original painting


Next, I have been doing some spring cleaning, and have dug up some older ACEOs in my collage style- so, I have listed a few of them for auction, starting at just 99 cents each, with free shipping! To see the individual auction listings, just follow the links below the pictures:




"Curiosity" mermaid mixed media ACEO




"Nightshade" dark fairy and peacock mixed media ACEO


There are a bunch more pieces up for auction this weekend; to see all of them in one place, just click here!


And, very cool news on the digital tag front- I have just begun licensing some of my images through MyTagArt! The official release date for my images/tubes is April 2- there will be Cartoon Aquarium images/tubes, some dragons and assorted fantasy images, and even some jesters here and there! I am not a digital tagger myself, as I prefer to paint (wink wink) but I must say, the folks at MyTagArt are super wonderful, warm, and helpful people, and I am very pleased and honored to have my art on their site.

So, that is all for this evening- I am getting psyched up for Wrestlemania tomorrow, and am looking forward to watching the Hall of Fame Induction here in a few minutes, so...I'm out. Enjoy your weekend!

Smokestack Dragon art and Rabbit ACEO fiber art book


Whew...

So, I have been up to my eyeballs busy this week- lots of custom pieces and weird last minute sewing projects, meetings, and a little spring cleaning and gardening here and there; I am pretty much worn out!

But, I do have some new pieces to share! The first is another little fiber art book, very similar to the bluebird book, but with rabbits! I like the color scheme in this one- grey and white rabbits, and red, black, and white accents. There are four original mini rabbit paintings, each 2" square, sewn into the raw canvas pages. The inside covers are playing cards (diamonds and spades) and there is a hand painted rabbit patch on the front cover. To see a whole slew of pictures and perhaps even adopt this little book into your home, please follow the link below the picture to my etsy listing:




Little Rabbit fiber art book


Also new tonight is an original dragon ACEO painting- this one is titled "Smokestack"- a smoke breathing dragon sitting on a cloud! He is up for auction on eBay with a $5 starting bid, and free shipping! To see his listing and make a bid, please check out the link below the picture:




"Smokestack" dragon original painting ACEO


So, I specifically mentioned spring cleaning because I have a bit of a backstock of art, and very limited space, so I will be listing quite a few auctions on eBay in the next week or so; to encourage bidding, I will be starting everything at just 99 cents- lucky me that new fee structures for sellers start soon! I've got some exciting news on the forefront for all of you who enjoy digital tag art, but that will have to wait until my next post ;)

Rose Petal Draon ACEO and Blue Bird fiber art book


Hi Hi!

So, I have finally found some time to post a blog! Yay! This weekend was crazy busy, and also the weather was super beautiful, so I was outside for most of it :)


I've got just two new pieces to share tonight- one dragon and one really nifty fiber art book...


This fiber art book is an amalgamation of a bunch of supplies I sis not want to throw out- but I swear to you it is not garbage! I had a bunch of two inch squares of primed canvas- trimmings from larger sheets that were so smoothly gessoed that I just couldn't get rid of them...So, I painted a bunch of two inch paintings instead! This book is in a bluebird theme- four original cartoon bluebird paintings are hand sewn onto raw pieces of canvas; I've also added a hand painted bluebird patch for the front cover, and a chipboard skeleton key on the back...
This piece is ACEO sized (2.5" x 3.5")...embarrassingly "shabby chic" in style *shudder shudder* but still beautiful. To see loads of pictures and perhaps even adopt it into your home, please follow the link below the picture:




"Bluebird Fiber Art Book"


Also new tonight is another dragon ACEO original- "Rose Petal" is a little pink dragon (hence the name)...I do not normally work in pink, as it is not one of my favorite colors, but...I thought "what the hey"...So, to make up for the girly color, I gave him a crabby look, heh heh. He is up on eBay for a $5.00 starting bid, and free shipping- to see the listing details and perhaps make a bid, please follow the link below the picture:




"Rose Petal" dragon fantasy ACEO

There is a lot more of my dragon art at reasonable prices on eBay this week- to see them all, just click here!


I am still slowly working on my latest Cartoon Aquarium piece- an octopus, he's weird and cute. Tomorrow looks like it's packed from dawn til dusk with running around, so I don't know when I'll get to finish him...I think it's going to be a long and ridiculously busy week. I'm getting a little tired just thinking about it :)...I better get to bed early tonight.

xo!

"Inkling 3- Pedestal" original dragon painting


Also, a new dragon ACEO! "Glint" is an original painting (3.5" x 2.5") of a glow bug dragon creature in a strange landscape...I really like the contrast in this piece. He is up for auction on eBay, starting at just $5 (with free shipping of course)! To see the listing details and perhaps make a bid, please follow the link below the picture:




"Glint" big eye dragon ACEO


That's it for tonight- I have been so busy, and it is looking like the art forecast for this weekend will be even busier! So, I am sorry, no rambling tonight, I must get to sketching some new pieces out! Happy Friday all!

Ladybug Dragons, Dragon Hugs, and Art Giveaway reminder!


Spring!
I've got two new dragon paintings to share with you all! Plus, a reminder about my Facebook exclusive art giveaway!

Dragons first, though. :) "Ladybug Dragons" is a new original painting- I really like this one; it is sometimes difficult for me to work in red, without having it become too overwhelming in the overall piece, but I think this painting came out well :) It features two little black dragons, but instead of dragon wings, these two beasties have ladybug wings! They are hanging out in a woven patch of sunny flowers, chatting away. This is an 8" x 10" acrylic painting (on a canvas panel) and it is available for purchase in my darklingemily etsy shop. To see the listing, please follow the link below the picture:




"Ladybug Dragons" original fantasy painting


The other new dragon painting is an ACEO (2.5" x 3.5")- it is titled "Hugs and Warmth"- one big dragon reassuringly pats a smaller dragon on the head, and hugs her close to keep her warm. It's adorable :) This original ACEO painting is listed in auction format on eBay, with a $5.00 starting bid and free shipping! You can view the listing and perhaps even make a bid at the link below the picture:




"Hugs and Warmth" original dragon ACEO


Lastly, a reminder that my Facebook exclusive Custom Art Giveaway Contest is still up and running (until tomorrow- Wednesday, 3/17, at midnight)...All you have to do is come on over, become a fan if you are not already, and make a comment on the Contest note! The link to the note (details are there) is below:

Short and sweet tonight! I am about to get back to my desk- I'm currently working on "Inkling #3" and a handful of 2" square paintings for a little mixed media book...

It is a dragon painting, titled "Brick" as he is brick colored (one of my very favorite colors!). He has a bit of a "look" about him, as if he may be flying off to cause some trouble (pretty typical dragon behavior as far as I'm concerned). "Brick" is an original acrylic painting, 2.5" x 3.5" on canvas. He is up for a $5 starting bid, with free shipping!

Squee the Seahorse and Brand New Dragon Paintings!


Hi!

I have a whole bunch of new paintings tonight- most of them are dragons, though there is one new Cartoon Aquarium piece as well!

I will begin with the "odd man out"- my latest Cartoon Aquarium painting :) This is "Squee"- he is a red seahorse, super silly, and ready for a new home! To read his little blurb and see detail pictures, please follow the link below the picture:




"Squee" Cartoon Aquarium Seahorse painting


Now, on to the dragons! I have begun a sub-series of dragons in strange, otherworldy landscapes. I am calling this series "Inklings"- each background is painted before I have any inkling of which Emily dragon will have the best personality to suit it. You can look forward to lots of drips, splatters, layers, and abstractedness from this series! Allow me to unveil the first in the series- "Inkling 1- Falling Sky". This is an original 5" x 7" acrylic painting on a sheet of canvas. It is listed for purchase in my darklingemily etsy shop. To read the little story I've written for this painting and see detail pictures, please follow the link below the picture:




"Inkling 1- Falling Sky" original dragon painting


These next two dragons are both ACEOs- I listed them the other night, so some of you may have seen them already ;)...The first is "Hunter"- a tiny flying dragon, gracefully silhouetted against a blue purple sky. This is an original acrylic painting on canvas, in ACEO format (2.5" x 3.5"). Listed at a $5 starting bid, with free shipping too- you can see more details of the art and auction at the link below the picture:

The other new ACEO I have up on eBay is a cutie! A little green dragon with big, wide eyes...very adorable. His name is "Moss", and he is an original acrylic painting on canvas. Also up with a $5 starting bid and free shipping! Check out the link below the picture:




"Moss" original big eye dragon ACEO auction


By the end of this week, I should have some new art up in my website galleries, and also some more art to share :) At the moment, I am trying to decide on whether to watch a movie, or go back to my desk and get some more painting done...Decisions, decisions.

Little Blue Bird Paintings and black Dragon Art


EEE! I seem to have finally come out of my slump- of course, it's only been 4 days or so, but i t was the longest 4 days I've had in quite some time...I basically did a bunch of spring cleaning, paper work, sketching, and a little moping here and there- read part of a book, watched some movies...Though there is always a ton of stuff I can find to fill my day, I never feel right when I can't make art...But I do know enough to not try to force it out, I just have to let the creative cycle do its thing.

At any rate, I have three brand new, original ACEOs up for auction tonight! I thought I'd start off small (size wise) and work into some bigger pieces...The new ACEOs are up on eBay, each with a starting bid of just $5 (and free shipping on all!). Again, these are ALL original paintings, done in acrylics on ACEO sized (2.5" x 3.5") pieces of canvas. You can find the links to each auction under their respective pictures, or to see them all on one page, click here! In no particular order, they are:




"Blue Bird 1" original cartoon ACEO




"Blue Bird 2" original cartoon ACEO




"Grey Day" original dragon ACEO


I do have a few more, but decided not to list those at the moment...did not want it to get overwhelming! Seeing as there's not much to ramble about tonight, I suppose I will be headed back to my desk to get a bit more painting done...

xo!

New Zombie Silhouette painting, posters, and Dragon original art auction!


I had a rather bland day today- mostly paperwork and stuff, with a bit of brainstorming and sketching along the way- very boring. But, I do have a rather exciting new zombie painting to show off!!


These are the latest flesh eating monsters! This painting is one of my favorites- it kinda freaks me out. I call it "Private Party"- it is a 14" x 11" acrylic painting on a sheet of canvas- it will need a frame. To see details and perhaps even own the original, please follow the link below the picture:




"Private Party" original zombie painting


Also new in zombie art news- prints and posters of my "A Bad Approach" zombie farm house attack painting are now available through my zazzle shop:




"A Bad Approach" zombie art posters and prints on Zazzle

If you should happen to be interested in owning the original painting, it is here in my zombietoes shop.


Now, on to something a bit less frightening: the original "Water Dragon" painting is now up for auction on eBay! This piece is part of my dragon mini series on the elements. It also happens to be one of my personal favorites. "Water Dragon" is an original 8" x 10" acrylic painting (on a canvas panel). It is up with a starting bid of $35, and shipping is free! To see the listing and make your bid, please follow the link below the picture:





"Water Dragon" original fantasy painting auction


Now, I am gonna get all ambitious and try to make some cookies. I really want them, but I dont want to make them, but I can't have them if I dont make them...It's a vicious cycle that really makes one weigh the importance of junkfood vs laziness.

NEW- Rainbow and Candle dragon Paintings!


Good Evening!

This post won't be too long- I am super tired and ready to settle in for the night. Before I do that, I have two new dragon paintings to share!


The first new painting is titled simply "Rainbow", and features eight dragons! One in six colors of the rainbow (I left out indigo...) and two white ones! Again, this is an original acrylic painting, 12" x 9.75" on a sheet of canvas. It is up in my darklingemily etsy shop, if you would like to see detail pictures and such:




"Rainbow" original dragon painting


Also new in my darklingemily shop is a smaller original painting. "Candle Light" measures 5" x 7" (acrylic on canvas panel)- the flame of this candle is actually a tiny dragon! To see the detail pictures, please follow the link below the picture:




"Candle Light" original dragon painting


That's all for now. Please accept my sleepy apologies about being so unentertaining. I've been painting my butt off; later this week I will have more cool art to share!
