Sea Turtle Art auctions for charity, Art Giveaway Contest, New Bookmarks, + more!


Hello!

Well, I've got some art up for auction (of course!), plus some new bookmarks, and info on my latest Facebook Exclusive Art Giveaway contest!


Very first, I have TWO new art auctions up on eBay today- both of these pieces are originals, and each has a sea turtle theme :) Also, both are donation auctions, with a percentage of each sale price going to the Gulf Restoration Network...This organization helps to restore and protect the beauty and wildlife of the Gulf of Mexico!

So, the auctions are as follows- I have a brand new mermaid ACEO- "Turtle Stories"- a tiny sea turtle and a blue-skinned mermaid are telling stories...This is an ORIGINAL illustration, 3.5" x 2.5" in inks and acrylic paints, up for auction with a starting bid of $5. To see more details, and make a bid to help me donate to this worthy (and important) cause, just visit the link below the picture:

**A quick side note- I have opted to raise my starting bid from 99 cents to $5 for original ACEOs, though I will be having many ACEO print auctions soon that will start at 99 cents ;)


The other donation auction is my ORIGINAL painting of "Jon"- the punk rock sea turtle from my Cartoon Aquarium series! "Jon" is painted in acrylics, on a 10" x 8" x 1" gallery wrapped canvas. He is ready to hang on a wall, no frame needed! Up on eBay, with a starting bid of $35, his auction listing is at the link below his picture:

So...What else is new...? I've put up some new dragon bookmarks in my darklingemily etsy shop...These are printed from my dragon paintings, in full color, and each one has a colored ribbon tassel. To see them all, check out the link below the picture:

I am really roasting in this humidity, and it's rather difficult to think straight. My hair is a mess, there is sweat in my eye, and no amount of cold showers and swimming in the pond is going to make it okay for me to not have AC...I try to make myself feel better by telling myself that I am doing a bit of good by not having one, but the true fact is that I am cheap and would rather suffer than pay the extra $ on my electric bill. So, I just wish for a lot of rain instead, and try to think about other things.

xo!
