Happy Weekend everyone!

I've got two new original ACEOs to share with you tonight, a slew of ACEO prints, info on my latest Facebook exclusive auction, and a reminder about my zombietoes shop sale...


My back is giving me a bit of trouble tonight, so I will just get right to this so I can go sit down...The first new ACEO original is a pseudo- Halloween themed piece, though I had not really planned it to be :) It is titled simply "Vampire and Dragon"- again, this is an original 3.5" x 2.5" illustration. It is up for auction on ebay, starting at just $5! To see all the info and details, just click on the link below the picture:

And, the other new ACEO is the next piece in my Circus & Side Show series! "Tightrope" is a young-ish girl tightrope walker, all decked out in her costume, and up on the high wire! This is an original 2.5" x 3.5" illustration, and is also up for auction on eBay, with a starting bit of $5! The link below the picture will take you to the auction listing:

I am having so much fun with this series, and am still working on writing out little stories and such for each picture...for a book...eventually...was hoping to get it done by, um, *now* ish, but so far, I am only about half way...;)


So...anyhoo...I also have a handful of new 99 cent ACEO prints up for auction- these are open edition prints of previous works...to see all the new ones, and the listing links, visit the link below the picture:

Circus & Side Show Giant, Dragon + Nymph ACEOs, and lots of ramblings :)


Good evening all!

So...I pretty much did eff-all this week. Okay, that is not true, but as far as art goes, I didn't make a whole heck of a lot. Been getting the gardens ready for winter, potting plants for indoors, working, filling orders, and trying not to fall asleep too early...Most nights I don't succeed at that last one.

I had a blast at the zombie pub crawl :) Got wasted and met a lot of zombies! I will have some pictures soon(ish) to share...But, seriously, this is why I don't go out all that often- because I have waaay too much fun, then it takes me two days or so to get back all my energy and bearings. So...I don't think I will be going out for Halloween. I will be working and then working some more.


I do have a few new pieces to share tonight- new ACEOs! The first is another Circus & Side Show piece- yes, they are still going strong! This one is "The Giant"- a big, goofy guy stands next to a regular, serious-looking fellow...This is an original illustration, ACEO sized at 2.5" x 3.5"...To see more, and perhaps even make a bid, just check out the link below the picture:




"The Giant" original circus & side show art


Also, two new dragon + Nymph ACEOs! "Dream of Blue" features a blue dragon and a pretty blond nymph...An original ACEO, up for auction on eBay with a $5 starting bid...To see more pictures, details, and to bid, just visit the link below the picture:




"Dream of Blue" dragon + nymph art


The other new dragon + nymph ACEO is titled "Midnight Monster", and features a beautiful white haired nymph and a small black dragon...off in the distance, a winged heart flies away...This is also an original illustration, and also up for auction with a starting bid of $5. To see more, just click the link below the picture:




"Midnight Monster" original dragon fantasy ACEO


I want to remind you all that the Half Off Sale is still going on in my zombietoes etsy shop until October 31! Everything is 50% off- prints, original art, Ralphies, Little Books of Zombie Limericks, EVERYTHING! Before I start to ramble mindlessly, let me show you the way to the sale:

Half Off Sale at zombietoes!!


As I had stated at the beginning of this post, I feel like I have done very little this week in the way of art. I have just been so low on energy. It does not help that the long days of summer are gone, and it is all cold and dark early now. I am getting my Mondays back soon, so I will have an extra day in the studio every week. Thank goodness! I have a ton of things to keep me busy here ;)

xo!

Lots of zombies, Halloween Dragon ACEO, public appearance, and some more zombies!


Okay...so...October is being pretty good to me so far, and for that I am thankful! Busy and a little overtired most days, but still, life is good.

Not a TON of art tonight, however most of it is Halloween/monster/zombie themed, so...'tis the season ;} I have a brand new dragon + nymph ACEO (halloween!), a few ghoulish new creations in my zombietoes etsy shop, information about a public appearance (yes! ME! IN PUBLIC! AHHH!!!), and more...read on, my friends, read on...


I will begin with the brand new original ACEO- "Halloween Night" is the latest in my Dragon + Nymph ACEO series...Halloween is upon us, do you have your costume ready? This original 2.5" x 3,5" fantasy illustration is up for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of only $5! To see more details and pictures, and perhaps even place a bid, just click on the link below the picture:




"Halloween Night" original dragon + nymph fantasy art


Also on eBay, a handful of ACEO prints- all of which start at 99 cents! To see them all, just visit the link below the picture:




ACEO Print auctions and more!


Now...There is a lot of zombie news below, so if you are not a fan of the zombies, I suggest you look away...


Alrighty then...First on the zombie menu, some art (yay)! I have listed some new grossness in my zombietoes etsy shop...A one of a kind, hand sculpted Deathbox, complete with two little zombie magnets inside! This Deathbox is the second one I've ever made. They are pseudo- necronomiconesque, with the stretched faces, real stitching, and subtle painted accents...totally disgusting. I love them! So, this one is available at the link below the picture, and it happens to be half price for my sale this month!




Deathbox with two zombie magnets- on SALE!


The other new piece of zombie art I have listed is an original 8" x 10 painting, titled "Zombie Love". This is in my stark silhouette style, with an abstract background. I painted this piece awhile back, but there was something about it...wasn;t sure what, for the longest time...Now I know what it was. But I'm not telling. Anyway, it's listed now, and it's also half price for my sale....visit the link below for more info and perhaps even to add it to your collection:




"Zombie Love" original silhouette painting


Now, onto other zombie news...I am very happy to announce that "The Little Book of Zombie Limericks" is now available on Amazon.com!! It is the same price as on lulu.com and everywhere else, nothing fancy about it, just another venue for inquiring eyes. You know...At any rate, here's the link:

"The Little Book of Zombie Limericks" on Amazon.com

And should you prefer the lulu link, it is here:

"The Little Book of Zombie Limericks" on lulu.com


And, now, for the finale of zombie news...I will be out and about in zombie get-up this Saturday (10/23) for the Northampton Zombie Pub Crawl!! W00T! I will be laden with free zombie goodies to pass out to the undead masses...If you are interested in going, all the information is on the Facebook Page below the flyer picture:




Northampton Zombie Pub Crawl Facebook Page and Info

I have no idea how long I will be out for, or what time exactly, or if you would even recognize me if you saw me...I have a pretty good idea of what I want my makeup to look like (it's pretty minimal, like a recently turned zombie...some veins and dark eyes, maybe a gash or two...I dunno)...But, yes, if you come out and you find me, I will give you zombie presents!


That's a lot of zombie. Dang. Well, thanks for putting up with all that, and I hope you don't despise me for it. I've got to go have a brownie and get some relaxing done!

xo!

Lobster Boy circus art, Ralphie cartoon bird sculpture, website updates, and zombie excitement!


Happy weekend all!

So, I have been kind of slacking off this week...Well, at least with posting new art and such. Been busy with other things, aka real life LOL! But I do have a few new pieces to share tonight- another original circus ACEO, a Ralphie sculpture, and even some zombie magnets! Yes, it is a strange art post, not much fantasy this round, I fear...


Okay, first, the newest Circus & Side Show ACEO- "Lobster Boy"! Yes, this is one of the weirder side show specimens, but there is something vaguely charming about him...perhaps it is his sandy blond hair. At any rate, this original 2.5" x 3.5" illustration is up for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of just $5! To see more info, pictures, and perhaps place a bid, just visit the link below his picture:




"Lobster Boy" original Circus & Side Show ACEO art


Next up, RALPHIE!!! EEEE!!! *ahem* sorry, I just get so happy whenever I see him! I even made myself a Ralphie magnet to keep at work to make me smile ;) This is a new sort of Ralphie bird, a small polymer clay sculpture. He's blue, and about 2.25" tall, and super adorable! Also, he is only $5, as he is listed in my zombietoes etsy shop and everything is still 50% off until the end of this month! Below is a picture of this sweet, and slightly dorky, little sculpture, and below that is a link to his listing:




"Ralphie" mini 3D cartoon bird sculpture


***ZOMBIE INTERMISSION***


I have made up some magnets in my Zazzle Shop, featuring my "Rotten B*tch" zombie illustration. Assorted sizes and shapes are available...check out the link below the picture for more info:




Zombie Girl magnets


***END ZOMBIE INTERMISSION***


Oh, yes, now would be a good time to mention that I have updated my website galleries with new images/posters/prints! Also, new updates on the homepage!!

darklingtreasures.com


So...I have some pretty awesome plans in the works for next weekend...They are not fully formed as of yet, but it has to do with zombies and possibly ingesting a wee bit of the ol' alcohols...I will keep y'all posted on that. ;) For now, I must go and make further plans, get some things organized, and perhaps get some sketching done. But I will probably just fall asleep in my chair in front of the TV like a lame arse.

xo!

Dremon 3 original fantasy pin up painting, Curious Creature dragon ACEO illustration, and a few reminders...


Hi Hi!

My official compilation book of "The Little Book of Zombie Limericks" is still 15% off until October 15th!!! Just use the code FALLREAD305 at checkout...the book link is HERE!

Of course, I am still holding the Half Off birthday sale in my zombietoes etsy shop- 50% off EVERYTHING!! Until the end of October!

One last reminder...I am currently holding a FB exclusive auction for my original "Dreamy Dragon" painting- bidding starts at $0! To see pictures, read more details, and perhaps even place a bid, please visit the photo on my FB art page HERE!


Yes, just a short post tonight. I spent a solid 5 hours on a commission today, from start to finish, and I am kinda worn out and want to veg out in front of the tv and not think. Earlier today I was thinking about going through some of my supplies and selling some things as destash through my etsy shop, but I will have to go through them before I even know what I can part with. I think I will be getting myself deep into one of my larger projects soon, and I am preparing for that by making a whole bunch of ACEOs to have on hand for listing. Trying to get as downsized, prepared, and organized with things to do before winter really hits, and I am left scrambling, lost, and trapped in my studio....Which is really not the worst place to be. ;) But, now, I am off to relax! Have a good night!

xo!

Hoo!

I do love my job(s), but, man am I exhausted! It just hit me now...that's what I get for sitting down!

Ticket Booth carnival art, Dragon + Princess ACEO, EBSQ Featured Blogger, + something something....


Good evening, lovelies...

I have two new original ACEOs to share tonight, and another feature! Not a lot of bulk tonight, as I am almost finished with the painting of "Dremon 3" and want to get her finished up and myself into bed at a reasonable hour...(someone was running a little late this morning, didn't have time for her morning coffee, and was a little behind the ball all day...)


The first new ACEO is the next original illustration in my Circus & Side Show series! I love this one so much..."Ticket Booth" is a little 3.5" x 2.5" illustration, up for auction on eBay with a starting bid of just $5!

Now, some exciting news! I was chosen to be one of EBSQ "Bloggers of the Week", and the interview is up on their blog HERE if you would like to read it :)


So...now I pretty much have nothing to say. I am distracted by the thought of a cup of hot chocolate and finishing up this painting...I do so want to ramble on and on at you tonight, but I fear I have nothing but fluff in my head. So, I will go do what I do best...Futz around at my desk!

xo!
