First of all, before I forget...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! May 2011 be fabulous and exciting for each and every one of you :)
Now, down to business ha ha! I have a few brand new ACEO originals up for auction on eBay this week: "Elephant"- part of my Circus and Side Show series...starts at a $5 bid, you can see more info at the auction link below the picture:

I am trying to list a few new pieces a week on eBay, so if you are ever curious, you can go HERE to see all my latest auctions!
Now...I have a whole slew of BRAND NEW cross stitch patterns available through Misty Dreamz. I am working with Tamara, the owner, to get a lot of new art up on her newly revamped site! She is just a wonderful woman with a giant heart, and I know she treats each one of her customers like royalty, so...if you are into cross stitching, you should check out her site! There are a BUNCH of wonderful artists there, and all sorts of patterns to choose from! Below is the link to all my patterns:

And one more merch-type thing before I get to my ramblings...I had ordered myself a sterling silver necklace from Zazzle when they were on sale over the holidays...I have recently received said necklace in the mail, and OMG I LOVE IT!! It features a never before seen Ralphie painting :) and is a quality piece of jewelry. The pendant is heavy, and a little bigger than I had envisioned it to be when I ordered it, and it feels wonderful to wear. Very comforting. Here's a pic of my new Ralphie necklace:
and, of course, the link to purchase your very own Emily art necklace: Sterling Silver Art Necklaces
Okay...I know I mentioned a sneak peek at my latest project...so here it is:
And, I am going to be a horrible wench right now and not explain it at all heh heh heh! But...soon, I will have the start of it up in full view, with explanations and such ;)
So, yes, I am slowly getting work done. Art is being made, and Emily is attempting to resume her usual lifestyle and schedule after the holidays. I have plans to get back to working on my dragon zodiac series, a few new jesters, and a bajillion other things that I may or may not get to in the near future...Yep. Things are getting back to where they should be LOL! Anyhoo...stay safe and don't so anything I wouldn't do...
xo!

Merry Holidays from Emily Grinch!
So...I've been stressing and working and stressing, but it is pretty much over now...I think...except for the working part, which will never, ever end LOL! I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a safe and fabulous holiday!!
Unfortunately, I do not have any new finished art to share, that is how busy I have been! But, if you are interested in checking out what I am currently (and very slowly) working on, there are work in progress photos in my Facebook album HERE! Hopefully I will have something to show for myself very soon.
So, the game plan for the next few weeks is basically this- I am taking a pseudo-break. I need it. Bad. I will be listing originals and prints on eBay, and both my etsy shops will remain open. I will be here to ship out orders and answer emails, and will probably do a fair amount of Facebooking (because I am an addict LOL!)...However, I cannot promise any consistency with blog posts or new etsy listings for a bit. I will, of course, still be making art; I have plans to get some writing done as well. I need to get my Circus & Side Show book stuff in order and quit slacking! Not to mention the poor, neglected, and probably slightly angry "secret project"...
Please have a safe and happy holiday for me, and big cyber hugs to all of you!
xo!

Helloz!
Just a short post before my work week takes over, and I get too busy and tired to be online much :\ I have a brand new raven painting (!!!) as well as a new fantasy ACEO!
The new raven painting is part of the ongoing series, of course, and being the 18th addition, it is titled simply "Raven 18". I like this one, it has a very masculine, edgy, dark feel to it...This is the ORIGINAL painting (7" x 5" on a sheet of artist canvas), available through my darklingemily etsy shop at the link below the picture:
"Raven 18" original painting
Another new original- this is just a little ACEO illustration. "Bathtime" is a brightly colored, fun piece, featuring an octopus mermaid, a tiny cuttlefish, a bathtub, and bubblegum pink water! This original 3.5" x 2.5" illustration is listed for auction on eBay, with a $5 starting bid...You can see all the info and make your bid at the link below the picture:
"Bathtime" original mermaid octopus fantasy illustration
I've put up a bunch of new necklaces in my Zazzle shop- some of the new ones are from my older mixed media fantasy pieces! Mermaids, fairies, pretty little things, you know. And right now, until December 20th, if you use the code NEWPRODSZAZZ at checkout, my necklaces are just $9.95 plus shipping! The necklaces are beautiful sterling silver, in your choice of circle or square, and each necklace comes with a chain and a gift pouch!

So, I've been redunculously busy, sleep deprived, usually cold, and probably a little undernourished lately. Is it over yet? Have I mentioned how much of a Grinch I am?...Does this look infected to you? LOL! Seriously, though, I might be a little bit quiet for awhile. I have to get my brain all sorted out, because I have some rather involved projects coming up, and I want to be able to give them the focus they deserve. :)
xo!

Well, it *finally* snowed...
In other news, I have art to share. Wow, what a shocker LOL! A brand new original dragon + nymph ACEO, some ACEO prints, some larger bear prints, and a reminder about my latest FB exclusive auction. Probably some rambling, too...
But first, the newest original ACEO! This piece is part of my dragon + nymph series- "Spells and Stories" is the title. It features a pale fairy nymph and a small dragon reading a very big book! The original 3.5" x 2.5" illustration is created in acrylic paints and inks on bristol- up for a $5 starting bid on eBay! See the link below the picture to make a bid:

Well, now they are available as 5" x 5" open edition prints through my darklingemily etsy shop for $10 apiece! You can see/purchase them individually at the links below the pictures:

Alice in Wonderland handmade goodies Collection FB exclusive auction
So, as of today I am all finished making holiday gifts, and I just have a few things to pick up and I am totally finished! woo hoo! But of course, now I am a little bit lost as to what I should work on as far as art goes. I have about 10 *really exciting* ideas, and I kind of want to start them all at once LOL! Unfortunately, I am not cool enough, nor do I have enough appendages, to do that, so I will have to ponder a little longer. I do know that I will be very busy this winter, for sure! Well, once I get my head on straight, that is...;)

Hi Hi!
I know it's been about a week since my last post- now that the holidays are upon us, I have been even more busy than usual! Getting all my gifts ready. Whew! I think I am making good progress though.

Anyway...I have some new art to share- a new fairy ACEO, a raven painting eBay auction, a fairy zombie t shirt, and more!

So...yeah. I dunno. I've been busy. I'm tired and I effed up my shoulder something awful. But, I did get a lot of catching up done, and all, or most, of my recent commission works are all completed and ready to go to their new homes, so I am feeling pretty good about that. Wow...my life is so exciting. Hahahahaha! I thin I'm gonna go to bed.
xo!
