Forest in the Sky fantasy painting, ACEO art prints, heads up on a SALE, + a bit of rambling


Greetings all!

Well, I have a brand new painting (okay, it's a few days old) to share with you, and a whole slew of eBay art auctions, as well! Seeing as this post won't be too full of art, though, I will probably ramble for a bit, like the crazy girl that I am...


First, though, allow me to introduce to you my latest painting- "Forest in the Sky" is a very colorful fantasy piece, featuring a little dark haired nymphette, a little bird, and some floating trees! This is a long and thin painting ( 7" x 14"), and it is available through my darklingemily etsy shop at the link below the picture:

Now...I have a *whole bunch* of art listed on eBay this week- a lot of 99 cent ACEO prints, and a few original ACEOs, too! Dragons, fairies, mermaids...lots and lots of goodness! To see everything that is currently up for auction, just check out the link below the picture:




Emily's art on eBay!


Oh, yeah! If you want to see the work in progress photos of the latest painting I am working on- it is part of my "Little Things" series- just check out the album on my Facebook page HERE!


And speaking of Facebook page, may I remind you that I have an exclusive art auction running over there right now- it is for a set of two original, one of a kind mermaid ACEOs- and these are my collage style! To see pictures of the mermaids, and perhaps make a bid, just click on the link below the picture:




Facebook exclusive auction- two mermaid collage ACEOs!

Hurry, though, this auction ends Monday night (January 31st, at 11PM EST)...


So...It is that time of year again! February marks the three year anniversary of opening my darklingemily etsy shop, so of course we need to celebrate! Starting on February 1, all the way through the month, I will be offering a percentage discount on everything in my shop!! I have not decided on the exact amount yet, but as soon as I do I will let you all know! Just wanted to give you all a few days heads up ;) Cuz I loves ya...


RAMBLE! I am in the beginning stages of putting the very first Circus & Side Show book together- for now, it will just be a hand made version. Hopefully I will find some time very soon to get it formatted for a real book version...we will see (as always LOL)! Also, making a little progress here and there on my "Problems" series, which I am in love with (which makes me feel like a big narcissist, but, hey...I'm not. I just dabble). Very soon I will have them up online, with lots of explanations and such. I know, I am such a tease. I swear, though, soon! I want to paint more ravens, and more zombies, too! I need more hands, or a clone I can send to work, or...something! ahhh! LOL!

xo!

Candy Apple Jester pin up, Dragon art auctions, more Ralphies, and work in progress pics!


Well well, we meet again...

So, I am officially *all caught up* on my stuff...well, as caught up as I'll ever be. This has left me feeling like I can finally make whatever I want, whenever I want...It's been awhile :) So, I have a brand new jester! Plus some more Ralphie birds, an auction for an original dragon painting, and work in progress pictures!


First, the newest jester- she is titled simply "Candy Apple"- she is sweet, colorful, and lots of trouble! There are 8" x 10" limited edition art prints of her available through my darklingemily etsy shop, at the link below her picture:




"Candy Apple" jester pin up fantasy art prints


Speaking of jesters...I have a handful of new jester items up in my Zazzle Shop; I've been in a magnet mood lately (just ordered a few for myself)...To see all the new jester stuff, just check out the link below the picture:




Pin Up Jester art- shirts, posters, stickers, magnets, and more!


Now, onto other things...How about a few dragons? I have two new auctions running on eBay, both dragons! The first one is an older painting- "A Little Trouble" is painted in acrylics on a 8" x 6" canvas board. He is up for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of $9.99! To see the listing, and perhaps place a bid, just click on the link below the picture:




"A Little Trouble" original dragon painting


And the other dragon auction is for this brand new original ACEO- "Dragon Research" features a cute little dragon, with eye glasses, reading! So sweet :) This little 2.5" x 3.5" illustration is up for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of only $5! The auction link is below his picture:

Over this past week, I have been integrating more Ralphies into my zombietoes etsy shop...there are a bunch of new colors- yes, even pink and purple, though he begged and pleaded with me not to make him those girlie colors heh heh! You can get your own Ralphie at the link below the picture:




RALPHIES!!! Hee hee hee!!!!


Again, onto other things...I have some work in progress photos up of a painting I recently started...It's been slow going, as I have my hands in everything else (as usual) and can't seem to sit still and just paint. But, if you would like to see what I have been slowly working on, the pictures are in my Facebook album HERE. The newest ones are all the way at the bottom of the page.


Oh, yes! Before I go...the Misty Dreamz cross stitch website has been revamped! This is the website that offers much of my art, and many other wonderful artists' works, as cross stitch patterns! And, it is run by the most awesome woman!! But...the new pegasus banner has been created by...me! I think it looks pretty spiffy, even though I don't draw a lot of horses ;) But, here is the link, should you want to see it:

Now...I have finally managed to get that whole box of Ralphie birds all sewn up, stuffed, and ready for new homes! I have a bunch of new colors, and they are all adorable. Guaranteed to bring a smile to your face! Unless you are a loser. Yep, that is what I said. ANYWAY...all these new, stuffed Ralphies are available through my zombietoes etsy shop...just check out the link below the picture to see them all, and maybe even adopt one:




New handsewn, stuffed, lovable Ralphie birds!

Oh, I should probably also mention that I have lowered the price on the ralphies from $13.50 to $10!

Sooo....making good strides in my new projects- I am working on a new "Little Things" painting...well, she is sketched out, and the canvas is primed, however, that is currently as far as I've gotten...I have a few new "Problems" illustrations working, some writings that I should get to...so many things! I wish so badly that I could work on them all at once. I wish I could split myself up into more Emily's kind of like Dr. Manhattan (from Watchmen) can. A girl can only dream, I guess.

xo!

Gothic Lady ACEO art, Dragon illustration, Soap in the Air painting, ++!


Hi hi!

Well, I just spent my three days off making art like it's going out of style (I dunno, judging by the rate that public schools are cutting art and music classes, maybe it *is* going out of style...) I have some new, original ACEOs to share, along with a new painting, and lots of fun stuff in my Zazzle shop! So...get ready!

Here is the first new ACEO- "Fire and Ice" features a dragon (in cool colors) perched on a bare tree, as the sun sets (or rises?), making the sky all fiery. This is an original 2.5" x 3.5" illustration, and is up for auction on eBay, starting at just $5! To see the auction listing, more info, and perhaps even make a bid, just click on the link below the picture;




"Fire and Ice" original dragon art


The other brand new ACEO that I have up for auction right now is titled "Night Out"- a blue-haired goth girl is going out for a night of fun! This original 2.5" x 3.5" illustration is also up for a $5 starting bid- just check out the link below her picture for all the info, and to bid:




"Night Out" goth girl fashion ACEO art


I do have some other auctions running; if you would like to see them all, just click HERE!


Okay, now, for a new painting! Yay!! It's been awhile since I've had a chance to get anything done on my "Little Things" series, but here is the latest- "Soap in the Air". A pretty blond thing is blowing bubbles at you...The landscape is cheery but strange. This piece is saturated with sickly-sweet candy colors. I love it! She is painted in acrylics on a scalloped wooden plaque; measures approximately 7" x 9" x 1". All the details, more pictures, and how to own this original are in my darklingemily etsy shop at the link below the picture:




"Soap in the Air" original fantasy art painting


Finally, I do have a bunch of new coasters, mugs, postcards, and bags available in my Zazzle Shop! I love Zazzle so much. I know it's dorky, but I do. I want one of everything, with one of every picture on it LOL! So far I am very pleased with all the personal orders I have received from them- from the shipping to the quality of the item, I am very happy. But, enough rambling! Check out all the new (and old!) goodies at the link below the picture:




Em's Zazzle Shop- coasters, postcards, mugs, bags, and tons more!


To continue being the dork that I am, here's a little train of thought: I am typing all of this without really using my right index finger. It's covered in Band-Aids and it feels weird when I type with it. I cut myself on a foil container at work. :( This was right after getting a cardboard cut (cousin to the paper cut, but much more horrid)...It's funny. Of all the things at work that I could really injure myself on, it is those that seem so harmless that always end up maiming me. Perhaps I should be more wary of "those who look like they don't bite" ;)


And with that, I am off to get some things done...or something ;}

xo!

'Dirty' Mermaid art auction, FB exclusive ZOMBIES auction, new ACEO prints, +!


Happy weekend peoplez!

Well, I don't have any *new* art to share, but I do have some new auctions up, so...yanno...:)


Some of you may remember this piece from this summer- "Mermaid Mud Wrestling" is an original 7" x 5" illustration, featuring two mermaids wrestling in the mud! This piece was in my etsy shop for $32, but I thought I'd put it up on eBay (always trying to make more room in this studio LOL!) with a starting bid of just $9.99! To see more pictures, read about the art, and perhaps even make a bid, just visit the link below the picture:




"Mermaid Mud Wrestling" original fantasy art


Also new on eBay is another 4 print ACEO set for a $3 starting bid- this batch is four dragons: Earth Dragon, Shadow, Too Tired to Fly, and Inkling 2. To see the auction and more pictures, just check out the link below the pic:




Dragons! set of 4 ACEO prints


Umm, what else...oh, yes! ZOMBIES!!! AHHHHH! hahahahaha!! Yay! I've put up a collection of zombie goodies for bids on my Facebook art page! All of the info and specifics are at the link below the picture...bidding starts at $0! And there is no reserve! Remember...more at the link below the picture:




Zombie Collection Facebook exclusive auction


Remember how I said I was mostly all caught up? Well, I managed to get myself sidetracked already! Crap! LOL! I've gotten my hands on some new felt colors, so I thought I'd sew up a new batch of Ralphies! Of course, I got all gung-ho and made a bajillion of them...I am currently trying to get them all sewn up and stuffed. I thought it would only take a day or two, but it's taken a little longer.



The madness!!

If you want a stuffed Ralphie, the ones I have available now are in my zombietoes shop HERE!


I'd better get back to those, actually...Have a great weekend! Go buy art LOL!

xo!

Raven + Angel art, Mermaid ACEO, new Zazzle items, and a new series!


Hello!

Well, I seem to be getting back on track, yay! I've got two new ACEO auctions on eBay, plus new Zazzle fun stuff, and the first image in a new series (also available as prints)!


First, as always, I will show off my new ACEO auctions! This one is titled "Raven Reading", and features lots and lots of books, and nestled in those books, a beautiful blond angel and a raven! I love this piece- it is an original 2.5" x 3.5" illustration, and is up for auction on eBay with a starting bid of just $5! To see the listing, and perhaps even make a bid, just visit the link below the picture:




"Raven Reading" original angel book fantasy art


The other new original ACEO is equally pretty- "Pink" is a fantasy portrait of a dark haired, pink scaled mermaid! She is also up for auction on eBay, with a $5 starting bid! To see more, just visit the link below the picture:




"Pink" original mermaid fantasy art portrait

Of course, there are other auctions running; to see them all, just click HERE!


Next, I have magically found some time to put up some new items in my Zazzle shop! Among the new items are a *bunch* of new magnets, new postcards, and a few new necklaces! To see all the newness, and take advantage of the latest Zazzle sale (20.11% off all orders when you use the code 2011NEWYEARS at checkout- ends Thursday!!) just check out the link below the picture:




New Darkling Zazzle items!


Now, let me introduce the new series...heh heh heh! This has been formulating in the very back of my head for some time now. It is sort of a look at me, through my own artist eyes. Of course, it has been stylized a bit, and I will probably embellish a lot and make a lot of shit up, but...as an introvert, I deal with myself all of the time, and have more than a few major 'faces' that make up my days. These 'faces' do not always get along, and thus I put up with many an internal struggle. Well, this is sort of a tongue-in-cheek look at some of the recurring obstacles and culprits of my inner landscape. I'm honestly not wanting to come off as narcissistic with this; really, the reason I'm doing it is more out of (my version of) laziness than anything. This way, I don't have to think too much about the story behind the art. I can just make the art. But, enough rambling. Here is the very first piece in the series I will refer to as "Problems"...


"Two and the Same" may look familiar to those of you who have visited my work in progress album lately. Well, it is *finally* finished, and limited edition prints are available through my darklingemily etsy shop. To read about this piece, and perhaps get yourself a print, just visit the link below the picture:




"Two and the Same" fantasy art prints


So, for now, that is all I've got. I have plans for a new Facebook exclusive auction very soon, a website update (which I will shamefully put off until I can no longer live with myself), more new art, and other stuff!

xo!
