Rabbit Ears sci-fi Pin Up art + companion piece, new on eBay- originals + prints, and Sale/Raffle reminder!


helloz...

Today was a gorgeous day. So nice after a week+ of rain and gloom. I spent all day thoroughly sorting through my studio...spring cleaning and all. I donated a LOT of art supplies. I have some more that I am thinking about destashing, but...I keep saying I'm gonna do it and then never do. Hmmm. At any rate, I have some new art!


"Rabbit Ears" is my new baby!! I love this piece, I love the colors, I love the bunnies, I love the message...Yay! *ahem* Okay...This is an original acrylic painting (8" x 10" on canvas panel), featuring a beautiful pin up bunny girl, and a white rabbit on TV. You can learn more about "Rabbit Ears" - details, thoughts, purchase and shipping info- at the link below the picture:

There is a companion piece to this painting- another, smaller painting (5" x 7" on canvas panel) featuring a sheepish, and slightly overtired blue bunny with an antennae hat...He is listed separately at the link below the picture:

Both of these new paintings are included in my 25% sale when you sue the code RAFFLE at checkout...until May 31!


Speaking of my Sale/Raffle, the entries are stacking up! Here's my remider blurb-

ALL purchases made through either of my etsy shops, through auction on eBay, and through my official website will enter you into a raffle to win your very own custom illustration!

For my etsy shops- ALL items are 25% off when you use the code RAFFLE at checkout. This code is good for both my darklingemily etsy shop as well as my zombietoes etsy shop!

Because my prices are already ridiculously low on eBay, I am not holding any sales over there, but those purchases still enter you into the raffle!- you can see all the auctions HERE!

This sale runs through May 31st, and I will be announcing the winner of the raffle on June 1st on my Facebook Fan Page!


So...in the fashion of spring cleaning, I have listed a few ORIGINAL paintings up on eBay for very low starting bids :) There are two dragon paintings up at the moment ("Monarch" and "Dragon and Raven"), along with my "Semi-Sweet" jester pin up illustration, and my "Departure" nautical illustration. You can see them individually at the links below, or all on one page by clicking HERE!

"Dragon + Raven" original dragon + raven fantasy painting auction


"Semi-Sweet" original jester pin up fantasy illustration


"Departure" original woman + ship Nautical illustration


Perhaps you are not in the market for an original...well, I have a whole bunch of 99 cent ACEO prints up for auction as well! Something for everyone ;)


Aside from my shameless self promotion, I've gotten a bunch of new ACEO illustrations half finished, and a few new paintings in various stages of creation...most are still just sketches, but I am psyched to get them onto canvas...My art seems to get just a little bit weirder every day...

xo!

I'd like to introduce you to my latest painting- "Suite" is an original 16" x 20" x .75" acrylic painting on gallery wrapped canvas.

Another new piece I've just listed is this sweet little circus themed ACEO- "Wheelie" features a tiny lady in a blue top hat riding one of those old-timey bicycles! Please forgive me as I do not know the proper name for them, but I do know enough to know they have a proper name LOL! Anyhoo, this little 2.5" x 3.5" original illustration is up for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of $5! To see all the details, please visit the listing link below the picture:

On a random note...I recently donated a set of copies of my Little Books of Zombie Limericks to The Paper Airplane Zine Library. This is a new project started by the Drury University English department (Springfield, MO). You can check out the Facebook Page HERE, though it is also new. They are accepting donations at this time, as far as I know.


Suppose that is all for now. I was going to ramble a bit, but...I'll save that for another time :)

xo!

Rochambeau Nude Sci-fi painting, Insomniac ACEO, FB exclusive auction- Vegetate dragon, and WIPs!


Hello darlings!

Well, I have been busy plotting and scheming...I am sure some of you may have noticed I seem to be getting a bit quiet online...its because I am re-calibrating. I have no idea how long this will take me...probably all of my life heh heh. But, I am scaling back some things for now, including my blog posts. :( However, I will be sure to post at least once a week.

blah blah blah...Anyway, I do have some fabulous new art to share with you! My latest painting "Rochambeau", a new ACEO illustration for auction, and a new exclusive Facebook auction on my art page! Plus, some work in progress photos of my latest creation!


This piece has been up in my darklinemily etsy shop for a few days now, but I have not posted about her..."Rochambeau" is my new favorite painting, featuring a gorgeous nude playing rock-paper-scissors with three little robots! It is strange and beautiful, and I am very pleased with how it turned out! She is an original 8" x 10" x .75" acrylic painting on gallery wrapped canvas. All the art and purchase details can be found at the link below her picture:




"Rochambeau" original sci-fi nude painting


So...moving on to the next new original..."Insomniac" is an original ACEO illustration, with a teeny tiny dragon and a fairy too! And of course someone who has been up for days, and just wants to sleep! She is up for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of just $5! To see all the info, and perhaps even place a bid, please visit the link below her picture:




"Insomniac" original ACEO fantasy illustration

Also, a slew of my 99 cent ACEO prints and some larger originals (starting at $25) can be found on eBay HERE!


It's been awHile since I ('wait, what?' 'awHile' hee hee hee) have posted a Facebook Exclusive auction...but I've got one up now! For those of you who are unfamiliar with this procedure, basically I post a picture of the art or whaever I've got for auction, and you place your bids by commenting a $ amount on the photo. All my Facebook exclusive auctions start at $0, so it is the best place to get deals on my art! Anyhow, this week I have the original "Vegetate" dragon painting up for bid (again, starting at $0!)...This painting is in acrylics on gallery wrapped canvas ( 11" x 14" x .75"), is ready to hang, and he promises to behave himself in his new home! All of the details for bidding can be found at the link below his picture; auction ends next Wednesday, May 18th, at 11pm EST.

I do also have some work in progress pictures up of my latest painting- a larger 16" x 20" piece in a jester/suit of cards theme! You can watch my slow and painful progress (hahahaha!) at the link below:

Em's Work in Progress album- new painting!


One more thing before I get back to painting this new and beautiful monster...I have just posted poster prints (framed or unframed, you customize it!) of "Red Door Black" up in my Zazzle shop- large 23" x 31" posters are only $21.15 (plus shipping)! Of course there are smaller (and larger!!) sizes available...you choose that too! You can even get her printed up on a gallery wrapped canvas! Dang, I love Zazzle. The link to the "Red Door Black" posters is below the picture:

Now...off to do what I do...

Just a quick Note/apology ;)

Okay...
Well...If you follow my blog, you know by now that I am a HUGE dork.
I've had this blog for about a year now.
I just now, TODAY, JUST THIS MINUTE...figured out how to check my comments.
There are quite a few of them, which makes me very gleeful! I love comments, it lets me see what you all see!
However, the sad (and dorky) part of this is that because I did not know they were there, I have not responded to a single one...
So, to each and every one of you who has commented in the past, I say "Thank you from the bottom of my heart" and I also say "I am so sorry I neglected to respond!"
I really do feel terrible; be sure I will be keeping up on this from now on!
much love always

Red Door Black strange illustration, Semi Sweet jester ORIGINAL + ACEOs up for auction, Coloring products, WIPS and Rambling!



Hi hi!

So...I am slacking a little bit, but I have new art today! I also have news on an exciting new product featuring my art, as well as some pretty awesome deals on eBay...;)


I really want to share this piece with you all, I am very proud of her and kind of don't want to list her for sale...However, I will be able to keep her with me until she finds a new home, and lately...well, that could be a good long time. SO, I am content with that...Anyway, this is one of my new, bizarre illustrations, titled "Red Door Black". I think you can guess the inspiration point. You may also guess that I am going through a weird time in my life, and you may be right about that. However...this original illustration is listed for sale in my darklingemily etsy shop at the link below the picture:




"Red Door Black" original surreal fantasy illustration


Now...I have bitten the bullet and finally listed the very first ORIGINAL jester pin up illustration "Semi Sweet". She is the one that started the series of sexy jesters with assorted desserts... Until now, I have been holding ontot the original illustrations, but have decided to start auctioning them off one by one. So..."Semi Sweet" is up for auction right now on eBay, with a starting bid of $25...To see all the details about the artwork itself, more pictures, and all the other stuff, please visit the link below her picture:




"Semi Sweet" ORIGINAL Jester pin up illustration


Also for auction on eBay: a brand new ACEO original "Shhh!", featuring a little garden pixie tucking in an already sleeping dragon! Freakin disgustingly cute! She is up for a $5 starting bid at the link below:




"Shhh!" original dragon + pixie fantasy ACEO

Of course, there are also a handful of 99 cent ACEO prints for auction as well; to see all those, just click HERE!


I am very excited to announce this new product...Coloring products from Fantasy Fabric Blocks featuring my line art! There are numerous products to choose from- fabric blocks,t shirts, cards, and even UMBRELLAS!!! I am obsessed, I tell you what, obsessed with umbrellas. And I don't even own one. but yes! All of these items are colorless, so you can color them yourself! Too cool! Everything available at the moment can be found at this link:

U Color Products through Fantasy Fabric Blocks

In addition to those new coloring items, Fantasy Fabric Blocks has a handful of new, full color fabric blocks of my art HERE for all you crafters and stitchers!


It's Work in Progress time! Lately I've been off in the WTF closet of my mind...all sorts of mis-matched items, nonsensical ideas, leftover sketches from a different Emily, scribbled words that I am sure I am misreading...This closet, it is a mess, but it is fun and interesting, not at all what I would expect, and exactly what I need. So, from the closet of WTF I bring to you the latest- "Rochambeau"! At this stage she is just a group of work in progress pictures in my Facebook album HERE. I am trying to take it easy, and kind of just do whatever I want, for realz. Sales are down, I can't seem to impress anyone with enough cash to spend frivolously, and so instead of freaking out about it, I'm just gonna play. Because life is too short and I am not getting any less old and crotchety. So...that's that for now. I'm off to (hopefully) get this naked lady painting all finished up...

xo!
