Hi! I know, it's been some time...but I do have some new art! Only one piece- I am slowing down a bit, will touch on that in my ramble at the end here. Though there is only one *new* piece of art, I have lots of other goodies to share!
I really need to introduce you all to "Bun Bun the Clown"- some of you may not find him quite so precious as I do...I do not have an irrational fear of clowns, or bunnies for that matter, but I can appreciate how some of you may feel otherwise. Heh heh. At an rate, "Bun Bun the Clown" is an ORIGINAL mixed media painting- 11" x 7" on masonite. Details about Bun Bun and how he was created, purchase information, and more photos can be found at the listing in my darklingemily etsy shop at the link below:

Now...For those of you who are familiar with my older mixed media fantasy art...I have a surprise for you! I am now offering special gift boxes featuring many of my mixed media images through my Zazzle shop! These are so adorable, and I find that even a printed version of my collage art brings a great deal of dimension to a flat tile surface! To check out all the gift boxes I currently have, please visit the link below the picture:

Of course, I am still running my usual parade of art prints and originals over on eBay HERE! There are ACEO open edition prints (I try to list a few new ones each day) starting at just 99 cents, and ORIGINAL paintings and illustrations starting at just $15! This is a fantabulous place to look is you are in search of gifts (wink wink), you can get some ridiculous deals this way! Again, please visit my eBay auctions running HERE for lots of deals!
Okay, on to rambling. I am sure some of you have noticed that I have been slowing WAY down in production over the last few months. I know I have mentioned it before. Being an artist is basically like going through one phase after another, and reveling in that phase as much as possible, gleaning every ounce of knowledge and life from it, every drop of color...once you get all that, the cycle clicks over and there is a new phase to explore. That's how it has always been for me, anyhow. Not to say that it is all grand and fabulous, but I try to experience "bad things" in stride with the "good things"- and quotations because nothing is as it seems, really. Well, I think I have just entered some new and bizarre phase in my art, and thus in my life. I am unfamiliar with the landscape and will need time to get my bearings. Knowing myself as well as I do, I have decided to finally slow down a bit. Well, kind of, in a way. I guess it's more like going rogue-hermit to work on some more involved projects. Of course there will still be art, though, no worries! I just can't promise any sort of consistency in creating new art for now. Also, commissions are officially CLOSED until next year sometime, I have not decided when exactly. I have to get my poor website in order- it is half remodeled and I've put it off for far too long now...But anyway, that's me thinking out loud. Or thinking via keyboard.
xo!

First of all, I like Bun Bun. I think he's really cute. And I guess I'm one of the last people of the 21st century who like clowns too...I even knew a kid in high school who joined the circus and now works as a clown full time, and he was wicked cool.
ReplyDeleteNow about art phases and slowing down for a while...anyone here who is an artist can identify with that! As you probably already know, it's all part of the game. Actually, to be honest, I have never been able to understand how you work the way you do, turning out so much great work so fast like some kind of crazy machine! So it only makes sense that you would slow down once in a while...marathon runners need to relax and refuel and so do you. I'm sure wonderful, amazing things will be the result and we look forward to them!
Oh Bethy! You are so wonderful- it is so nice to have some input on my blog...I know people read it, but it is so quiet here most of the time!
ReplyDeleteI never really know where my drive came from, it's just there and it's unrelenting at times. I am trying to put it in it's place for a bit...I think it's a time for learning and gathering, and then hopefully something awesome will come of that...;) XO
