Well hi!
So...I have three brand new pieces! I know, right after I say I am going to slow my creative process for Darkling Treasures ;| I just needed some good ART time, so I X-ed out all of Tuesday and just MADE STUFF. This stuff is mad lowbrow and adorable, plus I finished up one of my pin up paintings!
All three of these new pieces are listed for auction- on my Darkling Treasures Facebook Page! This is because I am going out of town for most of next week, and will have much more control over my auctions this way. So, let me show off the new art, then:
"Bookish" is the pin up painting I recently finished up- I really like how she turned out! She is an art nouveau inspired acrylic painting, 5" x 7" on a canvas panel. She is up for auction via my Darkling Treasures FB Page at the link below the picture- you can read all the auction information, and get specifics on the art, and perhaps even place a bid- starts at $20:
"Bookish" original pin up fantasy painting- Facebook Exclusive auction
Now...monsters! I am probably waay too into these little guys. What can I say? They make me smile, I love cartoons, they suit my lowbrow lifestyle, and...wait, I don't have to justify anything! haha! ANyhow, meet "Fenton"- he is an original 5" x 7" mixed media monster! A little firebug, at that :) You can see all the auction and art details at the link below the picture (it will take you to my Darkling Treasures FB Page)- bidding starts at $20:

Now, this little monster is named "Mish"- he is a hybrid jellyfish-bird-rabbit, and he is very sentimental to me, so I am kind of having a hard time putting him up for sale. FYI. He is also and original 5" x 7" mixed media piece; all the info about the art and the auction can be found at the link below his picture- bidding for "Mish" starts at $20:

These three Facebook auctions will run until Friday, February 24th at 11pm EST. I will be home then to end them and get them sent out to their new homes, should they find them :)
This leads me into ordering information for the next week...I will be visiting family in Georgia from 2-19 to 2-23, and will be away from my studio/stockpiles/printer/stamps and envelopes...thus unable to ship anything out until my return. For current outstanding orders: all eBay auctions (I believe) will end before I leave, so if you win something(s) and would like me to ship out your art before I go, payments MUST be made by, mmm, like 8pm EST this Saturday! This way I can get everything packaged and drop them in a mailbox on my way to the airport. Both of my etsy shops will go into vacation mode on Saturday evening until I return, and the listings wont show up. As for my website, orders will be filled and shipped upon my return. I should be around a computer on and off during my trip, so I will be able to check in, possibly answer emails, maybe post some stuff...But mostly I will be on break.
Okay, I think that is all for now. I am freakin tired! OH! Before I go, may I remind you to drop by my Dorkling blog, as there is a new comic up! Also, I have updated the blog with some of the older comics, and will continue to do so over the next weeks :) Go HERE for the comic: Dorkling blog

Greetings all!
I have kind of a long ramble to get to, but I also have some new art and stuff to share, so I will do that first :)
A brand new painting for you!! I feel like it's been forever since I have painted an actual fairy, but I've got a pretty one for ya! Her name is "Gypsy"- She is an art nouveau and moth inspired fae, with brilliant red hair and a slightly pouty demeanor. "Gypsy" is an ORIGINAL 5" x 7" acrylic painting on a canvas panel- she is currently up for auction on eBay with a starting bid of $20. To see the listing, more pictures, more info on the art, and perhaps even place a bid to own the painting, please visit the link below her picture:

Of course, there are a whole bunch of other art auctions running on eBay- this week I am listing a TON of open edition 4" x 6" art prints for $3 starting bids on each! I will have you know that ALL of my prints are signed, open edition or not :) If you'd like to see all the art I have on eBay at the moment, just click HERE!
Now, I have added a few new items to my poor, neglected Zazzle shop- mainly little magnets of my older mixed media fantasy artworks. I have also listed a brand new T shirt design, featuring my (personal favorite) "Clap Hands" pin up illustration. She is available on lots of assorted colors and styles of shirt, your choice! Even long sleeves :) Check out the new T shirt at the link below the picture:

and all the other stuff is here: Fun and New Zazzle Items!
I want one of those t shirts. I will have one. Soon ;} Maybe I'll get a tank top this time....
Okay, ZOMBIE TIME WOO WOO! I have put up a new Facebook Exclusive Auction on my Darkling Treasures art page; a small collection of zombie goodies, all made by me of course! This is a decent hoard of stuff- limerick books, prints, bookmark, etc...You can read all about what's in this auction and how to bid by following the link below the picture:
FB exclusive ZOMBIE COLLECTION auction
This auction starts at $0, and ends next Monday, Feb 13th at 11pm EST. Get your bidding shoes on!
So...Here are the VERY IMPORTANT THINGS YOU SHOULD READ :)
As you may or may not have noticed, I've been a little quieter than usual lately. This is not actually the case, I have actually been very loud all over the place, just not so much here in 'fantasyland'. My focus seems to be shifting a great deal in another direction, which I kind of saw coming awhile back, and perhaps a few of you also saw. I am crazily switching gears in my art life, and am going to be putting a lot more time into the comic side of things. I cannot deny the muses, and they are really *not* subtle when they want something.
So, I will be spending a good portion of my studio time working on my zombietoes creations and my Dorkling comic and sub-projects (yeah there's a lot going on). Cartoons make me happy, and I am *disgustingly productive* when I am happy, and that makes me happier. It's a viciously happy cycle. (gross). I am totally being selfish in this, I will admit it, but hopefully it is not without its entertainment.
For those of you concerned about what is going to happen with my fantasy art and Darkling Treasures, fret not! I will still be making time to create new snapshots of my crazy inner worlds and stories :) I am scaling back, however, and likely will not be producing more than 4 new originals a month. All eBay auctions will 100% continue as normal, but you can expect some streamlining of my etsy shops. Nothing major. I am still working on the website *sigh*. I have decided that there is just far too much art to deal with, so I will be retiring a bunch of pieces from print. I have not decided on which ones yet, so if there are ones you'd like to see stay, you are more than welcome to email me and let me know! The input would be nice :)
So, that's about it for now. Please feel free to follow the link below to check out my Dorkling comic and stuff!
