Monster Zodiac auctions- Aries + Taurus, new dorkling comic, + zombie stuff- inkblot ACEO sets + pillows!


Hi Hi!
Well, I know I've been quiet for a little bit...seems to be my new norm. I've been off in the studio putting together monsters and comics and zombies! It's a lot of work to wrangle all these creatures and not get eaten, drooled on too much, or covered in weird fur/scales/hair...But! I have come out of it with some new (and old) critters to share!


First, I have completed the first six zodiac monsters (Aries through Virgo)...and I will be listing one a night for auction on eBay (I started Tuesday with Aries, aqnd tonight I listed Taurus, tomorrow will be Gemini, etc)...These are my own personal cartoon/lowbrow take on the astrology signs, illustrated in acrylic paints, pencils, and inks, and then fused with other assorted media on 3.5" x 5" masonite boards. Below are pictures of the two that are currently up for auction on eBay- Aries and Taurus- each has a starting bid of $20:

Of course, I have a few other auctions running on eBay as well as the zodiac monsters, you can see them all HERE!


I have a new comic up on my dorkling blog...actually, there are two, I forgot to inform you last week. I've been very good (surprisingly) about updating with a new comic every week, so please do go over and check them out, it would mean a great deal to me!!!


Now, some zombie things, woo woo! :} I have compiled an ACEO set of 8 of my (assorted) zombie Rorschach inkblot prints! Each set comes in a clear plastic hard case, makes a great gift, $15 per set in my zombietoes etsy shop at the link below the picture:

Zazzle is now offering PILLOWS!! YAY! I am psyched :)) Of course, I have precious little time to design many at the moment, but I did manage to get some zombie pillows made! More to come soon (hopefully)...feel free to email me requests on zazzle products with specific images of mine on them...if you don't see it, I can make it! :) Here is the link to the pillows I have right now:

Okay, I still have a bunch of things to get done before I can even think about sleeping, so...I bid you all adieu.


xo!

Random News and Ramblings


Hi!

Well, I know you may be here looking for new art, but I will warn you now that all I have are some WIPs :) I also have a new comic up on my Dorkling blog + FB page. I swear I have been doing stuff! Mostly I just have a bunch of news.


Let me show you what I have been making slow progress on- zodiac monsters! At this stage, they are all colored in and sealed up; soon, I will begin layering backgrounds with colors and texture.



A reminder that there is one day left to take advantage of my etsy shop sale- get 15% off your order with the code IDES15 at checkout! The sale code will work in both of my etsy shops, and also with the print sales I am having (buy two, get one free 4 x 6). Sale ends tomorrow evening (probably around 11 pm est). To check out all the original fantasy art, prints, and other handmade goodies on sale in my darklingemily etsy shop, click HERE!

Of course, if you are more into bidding on eBay, I have an endless parade of ACEOs, prints, and original pieces up for auction HERE!


Earlier this week, I received an email with some pretty exciting news- I have some art up at Zombie Burger in Des Moines, Iowa! Here's a picture of one of the prints ("The Fast Kind") in the background of one of their photos:



I think I am more excited that a zombie restaurant exists than my art hanging in it- what a dork! Be sure to check out the Zombie Burger Facebook Page, and if you happen to be in Des Moines, maybe stop in and try a burger for me? ;)


Okay. Major apologies for not having anything finished to share. I hope you can forgive me, and I hope I have been slightly entertaining nonetheless. Bed, here I come!

Raven girl portrait, Star Kitty cartoon art, and a March Sale!


Well, hello there! I know it's been awhile since my last post- my trip to the south was wonderful, relaxing, and has set me back about a week and a half! Eventually I will get caught up again...right? Sure, sure I will. But for now I have two new pieces to share and a sale to tell you about! :)


First, the sale info! From now (3/8) until 3/16, I am offering 15% off all orders placed through either (or both) of my etsy shops! All you have to do is use the code IDES15 at checkout to receive the discount. This code will work in conjunction with my 4 x 6 art print sale (buy 2, get 1 free) as well, so that's quite a deal! I hope you have an opportunity to get in on the sale!


Now, onward to new art!! I have two brand new pieces to share, the first being "Inner Bird 1". She is a self-likeness; I cannot call her a portrait, really, as she doesn't look like me...I am rather pleased with how she turned out! "Inner Bird 1" is an original acrylic painting on a 9" x 12" sheet of artist canvas. You can see more pictures and read more info on the art and my process at the listing link- she is available for purchase there as well, but because it is my etsy shop, she is on sale! Don't forget the code: IDES15...

Take heed- a new monster! This one is a kitteh!!!!! I know, not exactly monster like in appearance, per se, but kitties can be quite monstrous in behavior and action... The name of this piece is "Star Kitty"- a bright beacon of cuteness in the vast
cold and dark outer space. This kitty is a mixed media creation, and measures 5" x 7" on masonite. He is Available for purchase in my zombietoes etsy shop (which means also on sale!) at the link below the picture:

For those of you who are looking for my eBay art listings, they are HERE! Lots of ACEO prints- some never-before-released! Also, some originals up for auction, and 4" x 6" prints as well!


So, I am a teensy bit behind on my Dorkling comic, but I am hoping to get a new comic posted by the weekend :) I am also in the midst of a series of zodiac monsters- they will be very similar to the monsters I have been creating recently- fun, mixed media pieces Masonite. Hopefully, I will have the wherewithal to post some work in progress photos. I am finding myself wondering, again, why I always bite off more than I can chew. And...that is about all I have for tonight! Someone out there, please get some rest for me !
