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

Oh, weekend, I love you...
In this post, there is a new Cartoon Aquarium octopus, some older ACEO fantasy collage pieces, and a very exciting bit of news for those of you who are into digital tags :)
Firstly, I would like to introduce to you the newest member of my Cartoon Aquarium- "Octavio" is an original 11" x 14" x 1" acrylic painting on gallery wrapped canvas; he fades from orange to yellow starting at his head. :) To read the little blurb I wrote for him, and perhaps even adopt him into your home, please visit the link to the listing in my zombietoes etsy shop below his picture:

Next, I have been doing some spring cleaning, and have dug up some older ACEOs in my collage style- so, I have listed a few of them for auction, starting at just 99 cents each, with free shipping! To see the individual auction listings, just follow the links below the pictures:

There are a bunch more pieces up for auction this weekend; to see all of them in one place, just click here!
And, very cool news on the digital tag front- I have just begun licensing some of my images through MyTagArt! The official release date for my images/tubes is April 2- there will be Cartoon Aquarium images/tubes, some dragons and assorted fantasy images, and even some jesters here and there! I am not a digital tagger myself, as I prefer to paint (wink wink) but I must say, the folks at MyTagArt are super wonderful, warm, and helpful people, and I am very pleased and honored to have my art on their site.
So, that is all for this evening- I am getting psyched up for Wrestlemania tomorrow, and am looking forward to watching the Hall of Fame Induction here in a few minutes, so...I'm out. Enjoy your weekend!
xo!

Hello!
So, tonight's art goodies are a bit random (though that seems to be my M.O. lately)...I've got a new addition to the Cartoon Aquarium, some new Funny Bunny ACEOs, and one more raven to share!
I know I've busted out a whole slew of raven paintings over the past few weeks- I just love the ravens, they fly right into my head and then right out again, onto canvas. It's a very seamless process, something I am quite thankful for. It's the closest I've ever come to "Art efficiency" heh heh. The hardest part is waiting for one layer to dry before starting on the next layer...
At any rate, here is the latest rave- "Raven 16" features two snuggled birds in a bare birch tree...I like this piece a lot, it seems very quiet, like a fresh-snow walk in the woods on a Tuesday morning when the rest of the world is at work or school...Ah, the quaint pleasures of having my own schedule! I'm rambling again...This piece is an original 5" x 7" acrylic painting on a sheet of canvas. It was listed for sale earlier in the day, but it has already sold! You can still see the picture here:
Next, I have a BRAND NEW Cartoon Aquarium painting! It's been awhile since my last C.A. piece, and I nearly forgot how much I love painting all the strangeness in the ocean! This round, I have a small 8" x 6" acrylic painting of three spiny urchins amongst colorful coral and seaweed. I have allowed my inner child to title this one, as I do most of them- "Three Sea Pricklies" is the name- it is available through my zombietoes etsy shop... The link is below the picture:

On eBay this evening I have listed the next two "Funny Bunny" ACEOs- #3 and 4! These are little original mixed media art cards (measuring 2.5" x 3.5", or landscape at 3.5" x 2.5"). They are created in archival inks and colored with acrylic paints over a scrap of vintage book page (from an old sewing manual). I made them because, well, I was feeling poopy the other day and needed to get myself out of the poop-rut. They are simply for smiling purposes. Each Funny Bunny ACEO is listed at a $5 starting bid, with free shipping! To see the latest, please follow the links below their pictures:
"Funny Bunny 3" original ACEO
"Funny Bunny 4" original ACEO
Now, I best be off to my desk- finishing up my latest jester, working on a new dragon painting, and some zombies, too!
xo!
