"Hello Phone" mini painting set (framed), New ACEO originals- "Ooh, A Piece of Candy!" + "Boudoir", plus necklaces + prints!

Hello!

Things got all crazy, so I have been a bit quiet on the social networking front lately (sorries to all). I picked up an extra half shift at the day job, effectively leaving me with approximately 2.5 entire studio days, if I don't sleep. ;) So, I've been busting butt. I do have a few new pieces to share, and I am working on getting a small stockpile to list at my leisure...SO hopefully you won't even notice I am missing!

The first new piece is actually a set of two! "Hello Phone" features two little portraits (each painting is 2" square) of cute 50's era style girls. A little flirty, definitely adorable! I love them... I have taken the liberty of matting and framing them together in a 4" x 6" frame...you can see all the pictures, read all about them, and even place a bid at the link below the picture ($15 starting bid)

I will have more sets of mini portraits in the near future- they have stemmed from the studio cleaning that has been going on over here...painted on scraps of primed artist canvas that were trimmings from other paintings. I hate to waste, and I can paint small, so...there you have it folks.

I do also have both of these lovely ladies available on necklaces through my Zazzle Shop- just visit the link below the picture

Now, some new original ACEOs! ONe of them is a DUDE!! He's kind of scary, though...I guess I'll just start with him :) "Ooh, a piece of Candy!" is me trying to lighten up this guy just a tad...he seemed so upset, and I figured...maybe a piece of candy would ease his malcontent a bit...but no...Anyhow, he is an ORIGINAL ACEO (2.5" x 3.5" acrylics and ink on bristol)...He is listed for auction on eBay ($5 starting bid) and all the info is at the link below:

I must admit, scary as he is, I will miss him if/when he finds a new home.


Another original ACEO on eBay- "Boudoir"- a pretty girl and a little dragon play dress up in lingerie! Much happier and lighter than Mr. Grumpily up there, heh heh. This original ACEO (3.5" x 2.5") is also up for auction (starting bid $5) at the link below the picture:

One last thingy, here...I have put up a few new print sets in my darklingemily etsy shop! Sets are 5 assorted 4" x 6" prints of my fantasy art- older pieces mostly- for $10 per set. These prints are from a backstock that I have recently found in a box under a box inside a box. ;) You can see them all by visiting the Art Print section in my etsy shop HERE!


I am still sorting through all sorts of goodies in my studio- I am going through all my shiny metal stashes currently, and once I get those all sorted, packaged, and listed, I will get on to sorting through my fiber stash...But I'm keeping ALL of my ribbons! And I'm not even sorry about it hahahaha! Okay...love!

xo!

Rock Lobster mermaid painting, a rare male ACEO original, new Zazzle stuff, comics, and ramblings!

What. Is. Up?

I have new art, that's what! (Shocking, I know! phhh) A few original pieces, lots of auctions on ebay, new Zazzle items with some recent art of mine, some humor, some rambling...


First up, I would like to introduce the latest proof that I am a huge dork- "Rock Lobster" is an original 7" x 5" fantasy painting, featuring a mermaid/lobster girl rocking out with her headphones on...complete with electric guitar fish swimming in the background. Yes. Dorky, but I love her. If you would like to be the proud new owner of this ridiculous piece, she is currently up for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of only $15! To see the listing with all the information, please visit the link below her picture:

There are also a few work in progress pictures of this piece up in my Facebook album HERE! (Scroll to the bottom of the page to see her)


Now, rareness...I have been holding onto this piece for a bit. Mmm, okay, actually he was sitting in the corner of my desk, half finished for about a month, patiently waiting while many beautiful and strange women were being created. I feel bad, as I don't often draw male characters, so...I am going to start peppering them in more often. This is "Good Ideas"- he is up for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of $5! To see more, just check out the listing at the link below his picture:

As usual, there are A TON of auctions running- originals from $5 (ACEO) to $25 starting bids, and a bunch of ACEO open edition prints for 99 cent starting bids! To see everything on one page, just click HERE!


ZAZZLE TIME! I feel like I should do jazz hands when I say that. Just picture me doing that, okay? Awesome. I just got an email today informing me that my shop has apparently reached "pro seller" status on Zazzle! Woo Hoo! Now, I have some new products up, with my "Tiny Travels" alien pin up image, and a few items with my Dragon Playing Card images on them, among others! There's too much to list, but I'll throw a few atcha- T shirts, tote bags, stickers, posters... To see all the newness, please visit the link below the picture:

In other randomness, I've been trying to get a comic drawn up at least once a week (admittedly, I've been slacking on getting them FINISHED, but they are being penciled up regularly)...Anyhoo, these are just humorous and mostly stupid vignettes of moments in my life. Most of them happen for realz, some of them are just reactions that I have in my head. I work in a kitchen, so...they lean toward the perverse a lot of the time. If this is something that offends you...what the crap are you doing reading my blog? And, don't follow this link...unless you want to laugh a little:

Em's stupid comics on Facebook


Okay...go pee, grab a snack and get situated, cuz I'm gonna ramble at you for a minute! LOL! Firstly, I want to thank each and every one of you who have supported my art over the years. It is just...so...wonderful to be able to share these little worlds, stories, and pictures, and have them be received by open eyes and open hearts. Even all you critics, I love you too. All of you have helped me to become a better artist, and in turn, a better person, every day. There's no way I can ever truly express my gratitude. But I will always try. :) *ahem* sorry to get all mushy on ya...Full moon in Cancer (I think) coming up, and I am feelin it...Ugh!

Anyhoo, how about some shallow rambling? Ha ha, okay- so, remember last week when I was hemming and hawing about painting a mermaid on that long, thin canvas? Well, that's not happening at the moment. I flew off on another weird tangent, and am now working on a few new ladies (and some dudes!). I have a nude robot sketched out, and had her all ready to get onto canvas. Then I got another idea, and ANOTHER IDEA, and ANOTHER ONE...so...things are pretty much a carnival over here, working 3-4 pieces in the physical realm and about 4 more in my brain. I don't know what is wrong with me, making so much dang work for myself. On top of that, I seem to be in kind of a 'summer' mood, so I've been out and about more often, and not in the studio WORKING LIKE I SHOULD BE! Things are still getting accomplished, though not at the pace that I prefer to keep. But...all work and no play...you know? Not that I don't LOVE to paint, but...I've been told I'm only human, so that's what I'm rollin' with for now ;)

xo!
