Hi All!
I know I have been "quiet" lately; kind of been soul searching and re-evaluating things lately. Not to worry, there's nothing wrong, I'm just trying to get emotionally organized...whatever that is heh heh heh! But...at least I'm *trying*...
Tonight, two new pieces- the latest zodiac dragon (original and the first edition print) and a new mermaid ACEO which some of you may have already seen ;)
This mermaid ACEO is a new, original mixed media art card (2.5" x 3.5"). "Blue Babe" is a 2010 creation, aka new, though I did make her last week and listed her a few days ago...She still has a few days left on the virtual auction block (aka eBay).. I did start the bidding at 99 cents, (with free shipping) but it has been bid up to $3 at last check (woo hoo, breakin' the bank on this one heh heh heh!) If you are interested in fighting to give this tiny, pouty mermaid a new home, I implore you to visit the link below her picture...There you can view more detailed pictures, read the short blurb I wrote for her (along with art work details) and make your bid:

Now, for the newest zodiac dragon! "Scorpio Dragon" is the latest illustration in my astrological dragons series...I've given this dragon royal purple and maroon segmented armor (much like the scorpion next to the glyph for Scorpio)...Also featured in this piece is the ruling planet for this sign- Pluto...And I don't care what's what, I personally still consider Pluto to be a planet. Otherwise, it screws up the whole ruling planet issue. :P The original illustration is available in my darklingemily esty shop...To see the listing for the original piece, please visit the link below the picture:

Also available is the #1/25 limited edition art print of "Scorpio Dragon". This art print is listed for auction on eBay, starting at just $9.99 (free shipping). If you would like to make a bid on this 8" x 10" print, please visit this link:

Other than gardening and emotionally cleaning house, I am slowly working on a mermaid illustration...it's a little bit different than my usual stuff, but I thought it was a novel idea at the time...Since I *still* think it's pretty funny, I will share with you all that it is two mermaids mudwrestling. Seeing as I have very little experience with drawing action, this should turn out...interesting. I will try to do the idea justice. Thus, I will be taking my sweet, sweet time on this one. If it turns out poorly...I'll post it, but not for sale ;) At any rate, I am off to get some work done on that :) Have a good night!
xo!

Hi!
Well, I have a small handful of new art to share with you all, plus some updates (art related, of course!) The very first Dragon Zodiac piece, a brand new mixed media ACEO, and more!
So, the very first piece in my Dragon Zodiac series is Leo. As organized as I am, I have opted to just randomly create each zodiac sign as I see fit! None of this "start with number one (Aries) and go consecutively" crap. "Leo Dragon" features a maned orange dragon, with big blue-green eyes, perched on the glyph for Leo. A lion (the token animal for Leo) and the sun (Leo's ruling planet) appear in the background...This is a larger piece for me, at 8.5" x 11" on bristol...I've decided to try out my mixed media recipe of acrylic paints, archival inks, and Prismacolor pencils (very similar components to my jester pin ups). The original artwork is available for purchase in my darklingemily etsy shop. To see more detail pictures and perhaps even purchase it, please follow the link below the picture:

In addition to the original piece, I have also put up the first limited edition print (#1/25) for auction on eBay, starting at just $9.99, with free shipping! The limited edition prints are 8" x 10" on matte photo paper, with some hand embellishments in archival inks. To read more about the print, and even make a bid, please visit this link:

Also up for auction today is a brand new mixed media ACEO. "Posey" is a pretty little fairy girl, somewhat shy, but in a flirty sort of way! She is an original, one of a kind piece (2.5" x 3.5"), and is up for auction starting at just 99 cents (with free shipping!). I do not know how many mixed media pieces I will be making this year, so this is a very special auction! To see her listing, detail pictures, info, and to make a bid, please click the link below her picture:

In other news, I have updated my website galleries for this month! Lots of new images in the Fantasy Art Gallery and a few new ones in the Miscellaneous Art Gallery too! All of the new pictures are at the top of the page, and are marked "NEW" so you can find them easily! There are limited edition art prints and posters available for each image- just click on the small pictures, at it will bring you to the individual pages, where you can read about the piece, and view/purchase prints and posters. Everything purchased through my website gets shipped for free, too! There is also some fun news up on my homepage here if you would like to see what's new with some of my projects and such!
I've been spending a bunch of time in the garden lately; mostly weeding, cleaning up brush, and edging. The rose bushes are growing fast, as are the irises and of course a million lillies! Nothing has really bloomed quite yet, aside from the weeping cherry tree and the forsythias, and a few daffodils and tulips which are scattered across the lawn. Oh, yes, and tons of grape hyacinth! They just grow right out of the lawn. I didn't plant them that way, they must have been planted by my grandmother years ago, and have decided to migrate. So, it has been a little slower in the studio lately, because I know if I don't get to gardening, I'll end up with a jungle of weeds! But, I am also working on a painting commission, and the next Dragon Zodiac- Scorpio! I must admit, I am about two steps away from losing my mind, but...I just have to remind myself to breathe, and that everything will eventually even out again...
xo!
