Just a quick post tonight, I am totally pooped out from gardening all day...and thinking about how much more I still have to do...I could seriously fall asleep right here at my keyboard.
So...let me get right to it, then :) I've got my brand new "Monarch" dragon to share- he's also available in t shirt form from my zazzle shop! And a newly listed collage ACEO- she's an older piece, but the first time I have ever listed her :) Also, a link to a tutorial for creating tags and such from my friend Jenny via MyTagArt :)
Very first- "Monarch" is my latest dragon, and he's got two butterfly buddies with him! This is an original 10" x 8" painting, done in acrylics on a canvas panel. You can read/see more details, and perhaps even invite him into your home at the link below the picture:

"Monarch" is also available on long and short sleeve t shirts and hoodies in my Zazzle shop- you can choose your own shirt style, size, and color- there are also kids and infant sizes! Check it out at the link below the picture:

The latest eBay auction I've got going on right now is an older collage piece- "Carry It Always" is an original mixed media ACEO (2.5" x 3.5"). It features a fairy nymph, with lots of colorful hair, and big green eyes...She's very pretty, and will surely bring a touch of magic to your home! This piece starts at jsut 99 cents, with free shipping. too! To see more info and details, please visit the listing at the link below her picture:

Was hoping I would get a second wind by now, but it's just not happening. But, one last thing before I go to bed- my friend Jenny has written a digital tag tutorial...She even made me my very own tag, featuring my Hot Cocoa jester! I just love it, thank you Jenny! There is a lot of useful info there, so please check out her blog at the link below:

Here's the tag she made for me!

So...now I am going to bed! Night all!

Oh you guys...
Apart from my current "climbing-out-of-a-rut" state, I have some new art to share...A brand new jester pin up, a little fairy ACEO painting, and another older collage piece, too!
First, the newest jester(ess)! I have a weak spot for all kinds of sorbet, raspberry in particular, so I thought I'd give a shout out to one of my favorite desserts with a pin up :) The title for this one is simply "Raspberry Sorbet" as I have not been feeling all that clever or witty of late...But at least it brings Prince's song to mind. She is a beautiful blond jester, sensually spooning a frozen scoop of raspberry sorbet into her mouth. She's even got a raspberry tattoo! This piece is available as 8" x 10" limited edition prints through my darklingemily etsy shop- just visit the link below her picture to see more details and such:

Also brand new- "Spring Butterflies"- and ACEO original painting! This little 2.5" x 3.5" artwork is up for auction on eBay, starting at just 99 cents (with free shipping)! To see more detailed pictures of this little fairy and her butterflies, read her blurb, and even make a bid, please visit the link below her picture:

And one last piece for today- this one is an older mixed media collage. "A Small Seat" features a pretty, wide eyed fairy resting on a toadstool after hours of flying around. This piece is a 5" x 7" collage, with lots of different media- feathers, paints, inks, thread, sparklie things...These mixed media pieces look lovely framed- like little windows into magical lands. She is up for auction on eBay, with a 99 cent starting bid (free shipping, too)! To see the listing, details, and make a bid, please visit the link below the picture:

Of course there is a handful of my other art up for auction on eBay, so if you would like to see everything in one place, just click here! As far as I know, everything is still inder $5, many pieces have no bids yet, so you could get something for quite a steal!
For those of you who like to make digital tags and stuff, some of my art is now available as tubes for you to play with! Many thanks to MyTagart for allowing me the opportunity to join their wonderful selection of artists- to see what they have available as far as my art goes, please click here! :) There is also more on the way...

So, as aforementioned, I am working my way out of a bit of a funk. It is not so much an inspiration problem as a motivational one- something I am not very familiar with and prefer not to be- ever. The pictures pile up in my head and in my numerous sketch books, but I seem to be having trouble getting them generated into actual art. I am blaming the beautiful weather and my multitude of work to get done in the gardens...Lots of yardwork to do, good stuff, but tiring! But for now, I am off to motivate and get my latest dragon painting worked on a bit more- there are work in progress photos up in my album on Facebook here if you would like to come by and see :)

It's raining, so I spent all day painting and cleaning :)
I have two new eBay auctions up- both of them are ACEO originals. This one is a new piece- "Float" is an original acrylic dragon painting (2.5" x 3.5" on canvas). He appears to be floating lazily through a dream- this piece was, in fact, loosely based on a recurring dream I had as a child. To read more, see detail pictures, and even make a bid ( he starts at just 99 cents with free shipping!) visit the link below his picture:

The other auction is an older collage piece of mine- "Sweet Stare" is a small blond-ish mermaid beauty, and she is just staring at you. Many feathers, hand made papers, paints, and inks in this little work of art make it very special and magical :) She is also up for a 99 cent starting bid with free shipping. To see details and make a bid, please follow the link below her picture:

So, been working on finishing up the final custom painting from my recent giveaway. It is a Wonderland themed piece, featuring the Cheshire Cat offering Alice some growth-inducing cookies! There are work in progress photos up on my Facebook Fanpage here if you are interested in viewing the process and the painting so far :).
Also getting a new sexy jester piece going- this one has cherries! And some smaller paintings and ACEOs :) I will be posting those later on in the week, so stay tuned!

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!
