Greetings all!
Well, I have a full post today! Finally finished up my latest jester painting (which has been listed!), plus I have a cute little circus ACEO original (and lots of prints) up on eBay, and a SALE/RAFFLE! Probably some other things as well, we will see how long this gets...
I'd like to introduce you to my latest painting- "Suite" is an original 16" x 20" x .75" acrylic painting on gallery wrapped canvas. One of the great things about this piece is that you can hang it any way you see fit! To see more pictures, read the details of this painting, and perhaps even give it a new home, please visit the link below the picture:

Another new piece I've just listed is this sweet little circus themed ACEO- "Wheelie" features a tiny lady in a blue top hat riding one of those old-timey bicycles! Please forgive me as I do not know the proper name for them, but I do know enough to know they have a proper name LOL! Anyhoo, this little 2.5" x 3.5" original illustration is up for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of $5! To see all the details, please visit the listing link below the picture:

I also have a BUNCH of ACEO prints (99 cent starting bids on all) and a few other random pieces of art up for auction- to see them all just click HERE!
Now, SALE!! And RAFFLE! In one LOL!! I am having a sale in both of my etsy shops (25% off all orders with the code RAFFLE), and all sales from both etsy shops, my official website darklingtreasures.com and eBay will enter you into a raffle to win a custom illustration! All the specifics can be found in my previous blog post HERE...and if you have any questions or anything, feel free to leave them as comments/posts, or email me!
On a random note...I recently donated a set of copies of my Little Books of Zombie Limericks to The Paper Airplane Zine Library. This is a new project started by the Drury University English department (Springfield, MO). You can check out the Facebook Page HERE, though it is also new. They are accepting donations at this time, as far as I know.
Suppose that is all for now. I was going to ramble a bit, but...I'll save that for another time :)
xo!

Oh, another week gone by with only one blog post! How is this continuing to happen?!? You must accept my heartfelt apologies. I feel so bad.
At any rate, I do have some new art to share, some new 99 cent ACEO Print auctions running, a contest, and reminder to get your bids in on my FB exclusive auction...it ends tomorrow!
As always, I will begin with the new art! I have a brand new fantasy ACEO original up for auction on eBay- "Majea Returns"...Majea is a character I created years ago, and she happened to pop back into my life recently, unannounced, and a little mad at me for forgetting all about her. I promised her I'd make amends, so...she is being included in my secret project. Which makes this ACEO auction extra special for collectors! "Majea Returns" has a $5 starting bid; to see the auction listing, and perhaps make a bid, just click on the link below her picture:

Also brand new, and original, is my latest in the Circus & Side Show series- the Bearded Lady! This original 2.5" x 3.5" illustration is created in archival inks and acrylic paints on bristol. She is also up for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of just $5! To see her listing, read more about her, and make a bid, just visit the link below her picture:

And, as always, a handful of 99 cent ACEO Print auctions are also listed, for your enjoyment...you can see them all here:

Now, a friendly reminder that my Facebook exclusive auction- for an original 16 page mini art journal, all filled up with original, one of a kind art work and writing- is ending TOMORROW (Thursday) night at midnight (EST)!! If you want to know more about the book and/or make a bid, please visit this link:

If you are not already a fan of my page there, you will have to fan/like it in order to make your bid...The next auction will be going up either right after this one ends, or sometime on Friday...and a preview-hint, the new auction is a small collection of Ralphie goodies! For those of you who are not familiar with Ralphie, he is my adorable, silly, comforting little cartoon bird character...here's a picture of him in one of his many forms:
Oh, yes, and the good folks over at MyTagArt are having their 1st birthday!! Complete with many contests, freebies, and prizes! If you are interested in getting some awesome goodies, you will have to join thier forum, but it is quick, painless, and free of course!

What else what else...Sorry to bog y'all down with all this new stuff. This is why I feel bad about not having more time to post during the week. Oh! Yes! I have (finally) updated my website- darklingtreasures.com with a bunch of new images (all are available as prints/posters) in the galleries, and have even created a brand new gallery for my circus art! In doing the latest updates, I was realizing that my website does need a lot of touching up and reorganizing...so that will be happening over the next few months. Goodbye sleep, hello working to the bone! ahahahahahaha...and, as you can see, the delirium has already begun to set in...
But no worries, I will be fine. I'd rather be eyeball deep in projects than bored silly.
xo!

Whoa...
It's been a rather weird day for me...started off in a not-so-good way, then progressed to minor frustrations, exhaustion, and near defeat, then to major incredulity and joy...I have to admit, I am pooped out and it's only 10pm! I still have to eat dinner, and do the dishes. At this point I am asking myself where in the heck my helper monkey is? Oh, right, I never did get around to acquiring one...Dang it!
Anyhoo...let's get down to business, shall we? I've got a brand new jester piece to share, along with another Cartoon Aquarium original auction (partially for charity) and some other fun news, too...
The newest jester is titled "Brain Freeze"- she is a sultry brunette, with dangerous yellow eyes, and a mind for ice cream...Not sure if anyone has noticed, but I have been attempting to overcome my fear of using reds in my art lately...how'd I do with her? There are limited edition art prints of "Brain Freeze" available for sale in my darklingemily etsy shop; the link is below her picture:
"Brain Freeze" jester pin up art prints
I've got another auction up on eBay, with 10% of the final sale price going to the Gulf Restoration Network! "Squee" is one of my original Cartoon Aquarium seahorse paintings- he is sort of ladybug-like, and definitely a strange fellow. An acrylic painting on 8" x 10" gallery wrapped canvas, up for auction starting at $35. To see the listing and maybe even make a bid to adopt him into your home (and at the same time give a little bit of help to the Gulf of Mexico), just follow the link below the picture:
"Squee" original cartoon seahorse painting for charity
I've also got a couple of ACEO prints up for auction (and more on the way in the next few days), all starting at just 99 cents! To see all my auction listings on one page, just click HERE!
So...I had an OMG moment when I checked my email after a long and slightly horrid day at work :) Awhile back, I had been contacted by someone from a project called the Poet's House Showcase, asking for a set of my "Little Books of Zombie Limericks" to put on display with a TON of other poetry books (all self published, by various artists/authors)...Well, the New York Times wrote a short article on the showcase, and they mentioned my silly little books! I am 100% floored. I cannot even begin to describe it. I might be walking around the whole rest of this week with my mouth agape in astonishment. I may not sleep much. I might laugh for no apparent reason. Freakin' WOW! Normally, I am not one to brag about things, especially one line shout outs, but I feel justified this time, because it's the NEW YORK TIMES!!! Here is a link to the article if you are interested in reading it:

Other exciting news- for you all- this Thursday (July 15th), I will be holding another 15% off sale in my darklingemily etsy shop. This is a one day sale ONLY, and all orders are 15% off!! So, come on over and see if there is something special that catches your eye, because it will be on sale Thursday!! Nothing will be visually marked down in my shop, however I will be adjusting invoices to reflect the discount, so please wait until I invoice you to make payments!
Also- my Facebook Exclusive art giveaway drawing ends tomorrow night at midnight (EST)- here is the link to enter if you would like to sneek in at the last minute:
Emily's Art Giveaway Contest (ends Wednesday!!)
Yes. A weird day, indeed. I'm still working on my circus and sideshow series, and loving every minute of it. I do have a confession, though- I have (shamefully) spent a few too many minutes researching dead wrestlers this week, and how they ended up that way...Oh yes, my friends, when two obsessions merge together, things can get crazy, and much time being spent on things that are not art heh heh! *shakes head* I am such a dork. And, this dork really needs some food and some clean dishes, so...I will be off now.
xo!

Hello!
Well, I've got some art up for auction (of course!), plus some new bookmarks, and info on my latest Facebook Exclusive Art Giveaway contest!
Very first, I have TWO new art auctions up on eBay today- both of these pieces are originals, and each has a sea turtle theme :) Also, both are donation auctions, with a percentage of each sale price going to the Gulf Restoration Network...This organization helps to restore and protect the beauty and wildlife of the Gulf of Mexico!
So, the auctions are as follows- I have a brand new mermaid ACEO- "Turtle Stories"- a tiny sea turtle and a blue-skinned mermaid are telling stories...This is an ORIGINAL illustration, 3.5" x 2.5" in inks and acrylic paints, up for auction with a starting bid of $5. To see more details, and make a bid to help me donate to this worthy (and important) cause, just visit the link below the picture:
"Turtle Stories" original mermaid fantasy art
**A quick side note- I have opted to raise my starting bid from 99 cents to $5 for original ACEOs, though I will be having many ACEO print auctions soon that will start at 99 cents ;)
The other donation auction is my ORIGINAL painting of "Jon"- the punk rock sea turtle from my Cartoon Aquarium series! "Jon" is painted in acrylics, on a 10" x 8" x 1" gallery wrapped canvas. He is ready to hang on a wall, no frame needed! Up on eBay, with a starting bid of $35, his auction listing is at the link below his picture:

So...What else is new...? I've put up some new dragon bookmarks in my darklingemily etsy shop...These are printed from my dragon paintings, in full color, and each one has a colored ribbon tassel. To see them all, check out the link below the picture:

I am really roasting in this humidity, and it's rather difficult to think straight. My hair is a mess, there is sweat in my eye, and no amount of cold showers and swimming in the pond is going to make it okay for me to not have AC...I try to make myself feel better by telling myself that I am doing a bit of good by not having one, but the true fact is that I am cheap and would rather suffer than pay the extra $ on my electric bill. So, I just wish for a lot of rain instead, and try to think about other things.
xo!
