Good evening!
So, I do have a few new pieces up for auction- two jester pin up ACEO prints, a print of my ACEO "Over the Rainbow", and a new original! But, I kind of feel like rambling, so this blog post will mostly be me fulfilling *that* whim ;)
Okay, before I go off on a tangent, I'll let you all know about my latest auctions! I have a brand new original ACEO illustration listed- "Fancy Feathers" features a little girl fairy and her pet peacock- super cute! She is up four auction with a starting bid of $5...To see the listing page, and perhaps even make a bid, just follow the link below her picture:

Also newly listed are a few ACEO prints with 99 cent starting bids- two of my jester pin ups (Mangolomaniac and Sucker)...You can see the individual listings at the links below their pictures:

"Sucker" jester pin up ACEO print
And one last one- an ACEO print of my original nude illustration "Over the Rainbow"- a pretty naked lady, sitting on a cloud, under an umbrella...I just love this piece! She is also listed at a 99 cent starting bid, and you can see more and make a bid at the link below her picture:

So...I'm gonna ramble about my week now. You've been fairly warned ;)
on Tuesday, I had to go into work in the early morning...When I got there, I noticed a baby bird hopping around in the road. So, I scooped it up and moved it to safety. I know you are not technically supposed to touch wild baby animals, because I guess the scent of human on them is sometimes enough to make the parents abandon them...But I was *not* going to leave that poor little guy out in harms way. It wasn't hurt, and was certainly about "learning to fly" age. Plus, one of the parent birds was right there, screaming at me the whole time. When I went on break later in the day, the baby and parent were gone, so...I assumed the best (for once)...Plus, I got to hold a baby bird before work! They are sooo cute :)
This morning, I found myself downtown before work, so I ran a few errands, grabbed a cup of coffee, and headed to the cemetery to visit with my namesake (Ms. Emily Dickinson). Some of the grass in the front of the graveyard hadn't been mowed in quite some time, and it was long and brown (but not in a gross way). In that part of the cemetery, the tombstones are very old, many are cracked and crooked. It was so quintessential, and I was silently cursing myself for not having my camera with me. So, I had a nice peacefully creepy morning, writing zombie limericks with Ms Dickinson in the graveyard.
It's strange, though, that a town as busy as Amherst has a "dead spot" (pun intended) right in the center of the center...I don't go to cemeteries and hang out because its cool and slightly gothy...I might be a dork, but I am not a big enough dork to be a goth (sorry goths). I'm just me. I just like that it is peaceful, but not all that lonely. I like that there is history and secrets, and lives past. Plus, even those dead and gone, for so long that there is no one left alive to visit them, still deserve a visitor now and then.
And...that's my ramble.
xo!

Oh, man...
Sorry about being lame and not posting anything for a week! :\ I've been gardening my butt off, getting ready for a craft fair, moving furniture around...Tons of random chores and errands! Ugh, just thinking about it all is making me tired! But...I did get to mall with my girlfriends, and go out for drinks this weekend, so...I did get some relaxation in :)
Unfortunately, I don't have anything brand new as far as art goes, but I do have some eBay auctions running right now that I had not posted previously...So I will update you all on those right now!
The first is an original ACEO illustration- "Over the Rainbow" is one of my new favorites! A pretty (and tasteful) nude, sitting on a fluffy cloud, under a rainbow. On her parisol perches a little bird. She is an original ACEO (Art Cards, Editions, and Originals- 25" x 3.5") up for auction on eBay...She only has a few days left, and a few bids on her (but she is still under $5)...To see more info and details, please follow the link below the picture:

Another ACEO for auction on eBay- "Green Smile"- this ACEO is an open edition print of my original illustration...A sultry pin up, in green and black striped lingerie, holds a rather tantalizing purple hooka. She is also wearing a top hat, one of my favorite frivolous fashion accessories :) This print starts at a 99 cent bid...To see more, please follow the link below her picture:
"Green Smile" ACEO print auction
One last auction :) I've listed the original painting of "Raven 15" for auction- this piece was previously living in my darklingemily etsy shop, but I thought I'd try it in a different venue...This is indeed part of my ravens series, featuring simple black birds on colorful, abstract backgrounds. "Raven 15' is painted in acrylics on a 7" x 5" sheet of artist canvas, and is listed at a starting bid of just $9.99! To see the auction, and perhaps even bid, just visit the link below the picture:

Also, this is just a little reminder- my "Daydreaming Mermaid" original ACEO illustration ends tomorrow; she is still at a very reasonable price if you would like to make a bid ;) ;) To view her auction, just click the link below her picture:

Even though I do not have any new art, I do have some new Zazzle products :) There are some new posters/prints available, as well as some nifty new zombie t shirts! To see everything I've got, please click the link below the picture:

I swear, later this week I will have brand new art to show off, and more information regarding the craft fair I will be attending- offering lots of art (originals, prints, ACEOs, etc) and other goodies like bookmarks and free smiles, of course! But, for now, I am going to watch a movie about Jeffery Dahmer, eat some M+Ms, and futz around the studio.
xo!

I hope y'all are ready for some mermaids, cuz that's all I got going on tonight!
So, I have not been as prolific as I am accustomed to being, which is causing me slight anxiety; however I have still managed to get two pieces completed this week :D They are both mermaid-related, both in mixed media on bristol.
The first new one I will introduce is "Sunny"- she is a pretty blond mermaid, with a very rainbow-y tail! I created this piece simply to make me smile. I've also snuck in three little goldfish and a purple seahorse, as I find that mermaids like to have some friends around them :) "Sunny" is an original mixed media illustration (acrylic paints, colored pencils, and archival inks) measuring 5" x 7" on bristol. She is up for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of just $9.99- to read/see more details and make a bid, please visit the link below Sunny's picture:
"Sunny" original rainbow mermaid fantasy art auction
So...this next piece is very...interesting. It was truly a whim that I just sketched out right away, without any thought to whether or not I should be persuing it with color...Which I did anyway! LOL! "Mermaid Mud Wrestling" is also an original mixed media illustration, measuring 7" x 5" on bristol...This piece is listed in my darklingemily etsy shop; to see more and perhaps even purchase it, please visit the link below the picture:
"Mermaid Mud Wrestling" original fantasy illustration
Of course, this particular piece has invaded my common sense, and has triggered a number of other images that will eventually become a small series- sports that aren't really sports, featuring assorted fantasy creatures and characters. I've already begun working on the next illustration in the series- the wet t shirt fairy. Yes, it's fresh and rude, and no, I do not care. I'm drawing it. So there. :P And with that said, I think it might be time to get back to her, seeing as I might as well take advantage of this motivation while it's here!
xo!

Good Evening!
This post won't be too long- I am super tired and ready to settle in for the night. Before I do that, I have two new dragon paintings to share!
The first new painting is titled simply "Rainbow", and features eight dragons! One in six colors of the rainbow (I left out indigo...) and two white ones! Again, this is an original acrylic painting, 12" x 9.75" on a sheet of canvas. It is up in my darklingemily etsy shop, if you would like to see detail pictures and such:

Also new in my darklingemily shop is a smaller original painting. "Candle Light" measures 5" x 7" (acrylic on canvas panel)- the flame of this candle is actually a tiny dragon! To see the detail pictures, please follow the link below the picture:

That's all for now. Please accept my sleepy apologies about being so unentertaining. I've been painting my butt off; later this week I will have more cool art to share!
xo!
