Good evening!
Well, it has been a slow week, at least art wise, but I have been making pizzas up the wazoo...Ugh, the thought of greasy cheese in this heat makes me a little sick LOL!! At any rate, I do have two new ACEOs to share with you, and a reminder about my Facebook exclusive art giveaway contest...
So...new ACEOs! Yay! The first is a fantasy illustration- "Hot Air" is an original ACEO (2.5" x 3.5") featuring a lovely blond nymph girl, enjoying the rather whimsical skyscape of multicolored hot air balloons. She is up for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of just $5! To see more, just check out the link below her picture:

The other new ACEo is the latest in my Circus & Sideshow series- the "Fiji Mermaid"! This is no regular mermaid art- it's a bit on the creepy side, but I wanted to keep with the vintage circus feel, so...yeah. :) There is a bit of history + info about the Fiji Mermaid in the auction listing- this ACEO is listed at a $5 starting bid. To read more and perhaps even make a bid for this oddity, just visit the link below the picture;

As usual, I have a handful of other auctions up on eBay, including TWO sea turtle themed pieces, each with a portion of the final sale price going to help the Gulf Restoration Network! To see all my listings on one page, just click here!
I have finished up my latest jester- she is Ice Cream themed- though I have yet to scan her in and get prints posted for sale. I will try my very best to get her up ASAP! She's very cute- a black haired harlequin, dreaming of ice cream cones :) Now I am pondering my next jester, and also the next addition to my Dragon Zodiac series (thinking about Taurus)...Also, working on getting more zombie limericks written for the compilation book...I wrote 18 of them last week, and thought with the other 27 plus illustrations that would be sufficient. However, I have since chosen to put a whole bunch more into the compilation book, so...Looks like I have my work cut out for me! Even though they are just silly little rhymes, it is actually rather difficult to make them work just right, and also make them funny (which, in my mind, is the cornerstone of any good limerick). At this point, I am afraid that I will run out of ideas. :( So...I might have to restock my Netflix list with LOTS and LOTS of "research material" aka zombie movies LOL!!
Oh, yes, and allow me to remind you all about my Facebook Exclusive art giveaway contest! The end date is drawing near (it ends Wednesday, July 14th, at midnight EST) so get your comments in now!! To see the details of the contest and make your comment, just click here!
xo!

Oh, how the time flies!
As you may have guessed, I have some new art tonight, as well as some new products in my Zazzle shop!
For the new art, I have two new ACEOs (Art Cards, Editions, and Originals) up for auction on eBay. The first is a little pin up illustration, of a pretty girl reading a book..."Studious" is an original illustration, in acrylic paints and inks, up for auction with a starting bid of just 99 cents! To see her listing, and perhaps make a bid, just visit the link below her picture:

The other new ACEO is one you may find a bit familiar- I made a tank top of "Purple Daze" about a week ago, and put it up in my Zazzle shop. Now, you can own the original illustration- she is also up for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of 99 cents! To see more, and make a bid, just check out the link below her picture:

There are new things in my Zazzle shop as well! For instance, stickers featuring the dragon for my "Inkling 3- Pedestal" painting, and tote bags with my "Monarch" big eye dragon image on them! To see all the new items I have put up, just follow the link below the picture:

Now, to give you a little update of the Blogmanina Scavenger Hunt:
Tomorrow (Thursday, July 1), the Blogmania Scavenger Hunt will begin; by participating, you could win a $100 gift certificate to a participating shop of your choice!! I will be posting the complete list of shops tomorrow...Remember, you have to find this image in every shop listed:
I will also be posting a hint as to where in *my* shop I have hidden this image, and more information...But if you *just cannot wait* to start the hunt, there is a sneak peek of the shops on The Clever Mommy's Blog!
As usual, I am up to my eyeballs in work, but...I have gotten ALL of my illustrations 100% completed for the new zombie limericks! Woo!! Though I will never get into my head that it might be a good idea to create zombies in MODERATION, rather than working on them furiously in every spare minute I get for days at a time...It does make for some awfully strange dreams. LOL!!
Speaking of strange, I am plugging away at a bunch of ACEOs in my new circus/sideshow series. Many are still in the "pencil skritchings" stage, a few have been inked, and some even have a few layers of color. I couldn't decide which to start on first, so I am making both the circus and the sideshow, so, expect to see art ranging from carosel horses to the Fiji Mermaid, and all the weirdness in between very soon!
xo!
