Zombie Limericks Compilation Book, Human Cannonball art, Dragon + Fairy painting auction, and Raven stationery

Hi Hi! I have quite a bit of stuff to share today, so please bare with me (or is it bear? I dunno...)

Some new eBay auctions- one of which is an original painting! Some raven stationery, and...news on my zombie limericks!


So, new art auctions are as follows: I have listed the original painting "Inkling 4- Summer Night" with a $9.99 starting bid (on eBay). This is an original dragon and fairy fantasy painting, measuring 5" x 7" in acrylics on a sheet of artist canvas. It was originally listed for $32 in my darklingemily etsy shop, so...now would be a wonderful time to try to get this piece for a lot less! More information on the art, pictures, and bidding can be found at the link below the picture:

Another new original artwork up for auction is "Human Cannonball"- part of my circus & side show series. This is an original 3.5" x 2.5" illustration (aka an ACEO), and bidding for this piece starts at just $5! For more info and such, please visit the link below the picture:

Since it has been chilly here of late, with autumn hiding right behind the trees (I SEE YOU!) I've been feeling rather raven-esque...and, in pondering why a raven is like a writing desk, I thought it would be fitting to make up some stationery using my raven paintings. So, I now have available, through my Zazzle Shop, customizable raven address/shipping labels, note and greeting cards, and even stationery paper! More to come, as well, as time allows! To see all of my raven stationery items, just visit the link below the picture:

Also, I would like to remind you all of my latest Facebook Exclusive Auction- the original illustration of "Cupcakery"- my pin up cupcake jester- is up for bids on my Faceboon Fan Page. She has no bids yet, thus she remains at $0. If you have any interest in placing a bid to own this original beauty, just click on the link below the picture- that will take you right to the auction photo, with all the information you need to make an informed bid ;)

Now, for some really exciting news! (well, it's exciting to me, anyway!) I am very pleased to announce that my "Little Book of Zombie Limericks" is now a real, live book! It has it's own ISBN number and everything! Also, this is the compilation book, so there are over 75 zombie limericks, over 60 illustrations, and a full color paperback cover, featuring my "Procession to Breakfast" painting! I am soooooo psyched! YAY!! LOL!! *ahem*...So, this book is available for order NOW- you can view a preview of some of the pages, read a little more about the book, get specifications (size, paper, etc) and even purchase your very own copy at the link below the picture:

Of course, I would be just overjoyed if any of you would like to share the link with your friends...just food for thought ;)


So now I am working on some new things- more dragon + nymph ACEOs, the journals/address books/dayplanners I mentioned in the last blog post, jesters (of course!), thinking about rearranging some parts of my website, my secret project, and a bajillion other small things that I have written down somewhere (lest I forget...like I am doing right now heh heh!)...

xo!

Raven 12 + 13 paintings, stationery, + Dragon Original art auction!

Ooh, I was almost lazy enough to not post tonight, but then thought better of it! This is pretty much the first time I've sat down all day, so, once my butt hit the chair, I was like "ooh, that's sooo nice, maybe I'll just take OOONNE more day off" but...It is not to be :)


Anyway, I have some new paintings to show off tonight, plus another eBay auction (an original dragon painting!)...


First, two new ravens! Yes, I know, it is an obsession at this point...I am sure my mind will turn to another subject soon enough, but for now..."Raven 12" and "Raven 13"! "Raven 12" is slightly different that most of the others in the series, with a more defined "blackness"- in the way of swirly Celtic-like vines! I love this raven, he's got a bit of a blue undertone to him, and the background reminds me of going camping and burning marshmallows...mmmm! At any rate, this is an original 8" x 10" acrylic painting on a canvas panel. He is up at sale price in my darklingemily etsy shop. The link is below the picture:

"Raven 13" is more along the lines of most in the series- two dark birds before quite a colorful sunset. This is a smaller 5" x 7" original acrylic painting, on a canvas sheet. It is also listed at sale price until the end of the month- to see detail pictures, and perhaps even adopt it, please follow the link below the picture:

While I am on the raven note, I should mention that I have made up some raven stationery and note cards- they are in my Zazzle shop, and I will be creating more stationery items with some of the other ravens this weekend :)


As far as eBay goes, I have a handful of original paintings currently listed, all at a starting bid of $35 or less! Crazy! Heh heh! Tonight's listing is also an original painting, my little "Spelunker" dragon. He's a small 6" x 8" acrylic painting, featuring a big eyed white dragon and a bunch of shady bat roommates (or cavemates, rather!). He is up for a 7 day auction, with a starting bid of just $15 and free shipping! To see the listing/make a bid, please follow the link below his picture:

(I took a little break from typing this out to make a cup of hot chocolate; it's yummy!) On a somewhat poopy note- the super awesome zombie flip book idea that I have been working on is being *really difficult* and taking up a lot of my time and energy...After much internal struggling, I have come to the conclusion that it is not a good idea for me to continue working on this project for the time being. It was a good idea in theory; in practice, it has proven to be a great big pain in the arse. I am sad to say that I feel like a bit of a failure at not being able to overcome this challenge. It's really more a case of not *wanting* to deal with it any longer. I need to spend my time on more fruitful endeavors. With the amount of time I've spent on this stupid thing, I could have painted many, many pieces of art, or gotten a lot more work done on one of my other books. So, that being the case...i am on to other things :) Perhaps someday I will revisit this idea, hopefully with more patience and energy ;). So, until next time...

xo!
