Hope you all had a wonderful weekend...:)
After much inner debate, I decided to get off my lazy tukas and get a blog post up! Actually, not lazy, per se, just taking a few hours in the evening to relax a bit, and get some mental sorting done...
Blah blah! I have two new original ACEOs to share, and a bunch of new 99 cent print auctions as well! Plus, a new Facebook Exclusive auction, an update on some projects, and a bit of mindless chatter!
So...on with it then. I have two brand new ACEO illustrations to share! The first new original ACEO is titled "Serpentine Sorceress"- a powerful dark haired woman and her two dragons are gathering magic...beware! This piece is also up for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of just $5! To see more, and perhaps even make a bid, just visit the link below the picture:

The other is "For Her Crown" features a sweet young lady (in a polka dot dress) and a beautiful 'fancy' bird. This original 2.5" x 3.5" fantasy illustration is up for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of only $5! You can read more details about this piece, see more pictures, and even make a bid at the link below the picture:

And, as always, I have a handful of new 99 cent ACEO print auctions! There are a few jester pin ups (Apple Turnover and Pumpkin Pie) and some random fantasy Psychopomps and Icy Eyes). To see all the art listings I have on one page, just visit this link:
All Emily's current eBay art listings!
Speaking of auctions, I have put up another Facebook Exclusive Auction HERE on my fan page! It is for a set of hand made Ralphie items- specifically a plush Ralphie, a polymer clay sculpted Ralphie, and an original painted Ralphie ACEO! All the information on how to bid (and more about the items and such) is at the auction listing, and this auction ends on Friday, September 10, 2010, at midnight (EST).
The link below the picture will take you directly to the Ralphie auction:

Now, on to other things...I am currently working on my latest jester pin up illustration :) FINALLY! I feel like it's been forever, though in reality it has been but a few weeks. At any rate, she is a Red Velvet Cake Jester, still pondering a title, and you can see the work in progress pics in my Facebook album here:

Also, I have ordered the precopy of my compilation "The Little Book of Zombie Limericks", and I simply CANNOT wait for it to show up in the mail so I can approve it! Once I have okay-ed it, I will be making it available to the public...So, hopefully very soon now! It is essentially all three volumes of my zombie limericks (you know, the ones available through my etsy shop here...), plus a sh*tload of new limericks and illustrations! Dudes, it's like 80 pages hahaha! I'm so psyched. :D
I spent all afternoon painting, it is so nice to have time for that LOL! Aside from the new jester piece, I am working on my ACEO series of women with dragons...which I really should get back to about now :)
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:

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:

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!

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!
