Again! I am so sorry you guys. I am really bogged with work and stuff, just trying to make it through one minute at a time here! Crazyland! Amazingly, I seem to have endless energy and decently upbeat spirits lately, for the most part, so that is helpful! I also happen to have some new art and info on a one night show!
I will start with the brand new art! Since I've taken on a handful of commissions and one slightly involved project, I haven't had a lot of time to make art for art's sake. Though I did find some time recently, and painted up a pretty little Halloween witch! "Flight of the Jack-o-Lanterns" is an original 5" x 7" acrylic painting, featuring a sexy pin up style witch and two flying Jack-o-Lanterns! This particular painting is up for auction on my Facebook page- she is currently sitting at $12, and bidding ends Monday night, October 3rd, at 11pm EST. You can check out the auction (and bid if you like, and share if you like, too!) at the link below her picture:
"Flight of the Jack-o-Lanterns" original Halloween pin up painting auction (FB exclusive!)
NOW...(dun dun dun)...I will be MAKING A PUBLIC APPEARANCE!! OMG!! AHHH!! Yes, it is TRUE, I will be crawling out from my stacks of papers, piles of fabric, and leaving my kitteh home by himself for a night of art and debauchery, burlesque style! Being the featured (visual) artist for Bon Appétit Burlesque's Ghoulesque Halloween show is, like, THE COOLEST! I am psyched!!
The short of it: Friday, October 14th, at the Deuce (World War II Club) Northampton, Doors at 8pm, show starts at 9pm (come early and chat with me!)-- ALL the info can be found at the Facebook page for the event:
Bon Appétit Burlesque's Ghoulesque
I will be there, all dressed up like most of you have never seen, showing a selection of my art, enjoying the show, and hanging out! If you are in the area, have $10(ish), are over 21 (sorry kids!) and like awesomeness, please come out!!
Okay, now one more little bit of art before I get on to the next thing (which should really be bed, but...probably not). I have listed the original illustration of "Napping Sea Monster" for auction on eBay. This is a piece I did last year, and I just love her so much, she is so pretty! Ah, dork! Yes, she is a beautiful purple haired mermaid, cradling a tiny sea dragon monster in her arms- he is napping! So sweet! This original illustration is 10" x 8" in mixed media- all the info is at the link below the picture, bidding starts at $30!

Also, a whole bunch of other art auctions on eBay, ACEO prints, some relisted originals (Frankenstein dragon!)...Please click HERE to see them all!
Alrighty then....Have the best weekend you've ever had! I mean it!!

OKay...
I know, I know...I suck. I totally skipped last week's post, but I swear to you I was working! I was also sick and exhausted, so...I had to take it easy for once. I don't slow down unless my body forces me to, and it was saying "STOP!". I feel much better now, and I have some new art to share! (Finally!)
First up is a painting that just came to me in an instant and I could not ignore him- "Franken Dragon"! He is an original 4" x 6" acrylic painting on canvas, up for auction on eBay with a starting bid of just $15! I am in love with this piece, so if you love him too, better consider snapping him up now, I may just have to add him to my personal collection...;) The link to the auction listing (with more info and pictures, plus bidding!) can be found below the picture:
"Franken Dragon" original Halloween fantasy art
Another brand new original- "Witch Dragon"- it's all Halloween up in this biatch hah! So, "Witch Dragon" is an original ACEO painting (2.5" x 3.5" acrylics on canvas)...This little dragon is up for auction on eBay as well, and for a low starting bid of $5! To see the listing, and perhaps adopt this silly little thing into your home, please visit the link below the picture:

Now, this third dragon was a commission piece, and as of right now I am not offering any sort of reproductions of this image. This may change at some point, however, I did want to show it off, as technically it is my first official zombie dragon! This piece is titled "Let Freedom Roar". I will post more information on the project this image is a part of once there is something to be told...
But...if you want to peak your curiosity, check out this website: http://www.thesestrangeworlds.com
Also, I have been listing more $5 prints in my etsy shops- this round I am working on my zombietoes etsy shop! All 4" x 6" prints are just $5! To see all my available prints, just click HERE! More to come in the next few days, too ;)
Okay, I gotta drag my butt off to bed...Otherwise, I am afraid I will just keep working!
xo!

Hi hi!
Whew! While I am typing this, it is currently 8:15 am and I am trying to *not fall behind* on my work...phhsssh, that is futile, I should know by now. I did get part of a commission piece finished up last night (barring approval) and have a bunch more from that project to work on, as well as another separate piece...and lots of other stuff! But enough of that for now. I have NEW ART to share! well, one new piece. :\ Better than nothing! Also- 4" x 6" open edition art prints for $5 each, some older original pieces up for auction on eBay, and perhaps some rambling...
Allow me to introduce the completed "Dead Monster Bouquet"- she is an original 8.5" x 11" illustration (inks, acrylics, and pencil on bristol). I started this piece in a really bad mood, and in my head she was much darker...at least at first. But because I do not have the luxury of working on one piece all the way through at the moment, I had to keep putting her aside. Days passed, and I wasn't in a terrible mood anymore. Some colors peeked through. Bouquets should be colorful, even if they are made of dead scary things with sharp claws and angry mouths. Also, I should note two things about this piece- first being that I had intended for the ink on the background monsters to run and bleed, so...I am aware of that. I had hoped for a little more bleed, but what can you do. Also, no monsters were harmed in the creation of this piece- the dead ones were "ethically collected after death" and "preserved in an ecologically friendly" fashion. The original "Dead Monster Bouquet" illustration is currently up for auction on eBay, with a low starting bid of $50 (and a Buy It Now price of $75)...To see more pictures, read about her a bit, and perhaps even add her to your collection, please visit the link below the picture:
"Dead Monster Bouquet" original dark fantasy illustration
Okay. That's all for brand new art. BUT! I have some other, older (and still viable!) originals up for auction on eBay- ONE OF THEM IS A ZOMBIE PAINTING! You must know that it is not often that I offer my *original* zombie pieces up for sale, so...take advantage! This particular round it is my great big (16" x 20") "Green Means GO!" acrylic painting on gallery wrapped canvas. You can see all the auction details and such at the link below the picture:
"Green Means GO!" Original Zombie Silhouette dark art painting
I've also got an original jester pin up illustration up for auction- "Caramelized" is a sweet and delicious temptress, outfitted in a suit made of caramel! MMM freakin' delicious! Ha! She is an original 8" x 10" artwork (acrylic paints, pencils, and inks on bristol)...Check out the link for all her auction info- $30. starting bid!

Also, a bunch of other wonderful pieces- both originals and prints- are up for auction as well! To see them all, just click HERE!
Uh! I told you there was a lot today :) I still have to fill you in on my 4" x 6" prints! I am now offering open edition art prints of some of my favorite pieces for just $5 each! I will have more available in the next few weeks, too- but for now, if you buy any two 4" x 6" prints, you get one 4" x 6" print free! Just put three in your cart, and DO NOT PAY ME until I adjust your invoice! SO, your $15 purchase will turn into $10, and you still get everything you wanted! Woo! (that does not include shipping, which is as low as I can make it) Additionally, if you happen to purchase a 5/$10 art print set, I will also send you a free 4" x 6" print of your choice! Just add your free 4" x 6" print to your cart, and again- DO NOT PAY ME UNTIL I CHANGE YOUR INVOICE! LOL!! I think I will just run this sale until Next Wednesday. Or until I run out of prints, whichever happens first. Probably Wednesday, then. So...Check out the link below the picture for all my 4" x 6" art prints!

Well, this is getting rather long, and I have a crapton of work to get to, so I don't know that I will ramble. I will say this, though- earlier this week, I was sure I would not have time to get a piece finished to post, so I took my camera around with me and sort of documented a usual week in my life. I am wanting to put together a post about my daily life, because...most of you do not know that side, and I think you might find it interesting? More interesting than I do, most likely. So...I will try to get that together at some point very soon.
xo!

Gah! No time to sleep! Ahhhh!!
The sad thing is, I don't even have any new art to share. Well, I have some work in progress photos. I thought I had better post something anyway...Oh, yes, I also have a Facebook Fanpage Giveaway going on this weekend! And some rambling, of course, because what else would I post, having no art? Haha..ha..ha.
First of all... I am working on a few new ladies...I had to take a break from the dragons, I needed a little sexy in my life. So, there are some work in progress photos of my latest pin up illustration "Dead Monster Bouquet" up in my FB Work in Progress album HERE along with a line sketch of another piece I am slowly filling in. I am hoping to have these two strange and beautiful women completed next week...We will see what happens between my commission work, my day job, and my lack of sleep. ;)
Now, I am also holding a giveaway on my Facebook Art Page, as I have reached 400 "likes" and it is high time to celebrate SOMETHING LOL! So, I am giving away a handful of free art- all the info on how to enter and what you could win are at the link below the picture:
Darkling Treasures Facebook Giveaway \
Before I start my ramble, allow me to mention the ongoing parade of art for auction on eBay HERE- ACEO Prints from 99 cents, ACEO Originals from $5, and assorted original paintings and illustrations from $15!
Ramble ramble...I am working on a lot of commission stuff lately, and with the day job getting busier (I live in a college town, and all the students are flooding back in, making work BUSY!), I have not had all that much time to mess around in the studio or even in any sort of social aspect. I seem to be fighting with myself a lot lately, mostly over the overview of my art business and it needing a great big overhaul. I am trying to find time to get my website under control. I am trying even harder to find time to sleep! On the upside, I am getting my Mondays back in the studio, and...I am about 2/3 of the way prepared for Halloween- at least art wise. I don't know about a costume. PSssh, who am I kidding? I will probably just sit at home and paint. (What a derk.)
xo!

Greetings from Emily-Land!
Well...Firstly, I am in an area that may or may not be hit by Hurricane Irene, so...it is very possible I could lose power for a few days, in which case...I will not be online. Just a warning. At this point I am brainstorming things to do when the power goes out...as i like to be as productive as possible, regardless of the situation! BUT! For now, I have THREE new original paintings to share!
Onto art! First up, I have two brand new, adorable, ORIGINAL dragon ACEO paintings up for auction on eBay! The first is titled "Spectrum"- a wide-eyed, white dragon is giving off all the colors in the spectrum! The original painting (2.5" x 3.5"- acrylic on canvas) starts with a $5 bid- to see all the info and perhaps even adopt him into your home, please visit the link below his picture:

The other new ACEO is a little bit autumn-esque/Halloween-y! This one is titled "My Pumpkin"- this wee dragon has found the most beautiful pumpkin in the whole patch! This little ACEO (3.5" x 2.5"- acrylics on canvas) is also up for auction with a starting bid of $5. To see more, just follow the link:
"My Pumpkin" original dragon fantasy ACEO painting
There are many more dragons strewn all over my studio, in various stages of complete, so you can be expecting more of them over the next few weeks!
Now...one more eBay art auction- "Tea Time" is a new set of my 2" square portrait paintings! This set features two pretty, but slightly creepy girls, telling you to come and have tea with them! This set of two original paintings is framed and matted- up for auction with a starting bid of $15. To see all the info and better pictures, please visit the link below:
"Tea Time" set of two mini fantasy portraits- matted and framed
So that is all for new art at this point. Of course, I do have additional art auctions running (always!)- you can see them all by clicking HERE! Plus all the wonderful creations in my darklingemily etsy shop and my zombietoes etsy shop! ;)
I must admit, I am a bit discombobulated, as I have some larger projects on my plate, and a mess of a studio, a mess of a schedule, a mess of a life...Everything will all be sorted through and put back in its place soon, and things will return to the usual half-crazed instead of full-crazed! Until then, Why not enjoy some of my silliness with a brand new comic:
"Mad Bulls"- New kitchen comic by Emily!
For my fellow East Coasters- please be safe and...see you on the other side...

Hi all!
Sorry, I know it's just been one day longer than usual, but I feel like I've lived three weeks in one...Sadly, one of my kitties has left this world, and so I am dealing with that loss, trying to take a little extra time out of my schedule to just...be. :( But...on a happier note, I do have some new art to share, a new comic strip, and some fun stuff on Zazzle!
Now, the new paintings: "Storm Cloud City"- a little 6" x 4" sky scene- a (tastefully) nude angel sitting on a storm cloud, with a floating sky castle in the distance. I really like how this piece turned out, and am rather impressed with all the details I could get into such a small space. She is available for in depth viewing and purchase through my darklingemily etsy shop at the link below the picture:
"Storm Cloud City" original nude angel + castle fantasy art
Also new- "Speckle"- a cuddly, colorful, cute creature of the dragon variety- big, bright eyes, and a slight look of trouble about this one...This is an original 4" x 6" acrylic painting, available for auction on ebay now! A $15 starting bid can potentially get him into your home! To see the auction listing and more pictures, please visit the link below:
"Speckle" original big eye dragon painting
As always, I have a bunch of other wonderful art auctions running- prints and originals! To see them all, kindly click HERE!
Finally, after a long wait...I have put up a new comic on my Facebook page HERE! These are just silly things that happen, that I think about, and that stick in my head and make me smile. Many of them are lewd and I am not going to apologize for that. But I will apologize for not apologizing (sorry!) Anyhoo...Here is the link to the latest:
"Heavy Cream" comic by Em
My Zazzle Shop has been recently updated with a TON of new buttons and mugs! Also, some new Doodle speakers! To see all the fun new things, just click the link below the picture:

Mmmm, I think that is about all for the moment. I do not feel much like rambling tonight. I think I will just go play with some paints for a bit.
xo!

Greetings ladies and germs :)
I have a brand new dragon painting to share (he's a little bit creepy!) plus "Rabbit Ears Addendum" on T shirts, a very special etsy treasury, and some random odds and ends...
Firstly, the dragons have returned to my studio, after a brief departure to lands unknown and unspoken of...They have sent only a few of their kind back, but these few dragons *insist* upon Halloween related art in their favor. Being dragons, I shall not deny them their every whim, so...here is one:
"Underbrush" is an original 4" x 6" acrylic painting (on a sheet of artist canvas)- a candy-corn colored critter in a creepy thicket...He is listed for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of just $15! To see all the details, and perhaps place a bid, just visit the link below his picture:
"Underbrush" original creepy dragon art
In addition to aforementioned painting, I have a bunch of ACEO prints up, all at 99 cent starting bids- there are some newer pieces up currently, inclluding my pin up robot "Recalibrate"! To see them all, just click HERE!
About time for a new T shirt...I have "Rabbit Ears Addendum" available on all sorts of styles and colors in my Zazzle Shop- this is the little blue bunny with the antennae hat, sitting in front of a static TV screen...Check out the shirts at the link below the picture:

It also helps the individual shop owners. :) Account or no, check it out (pretty please?):
