Hi!
Sorry it's been a little longer between posts than I would like, but I have been super busy getting stuff in order for Christmas and all that...
So, this post isn't going to be all that long, but I do have a few things to share tonight...
First, I have a new ACEO print auction up; this is an art card version of my original big eye "Bee Dragon" fantasy painting...He is a dragon with a "honeybee outfit" on! I just love the background on this one- honeycombs!!
To see more detail pictures, read the blurb, and perhaps even make a bid on this little guy, please follow the link below the picture:
"Bee Dragon" big eye fantasy ACEO print
Let me see here...I made cookies yesterday, and I ate a few too many today, so my brain is all sugared out...very hard to concentrate and think of things more than 2 minutes into the future...Dern cookies. I just cannot resist them!
Oh! I have finished up a new "sexy jester" pin up piece...This one is rather simple, with no apparent dessert near her...BUT, her entire outfit has been made of caramel! So, I have titled her "Caramelized". Even though she is simple in her theme and colors, I still really like her...it doesn't hurt that she is super cute, either!
Here's a small picture of her:
As with the rest of my pin ups, I am not selling the original (in fact if you are in desperate need of your very own original pin up, you are more than welcome to contact me with your ideas)...And I do not have prints of her up on my website yet, but...sometime soon after next week I should be updating my web art gallery with a bunch of new prints and posters...In the meantime, you can send me a message to print one of these pretty ladies up for you...8" x 10" limited edition prints are $16, and 11" x 14" posters are $19.95. If you do happen to email me about this, please be sure to specify which kind of print you would like- L/E or poster ;)
Now, I am back to my big (and seemingly never-ending) stack of "Little Books of Zombie Limericks" to fold, sew, and get packed up to ship all over the place...And I have some work to get done on a small dragon/lotus/lily pad painting...
xo!

Good evening all...
I have been super busy working on some commission pieces, but I still managed to get a few new things listed today (yay!)
I have a few new dragon bookmarks up in my etsy shop- these are all prints of my original dragon paintings, cropped to fit "bookmark" format, of course!
They are $4.50 apiece, with my usual free shipping- to see all the ones I have available at the moment, please follow the link below the picture:
New Dragon Bookmarks and other book related goodies
I also have another ACEO print of my very popular "Earth Dragon" piece up for auction on eBay tonight...I have made peace with the fact that they are jerks (for the time being) and have stated as such in the payment section of all my listings there...If you are not familiar with what I am talking about, you can view any of my listings to read all about it :)
Anyhoo...To see the auction listing for this new ACEO (3.5" x 2.5") print of "Earth Dragon", please follow the link below the picture:
"Earth Dragon" ACEO print ($5.00 starting bid, free shipping)
And...as promised, I have finally gotten a set of zombie bookplates up in my zombietoes etsy shop...These bookplates are personalized with your name (or the name of someone you know with a great love for zombies), self adhesive, and come in sets of ten...All the other details can be found in the listing, the link is below the picture:
Zombie Mob personalized bookplate set $5.00 per set, free shipping
There are some new posters available in my zazzle shop...Some dragons, and some jesters! Also, a few new mugs, one with my little "Ralphie" bird on it!! I just love him so so much...To see all my new merchandise on Zazzle, just click here!
Can you tell I am utterly exhausted? No attitude tonight, no funny jokes...Please do accept my apologies. I still have miles to go before I sleep. Mind you, I am NOT complaining, I love my work, and I am a little sad that I even get tired at all :) I just feel bad that I am not all that entertaining tonight.
One more thing I would like to share before I sign off for the evening...This is a piece I drew for my lawyer...He's a pretty cool guy who saved my ass earlier this year, and I thought I should show my appreciation to him by gifting him with a "sexy" Lady Justice :)
Eventually, she will be available as prints on my website...Sometime after Christmas...Not sure exactly when, as right after Christmas is my father's birthday, then New Years, then a few friends birthdays, my own, and a few more...So, I might be pretty drunk/hung over for a few weeks heh heh! Suffice to say, it is really the only time of the year that I actually drink...:)
xo!

Hi Hi!
It's snowing again :) Right, duh, Emily, it's WINTER! Hee hee hee!
Well, I've got some new dragons to share! First, though, I want to talk a little bit about something that has been slightly bothersome for me, in regards to eBay...
Whether I am late on the draw or not, it has come to my attention (via a very friendly and honest customer with wonderful communication skills) that eBay has changed the way the invoicing system is set up...
Here is the blurb I have added to the payment section for all my listings, as of last night:
"It used to be that I was able to have control over my own invoicing schedule, but eBay has changed that option, so I am no longer able to offer the ideal of waiting for other auctions to end before invoicing. Sadly, eBay will send out an invoice for any given item, all on their own- I do not have any control over this; they also send out a warning within 3 days of auction end if payment has not been made on an item. Again, I have no control over this function! :( . So, I guess it goes without saying (but I will say it anyway) that I am now forced to invoice after each auction ends. To avoid getting a rather rude warning email from eBay itself (please know that I would never dream of treating my customers with any sort of rudeness, though eBay seems to think that is just fine), payments must be made within 3 days of auction end. :( Again, I am truly sorry about this feature. "
Even though I feel a bit like an arse for not catching on to this whole fiasco sooner (I do have to find time in my day to actually make art, I cannot spend all my time online reading every wee little change that eBay makes, as they make a LOT of them, all the time), I am trying my very best to rectify any wounded customers...so, if you are a customer that has bid on any of my auctions, won, and then received a rude warning email from ebay, please accept my apologies on behalf of eBay! If you'd like to discuss this matter with me further, you may email me. As of yet, I have not decided whether or not to continue listing on eBay. It is still up in the air. :(
And now, onto happier things...:) This little ACEO print was listed for auction on eBay Friday evening (before I knew about their recent silliness)..."Protect and Prosper" is an art card print (3.5" x 2.5") of my original dragon painting...This particular painting lives in my personal, not-for-sale collection, but you can get this print of him for a starting bid of 45 (free shipping!). To read his blurb, see detail pictures, and perhaps make a bid, please follow the link below his picture:
"Protect and Prosper" dragon and treasure ACEO print auction
Now...For a brand new ORIGINAL dragon painting! For those of you who are members of my Facebook Fanpage, you may have seen a work in progress picture of this little guy..."Vineyard" is an original dragon painting- a small dragon in a grape vineyard! I do suggest you visit the listing to read the blurb, if you'd like a good laugh ;)
He is listed for sale in my darklingemily etsy shop, with free shipping! Again, to view the listing for the blurb, detail pics, and perhaps to adopt him, please follow the link below the picture:
"Vineyard" original dragon fantasy art
So...that's about all for the moment. I am working on a new batch of dragon bookmarks, but have run out of tassels for them, so I will have to make some of my own...Also, working on a new jester piece! And another dragon painting! Also, brainstorming some more Cartoon Aquarium babies...
xo!

Oh, I got a lot accomplished today...
Of course, most of it was "behind the scenes" stuff...and starting some paintings...brainstorming...and I cleaned my studio and put all my laundry away after two days of it sitting in the basket and me having to pick through it to find what I want to wear LOL!
Anyhow, tonight I have a small sampling of art to share with you all...I think I will start with the eBay stuff!
First, I have a new ACEO auction listed tonight- this is an original zombie painting, in acrylics on a small sheet of canvas (2.5" x 3.5")- it is titled "Arise" and is up for a $5.00 starting bid, with free shipping of course! To see his listing with detail pics and short blurb, and perhaps even make a bid, please follow the link below his picture:
"Arise" original zombie silhouette ACEO painting
He is a pseudo-companion piece to my earlier "Pigtail Zombe" ACEO painting; she did not sell at acution, so I have listed her in my zombietoes etsy shop if you are interested in that piece:)
Also newly listed on eBay tonight is one of the paintings from my dragon element series- this one is "Fire Dragon", and it is the ORIGINAL painting! It is up at a fixed price of $55, for 30 days or until it is sold, BUT!! I have activated the "Make Best Offer" option, so feel free to hit me up with your...best offer LOL!
Specifics of this piece are: it is painted in acrylics on an 8" x 10" canvas panel- All other info can be found on the listing, which is at the link below the picture:
"Fire Dragon" Original big eye fantasy painting
Now...For those of you anxiously awaiting the next piecec in my "Cartoon Aquarium" series, it is here!! Meet "Jon"- he's a badass sea turtle with a flaming mohawk! I was a little apprehensive about him at first, but the more of the painting I filled in, the more he grew on me...:)
You can read his little blurb, see detail pictures, and perhaps even adopt him as your own by visiting the link below his picture:
"Jon" the punk rock sea turtle Cartoon Aquarium painting
And if you are bored and messing around online, and have a great affinity for all things zombie, may I suggest you take a look at this short article I wrote (mainly to promote my zombie limerick books, but also to give you a better grasp on my weird obsession with zombies):
An Artist's Look at Zombies, in a Humorous Light
Well, I suppose it is time for me to be off to work on my latest painting- a small one of a dragon in a mess of grape vines.

Happy Sunday evening!
So...As most of you know, I have been dilligently working on my new book of zombie limericks (volume 3) and it is now completed and available for purchase!! I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am! I feel a little narcissistic that I am excited about something I made, but all the same...It's a very funny little book. My most funny yet, I think!
All of the important information, and ability to buy a copy, can be found at the link below the picture:
"The Little Book of Zombie Limericks" volume 3
And, of course, I might as well plug the other two volumes while I am at it :)
"The Little Book of Zombie Limericks" volume 1 is here
"The Little Book of Zombie Limericks" volume 2 is here
I also have the last jester pin up ACEO listed for auction tonight- she starts at just $0.99, with free shipping! This is a print of my original illustration "S'mores"- a firey red head on top of a giant s'mores sandwich! To view the auction listing, please follow the link below the picture:
"S'mores" sexy jester pin up ACEO print
Huh...for all the work I have been up to lately, I really don't have much to show for it! Of course, I could write about my numerous applications for art shows/publications and whatnot, but...that's boring stuff, as is all my accounting paperwork and half started (or half finished, I guess it depends on how you look at it) projects I've got in little piles around my desk...Some dragons, a few new 'Cartoon Aquarium' pieces, commission stuff, cards to make/mail...yeah...boring! LOL!
I suppose I will just end this little post and get back to the grind. Oh! For those of you who are signed up for my mailing list, I will be sending out a newsletter either tonight or tomorrow morning...It's all written up and ready to go, I just wanted to get a few more things in there before I sent it along!
Anyway...Rock out everyone!

Hi!
It's kinda late here, at least later than I normally post my blog...Impromptu study session with my friend- she is going to school for a degree in nursing, and has a test on Monday, so we were doing flashcards, and I got to learn all about colorectal cancer, ostomy bags, and all sorts of surgeries...Let me just say, everyone, EAT your VEGETABLES! And if you are over 50, GET REGULAR SCREENINGS!! You do NOT want to go through any of the stuff I just learned about. I won't go into details...Just trust me.
Anyway, enough of that grossness. I just have a few things to catch you up on tonight, as I want to get offline rather quickly and get some sketches finished up for volume #3 of my "Little Book of Zombie Limericks"! Very excited about this one, though I am having a problem focusing on the art. My mind seems to be stuck in writing mode still!
So...getting to the point here...Firstly, I have updated my website galleries with a few new images! Specifically, the fantasy art gallery with a handful of new, big eye dragons, and the sexy art gallery with my three latest pin up jester pieces! All of the images in all of my website galleries are available as limited edition art prints and/or posters, and everything purchased through my site ships for free! So...go browse my fancy schmancy online galleries to see if there may be something you would want to hang in your home/office/wherever.
Here's the link to the main gallery page, where you can choose which specific gallery (or galleries) you would like to view:
Darkling Treasures Main Gallery Menu
Once you have chosen which gallery you want to view, you can click on any of the thumbnails (little pictures) and you will be brought to a specific page for each image you click on, with a blurb about the piece, bigger/detail pics, print/poster information, and purchase options. If you have any questions or are looking for something you do not see on my website, there is a link at the bottom of each page that will allow you to email me directly!
Whew! I feel like I am going a mile a minute here. Please do forgive me. I have been working nonstop, and may actually be overtired and a little hyper. :)
So, now it is time for me to shamelessly self promote my eBay auction of the night- this is "Apple Turnover"- she is an ACEO (Art Trading Card- 3.5" x 2.5") Print of my original sexy jester pin up illustration. This auction, along with all my previous 'sexy jester' ACEO auctions, is listed with a starting big of just $0.99! This is a special "Emily is in the holiday spirit" listing...so, take advantage of it while it lasts! (I must admit, I am a bit of a grinch, and not very into the whole holiday "rush" thing, though I do love to spread good cheer and smiles all year...I don't like to decorate for Christmas or anything, but I can respect those of you who do...Honestly, I'd rather just sit in front of a fireplace with a kitty on my lap and a cup of hot chocolate, and of course cookies LOL!)
To see detail pictures of her, and perhaps even make a bid, please follow the link below the picture:
"Apple Turnover" jester pin up ACEO auction
Okay, I know this is rather lame, but that's all I have to share with y'all tonight, and it is growing ever closer to Smackdown time, so...it is time for me to bid you all a good night, and go relax, watch some wrestling, and get some drawings done!
xo!

Oh My Goodness...
I have been working my butt off!! Of course, from your standpoint, it doesn't look like I have been doing much, but that's because I haven't had much time for online play and such...:)
So, I will start with my new ACEOs, all listed in auction format on eBay...First, continuing with my 'holiday jester sale', I have listed some new ACEO prints, all starting at just $0.99, with my usual free shipping!
Here they are; you can click on the links below them to view their individual auctions (there you will be able to see better/more pictures, read my little blurbs about them, and make your bids!)
"Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" jester pin up ACEO auction
"Hot Cocoa" jester pin up ACEO auction
"Pumpkin Pie" jester pin up ACEO auction
I also have a new ORIGINAL painting ACEO up tonight; this is another dragon :) His name is "Phantom" and he is a white dragon, with some sort of magical globe thingy...He is an ORIGINAL acrylic painting, in acrylics on a tiny (2.5" x 3.5") sheet of canvas. The starting bid for "Phantom" is my usual $5 (with free shipping). To see his listing and perhaps place your bid to give him a new home, kindly follow the link below his picture:
"Phantom" original big eye dragon ACEO painting auction
I have also listed one of my ORIGINAL Cartoon Aqaurium paintings at a fixed price on eBay...You may remember "George" the octopus with bad eyesight, and his improvised monocle...Well, he is an original 8" x 10" acrylic painting, and is currently listed at $55 on eBay (free shipping!) To see the listing and perhaps adopt him into your home, or as a gift for someone else, please follow the link below his silly picture:
"George" Cartoon Aquarium green Octopus painting
This is not art related, but still very important to me...One of my high school friends now works for a lawfirm in Pennsylvania, and this year they are putting on a fundraiser for all animal-related projects...They need everyone's help to choose which organization will receive their donation this year, so if you would kindly take a few minutes out of your day to go read their blogpost and place a vote (all this is FREE btw, so you really have no excuse NOT to) for your favorite pet/animal nonprofit organization, she and I would both be very very happy...Not to mention all the animals! The more votes that are placed, the more funds will be donated, so...Go help some animals with 5 minutes of your time! You don't even have to leave your computer! Pretty cool, huh?
Here is the link to the blog post: The www.PADUIBlog.com Charity Giveaway
I have been hard at work on my "Little Book of Zombie Limericks- Volume 3"...I've got the bulk of the new limericks written out, and now just need to find a little time to write a few more and get them illustrated, formatted to print, printed, then photographed and listed hee hee...Because it has been so long since my last volume was written, I had almost forgotten what an insane place my imagination can be...I am kind of sick and twisted LOL!! But...At least I can make myself laugh!
So, those will hopefully be ready to list by next week. If you are interested in checking out the other two "Zombie Limericks" books, the are at the links below:
"Little Book of Zombie Limericks" volume 1
"Little Book of Zombie Limericks" volume 2
Tomorrow's plan is to get my website updates started (maybe finished, too, fingers crossed!), do some edits on my latest newsletter, and work on some new designs for new items in my poor, neglected Zazzle shop...It has been FAR too long now, really needs new fun stuff!! Of course, there is a lot of fun stuff already there (t shirts, posters, post cards, mugs, shoes, etc) so if you feel curious, go take a peek: Em's Zazzle Shop
Now, off to work what is left of my butt off, and make some cookies, I really want some COOKIES!! I think I have worked hard enough to justify deserving them LOL!!
OH!! Don't forget about all the original paintings on sale in my darklingemily etsy shop ;) ;)
xo!

Good evening all!
Okay, tonight I have some very special auctions to share! I am auctioning off ACEO prints of ALL of my sexy jesters this week, and each jester auction will start at just $0.99, with my usual free shipping!
The two I currently have listed are as follows:
"Semi-Sweet" sexy jester pin up ACEO print auction
"Cupcakery" sexy jester pin up ACEO auction
Again, these are small prints (ACEOs are art trading cards measuring 2.5" x 3.5") of my original illustrations. Each one is slightly hand embellished, then cold laminated, signed on the back...lovely little collectors items! There will be more of them listed for auction in the days to follow, and again...each listing for these little teases will start at just $0.99!
Now, what else do I have up my sleeve...Oh, yes...remember the other day when I was showing off my little posable bunny dolls? Well, I have another set of dolls available, but these are...not as friendly LOL! They are my "L'il Reaper" felt dolls, and they come in sets of two with a reversible pouch...Instead of the wooden beads for heads, they have little skull beads! Creepy and kinda cute, too, I guess...It's all relative anyhow!
So, these "L'il Reaper" doll sets are listed in my zombietoes etsy shop; to see them up close, please follow the link below the picture:
"L'il Reaper" felt dolls with pouch
And lastly, but not least(ly) LOL!! My BRAND NEW dragon painting! I painted this one today, in about 4 hours, from start to finish...I have named him "Radioactive", and he is a little bit cute and a little bit tweaked out...must be all that radiation! (Don't worry, he is not ACTUALLY radioactive!) This dragon painting is small at 5" x 7", but is full of character! He is currently listed in my darklingemily etsy shop. To see detail pictures, read the little blurb I wrote for him, and perhaps even invite him into your home, please follow the link below the picture:
"Radioactive" original big eye fantasy painting
Now, I am off to get a fresh stack of zombie limericks books cut, folded, sewn, and ready to go out in the mail...Also, embellishing some more ACEO prints, and *trying* to get some new limericks written and illustrated...It is waaaay past time for a "volume 3"!

Greetings!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I know I have been quiet for almost a full week; the last post was full of so much stuff I thought i'd give you a rest from my blabberings for a little bit LOL!
So...Tonight I have a new dragon painting to show off, along with a new sexy jester with dessert, some cute little felt bunny dolls, and a new bookplate design, too!
I'll start with my new dragon- this latest piece is inspired by my love and respect for one of the tiniest creatures...the bees! They may be small, but they are very very important and should not be overlooked! This painting is titled simply "Bee Dragon", and he is a little bit shy, hiding his bee-flavored scales under some delicate semi-insect like wings; his big green-blue eyes stand out in a sea of honeycombs...
This is the original painting, measuring 8" x 10" on a canvas panel..."Bee Dragon" is currently listed in my darklingemily etsy shop. To see detail pictures, and perhaps even adopt him into your home (he does not sting!), please follow the link below his picture:
"Bee Dragon" original big eye fantasy painting
While I am on the subject of my etsy shop, I have another NEW bookplate design; it is an art nouveau plate, made from my original pen and ink illustration "Six Roses"; Check it out at the link below the picture:
"Six Roses" personalized bookplate set (10 per set)
Also new in my darklingemily etsy shop are these cute cute little felted bunny people...These are little posable dolls, all hand sewn by yours truly! Two per set, and they come snug in a reversible handsewn pouch! I have a grey and white set, and also will be listing a brown and tan set; I do have abunch of colors of felt, and would love to get some time in to make some more whimsical bunnies, in funny colors like blues, greens, purples, etc! Here is a picture of them:
Felt Bunny posable dolls set of 2
Now, a few new ACEO auctions up on eBay- all of my ACEOs have $5 starting bids and free shipping! To see them all individually:
"Roger" Cartoon Aquarium Seahorse ACEO print
"Red Larry" flame dragon ACEO fantasy print
And to see everything I currently have listed on eBay, please click here!
One last thing before I go...My newest jester! This one is called "S'mores", and she is delicately balanced on a tasty campfire sandwich treat of graham crackers, marshmallows, and melty chocolate!! In keeping with the "campfire" theme, I have colored her suit in bright yellow, with red/orange polka dots!! AND she's a redhead! Here is a thumbnail of her:
Hopefully sometime next week I will have my website galleries updated again with all my recent jesters and dragons that are not up there yet, and you can get prints and/or posters of them then, or message me for one now if you can't wait that long! :) Now, I am off to get some more drawing done and some other random stuff...so, have a good night!

Hi Hi!
Well, I have kind of a lot to update in this post, so please have patience with me :)
I suppose I will start with my new eBay listings! I have 3 new listings tonight; the first is a relist of my "Water Dragon" ACEO print- this is a trading card sized art print from my original big eye dragon element painting; he is up for auction tonight, starting at just $5.00, with free shipping, as are ALL of my ACEO auctions! To see detail pictures of him, read his little blurb, and perhaps even bid on him, please click the link below the picture:
"Water Dragon" big eye dragon art ACEO print auction
The next "relist" is my ORIGINAL dragon and galaxy painting "Dragon Dreams"- this was originally up for auction, and half of the final sale price was designated to be donated to a little boy in need of surgery...Well, he did not get any bids (though I did end up making sales in another venue, and donated some money to this little boy regardless)...SO, I have relisted him as a Buy It Now (fixed price) listing on eBay. This listing will be up for 30 days, or until he finds a new home, whichever happens first. :)
The details of this listing are as follows: He is listed at a fixed price of $85, but I have also put in a "Make Best Offer" option ;) He is an ORIGINAL painting, and somewhat bigger than most of my paintings at 14" x 11" x 1" (gallery wrapped and ready to hang!). All the details can be found at his listing, just follow the link under his picture:
"Dragon Dreams" original fantasy painting
And...one more NEW ACEO listing tonight- This one is one of my personal favorites, and is NOT a dragon heh heh! "One Man's Storm" is an ACEO print of my original wizard painting. This listing starts at (you guessed it!) $5.00 with free shipping! You can see details for this auction and make a bid at the link below the picture:
"One Man's Storm" wizard ACEO fantasy print auction
Whew! Now...I would like to talk a little bit about zombies (eek!) I have been very busy printing up lots and lots of "Little Books of Zombie Limericks"- I have two volumes- for my zombietoes etsy shop...They have been flying off the shelves lately...My best guess is that they make excellent small gifts for hard to shop for people (dudes mostly). They are standard not card size, so they fit nicely into any envelope, and can be used for a greeting card, as I have left one of the inside covers blank for personalizing with a note and such. Again, there are two volumes available:
"Little Book of Zombie Limericks" volume one at zombietoes
"Little Book of Zombie LImericks" volume two at zombietoes
I have also listed some new zombie bookmarks, and am working on some zombie related bookplates for later this week- you can see everything I have to offer as far as dark and disturbing goes here!
Now I would like to introduce my newest bookplate design for my darklingemily etsy shop- these are taken from one of my more bizzare, somewhat surreal, pen and ink illustrations which I nicknamed "Sewn Together"...These bookplates are personalizable, self adhesive, and come in sets of ten. There is only one image for this particular set, but again, very cool (at least I think they are). You can see bigger pics of them by visiting the link below the picture:
"Sewn Together" surreal women personalizable bookplate sets
Seeing as we are on the subject of my darklingemily etsy shop now, I would like to take this opportunity to remaind you all that there are a handful of my original fantasy paintings ON SALE there right now!! Many of these are JUST $20 (from $32) with free shipping!! You can see ALL my original fantasy paintings there at this link:
Emily's Original paintings on etsy
I am sorry I am not very exciting tonight; I got up really early and am a little out of sorts. Maybe tomorrow I will just make a post with a lot of rambling nonsense that may or may not make you laugh :) Probably you will just think I am a dork (which I will not deny! Dork Pride!) But for now...I am off to relax for a bit.
xo!

Good evening...
Well, I have been working my butt off today, but haven't made any actual art...Paperwork, orders, chores...rather boring stuff, really, but it must get done! And now I am really tired...Maybe I will actually get to bed at a decent hour tonight!
So, I have a few new things to share! yay! The first is a new dragon painting; well, he is new to you all, but he's been patiently waiting to be posted for almost a week now..."Territorial" is an original acrylic painting, featuring a yellow-green dragon in flight over some bare winter trees...He has flown into raven territory, and is seriously about to regret it...Two little ravens scream and fly at him- how dare he get so close to their home?!?
Anyhow, this little fantasy painting measures 7" x 5" on a canvas panel...He is listed in my darklingemily etsy shop; to see detail pictures and perhaps even adopt this little treasure, please follow the link below the picture:
"Territorial" dragon and ravens original art
Next, I have an ACEO print auction up on eBay of my original painting "Mervamp"- a dark and mysterious creature, part mermaid, part vampire, lurking in the depths of a pond just below a cemetery...under a full moon! This ACEO (measures 3.5" x 2.5") print auction starts at a $5.00 bid, with my usual free shipping...To see the auction and make a bid, just follow the link below her picture:
"Mervamp" dark fantasy ACEO print auction
To see all my current listings on eBay, please clickhere!
This morning I put some finishing touches on my latest jester pin up illustration "Apple Turnover"; here she is in all of her upside down glory:
Again, I will not be offering the original for sale just yet, but if you would like to purchase a print or poster of her, please do email me with your preference- 8" x 10" limited edition, hand embellished print ($15) or 11" x 14" poster ($19.95), and I will make one up for you! Of course, if you order a print/poster, the watermark will NOT be on there :)
And, one last bit of news before I turn in for the night...I am excited to be featured in a "Gifts for Him" blog post by "Tales of a Retro Modern Housewife"...Well, it is not ME being featured, rather my "Procession to Breakfast' zombie print(s)...There are a loT of really beautiful gift ideas there, and I don't know about you, but the guys in my life are really hard to shop for...Not that they are picky or difficult, just that I never really know what to get a guy...so, this was very helpful for me! lol!
Here is the link to her blog post: Gifts for HIM gift guide blog.
Now, I am going the heck to BED!

Hi!
So, I am a bum, and spent all day in my pajamas...:D Of course, I had nowhere to be, no errands to run or people coming over, so I just rolled right out of bed and got right to work!
I have some good news for all of you- I have put a selection of my original paintings (and a few illustrations) on SALE in my darklingemily etsy shop.
Most of the sale pieces are on the small side- 5" x 7"- were $32, now are $20- but some are larger...ALL of them are ORIGINALS, though, and free shipping as usual! You can see them all by visiting my darklingemily etsy shop here...Every piece of art I have marked down is right on the first page, so you don't have to go digging around my store (unless, of course, you WANT to!)
Here's one of the smaller paintings that has been marked down, and a link underneath which will bring you right to her listing:
"Red Wine" Original big eye Fairy Painting
Now...A very special piece of art...Well, it is special to me, at least...This is one of my new favorite dragon paintings..."Attitude on the Edge" was born from a long week of frustration turned "I don't give a d*nm". It features two very colorful dragons; at first glance they just look a bit curious, maybe even playful, with their multicolored scales...Upon closer inspection of their expressions, you can see they are not at all happy. Tons of tiny stars in the background, and even a few comets!
The original painting "Attitude on the Edge" is listed on eBay for a fixed price of $55, with free shipping...It will be listed for 30 days, or until it is sold, whichever happens first! To view the listing and detail pictures of this wonderful big eye dragon painting, please follow the link below the picture:
"Attitude on the Edge" Original Dragon fantasy painting
I also have a few new ACEO auctions up this week! The two newest are both prints from my 'Cartoon Aquarium' series..."Zee" the green seahorse, and "Kellie, Ellie, and Nellie" jellyfish!
They both start at just $5, as do all of my ACEO auctions, whether they are prints or originals (these two are prints). Here they are:
"Zee" Cartoon Aquarium Seahorse ACEO print auction
"Kellie, Ellie, and Nellie" Cartoon Aquarium jellyfish ACEO print auction
Now...I have a new jester piece that is calling me back to my desk, and a few dragon sketches that would love to get put on some canvas, so I must depart for the evening :)
xo!

Happy Friday the 13th!
I went for a really good walk today; it is still pretty warm here for November, so I am soaking in as much of it as I can...I am sure it will be snowing before I know it...::Sigh::
Well, tonight I only have a few things to share...The first being a brand new eBay auction! Yay! This new auction is for an ACEO print (ACEOs are collectible art cards that measure 2.5" x 3.5") of my original dragon painting "Night Fryer"...
I know it is not the nicest dragon, nor cute, but a dragon nonetheless...maybe he is cranky because he has heartburn? Who knows...:) Anyhow, this print of "Night Fryer" is up on eBay with a $5.00 starting bid, and free shipping! To see him and perhaps make a bid, please follow the link below the picture:
"Night Fryer" fire breathing dragon ACEO print auction
And if any of you are interested in owning the ORIGINAL painting, which measures 20" x 16" x 1" (acrylic on stretched canvas, sides painted black, ready to hang), he is currently residing in my darklingemily etsy shop here!
Also tonight I have some work in progress pictures of my latest "sexy jester"...This one is sitting on a nice, tasty piece of pumpkin pie...You can view my progress in my facebook album here- and you do not need to have a facebook account to see her!
She is on page two, by the way...but there are a bunch of others to look at, too!
One more thing before I go work on my jester some more...I have a *BRAND NEW* t shirt design up at my Zazzle shop...This new shirt design features "Red Larry", one of my newer dragons...He was originally designed for a friend's tattoo, but is now available on clothing, wee! Here is the link to it:
"Red Larry" flying flame dragon t shirt or hoodie
Remember, you can customize the size, color, style, sleeves, etc on this design ;) Something for everyone! And now, I am going back to my desk in an attempt to finish this new sexy jester up and also stay up til Smackdown aires (at 11:30pm...I do not have a dish, so I have to wait for it to re-aire on Fox).
xo!

Hidely-ho!
So, I have listed my original painting "Dragon Dreams" up for auction on eBay, and this is a very special auction, because 1/2 of the final sale price will be donated to a little boy
who is in need of a surgery...His name is Reid Hite, and here is an excerpt from the family blog post:
"Reid is now 4 and a half months old. Since birth he has only had one testicle and the doctor waited till 4 months to see if his other one would drop on its own. When it did not drop we started with the trips to specialist. Reid is on Peachstate insurance which very few doctors or specialist take. We went to the only ones in GA that take it, which were all over 2 hours away. Each one told us he needs surgery by 6 months of age to correct the issue but that they did not feel comfortable doing it. His left testicle is in his stomach in between 3 muscles. It is too far up to bring down and will need to be auto transplanted. This has to be done by the time he is 6 months old or it will rip through his stomach muscles causing severe damage."
You can read the whole blog post at this link:http://reidhite.chipin.com/reid-hites-surgery and there is an option to donate there, if you feel so inclined to be an angel...
So...again, my original painting "Dragon Dreams"- 14" x 11" x 1" acrylic painting on stretched canvas- is up on eBay for auction, starting at a $60.00 starting bid, and 50% of the final sale price will be donated to the Hite family for their son Reid's surgery.
The reason I chose this piece of art to auction off is that it is one of my more "child friendly" dragon paintings, and I am a firm believer that dragons are protectors of the unknown secrets and magic that is still here in this world, even if we as humans cannot acknowledge the presence of such, and that helping others is an important part of being an artist and a decent human being. Unfortunately, at this point, the only way I can help these folks out is to put up this auction, and hope like hell it gets at least one bid ;).
To see the listing and make a bid, please follow the link below the picture:
"Dragon Dreams" original big eye dragon painting auction
I will have some new art to share sometime this weekend...I know, promises, promises...:D I have started a *new* jester piece, with cupcakes!! Wow, going from helping a little boy out to sexy jesters and naughty desserts...I must be completely out of my mind. But I am okay with that. Life would be awfully dull if I were normal...

Good Evening!
Weeeee...I spent a long time on my website today, which is a little pathetic because it was SOOO beautiful outside...BUT, It had to get done! Work is work, and I am a Capricorn, so it's hard to ignore the work LOL!
Anyhow, my website still needs a little tweaking here and there, but all the individual gallery pages are republished and pretty pretty!! All the art in them is available as prints and/or posters, but...it is always free to look LOL!
Here, why don't you go visit: darklingtreasures.com
Also, tonight I have a brand new dragon ACEO up for auction on eBay..."Gold Bed" is a wee little dragon baby, protecting his big ol' stash of treasure and gold...though he looks a little worried, with those big eyes of his, that he can't keep tabs on it all!
He is an ORIGINAL painting, in ACEO format (3.5" x 2.5") on a small sheet of canvas, up for auction starting at just $5.00, with my usual free shipping! To see him up close, and maybe even make a bid, please visit the link below the picture:
"Gold Bed" original big eye dragon ACEO painting
Well, I am off to bake myself some chocolate chip cookies, after a long day of work I surely deserve them! Heh heh heh!

okay, just a quick post, as I am mesmerized by tonight's episode of Monday Night RAW (with special guest host, the prince of darkness himself, Ozzy!!!)
I have a few new listings up on eBay tonight, the first of them is an ACEO (art card- measures 2.5" x 3.5") print of my original illustration "Icy Eyes"...an eerily beautiful goth girl with a rather strange, but equally beautiful, blue bird on her finger...
She is up for a 7 day auction, starting at just $5.00, with free shipping! To see her listing on eBay and perhaps even bid, please follow the link below the picture:
"Icy Eyes" aceo print auction
And, on the darker side of Emily land, is another eBay auction...Zombies!! "Daddy's Little Zombie" is an ORIGINAL painting (in acrylics on canvas, measures 3.5" x 5") in my silhouette style, on a blue, veiny background...A little child zombie and his father crest a hill, looking for something to eat...and they have glowing yellow eyes!
This original zombie painting starts at just $9.00, with free shipping; if you would like to see detail pictures and/or make a bid, please follow the link below the rather dark "family portrait" hee hee:
"Daddy's Little Zombie" ORIGINAL zombie painting
I also have a few zombie bookmarks up in my zombietoes etsy shop...
Click here to see them all...wha ha ha!
Now...forgive the kinda short post, but I've got to get back to my website work (almost done!!!!!!!!!) and my wrestling :D!

Hi hi!
I have been a little bit under the weather lately, and thusly I do not have much new art to share :(. Today was the first day in almost a week that I have had an time or energy to work on anything besides my latest commission and chores and stuff...
I've been toiling away on my website, trying to get everything *just perfect* and the way I see it in my head...So far, the homepage has been rearranged, and I have added a new page specifically for commission information. Those are the only publicly visible changes so far, though I have been working on my individual gallery pages, too...I got one gallery done, three more to go, before I republish them all...So, for the time being, they are still as they were before...
If you would like to take a peek, my website is here:www.darklingtreasures.com :)
I have two new ACEO auctions tonight...the first one is an ACEO print of my original "Water Dragon" painting; I am not sure why, exactly, but this is my favorite dragon in the element series...I do have a lot of water in my birthchart, perhaps that is the reason...
The ACEO is up at a $5.00 starting bid (free shipping) on eBay...If you would like to view the listing, and perhaps make a bid, please follow the link below the picture:
"Water Dragon" ACEO print auction
and if you happen to have some extra money burning a hole in your pocket, the ORIGINAL 8" x 10" painting is still available for purchase in my darklingemily etsy shop (also free shipping). Click here to see the listing for the original painting!
The other ACEO auction I have put up tonight is an ORIGINAL dragon painting, in acrylics on canvas..."Big Purple" is a big purple dragon (who woulda guessed? LOL!) and a tiny tiny little fairy, hanging out together. It's pretty adorable. "Big Purple" is up for auction starting at just $5.00, free shipping, and you can see it and perhaps even bid at the link below the picture:
"Big Purple" original dragon and fairy ACEO painting
I have relisted some more paper goods in my darklingemily etsy shop, including this nifty set of two hand bound mermaid journals:
set of two handbound mermaid journals
I have sadly been neglecting my zombietoes shop, but I have a whole bunch of new monsters to put up there, eventually. I have just been feeling so crappy, and am trying to be good to myself and not overwork. But, I do have one zombie ACEO up for auction on eBay, it is a print of my original painting "The Fast Kind", if you are a zombie lover in need of an art fix, please visit the link below the picture:
"The Fast Kind" zombie ACEO print
So, that is about all for the moment. I'm sorry I have been rather quiet online lately. When I am not 100%, I prefer to stay quiet, rather than bitch and moan and generally bring everyone around me down into my state of crappiness.
xo!

Happy Friday!!
I am really excited about my newest eBay auction, though it is a piece I made back in March of this year..."Sands of Atlantis" is an ORIGINAL and LARGE (24" x 18" x 1" gallery wrapped) mixed media fiber art painting of a vintage-y mermaid, hanging out on the fine sandy ocean floor just outside Atlantis...
She is up for a 7 day auction, starting bid at $150.00 (I know it is much more than my usual $5.00 auctions, but she is HUGE and BEAUTIFUL, and I put a lot of work and love into her)...To see detail pictures and perhaps even make a bid, please click on the link below her picture:
"Sands of Atlantis" original mermaid mixed media painting
There is also a work in progress slideshow at the bottom of the auction listing. I am in desperate need of some wall space in my little studio...:( But I am hoping she finds a nice loving home!
I also have a new art card auction up; a cute little fairy taking a bubble bath..."Hot Bath" is an ACEO print of my original illustration...She is up on eBay at just $5.00 to start, free shipping...To see her and maybe bid, follow the link below her picture:
"Hot Bath" fairy fantasy ACEO print
and this little guy (he is an ORIGINAL ACEO painting) ends tomorrow, he is still at a very low bid if you feel like you want to challenge the high bidder...Just visit the link below his picture:
"Stretch" ORIGINAL dragon ACEO painting
I have also been hard at work relisting a lot of paper goodies in my darklingemily etsy shop, including journals and Scrapbooking supplies and sets...go take a look-see! More on the way, including some *Brand New* bookmark designs!
And lastly, for those of you who would like a more "practical" approach to my art, I have just added a bunch of new t shirts and other items (mousepads, keychains, postcards, etc) in my Zazzle Shop! Here is an example- this is a keychain with my *favorite jester of all time* on it:
"No No" naughty jester keychain

I dont know what is wrong with me today, it is still very early in the evening and I am REALLY tired...Looks like it will be bedtime soon!
I have a brand new tiny dragon painting to show off tonight...It is an ACEO (art card, measures 3.5" x 2.5"), and an ORIGINAL at that!
"Bearded" is a wee little green dragon guy, with an apparent amount of wisdom; at least it looks as such by the way he is sitting, with his dragon beard!
He is an original acrylic painting on canvas, and again, this is an ACEO, so it is very small at 3.5" x 2.5". "Bearded" is up for auction on eBay, starting at just $5.00 and my usual free shipping! To see him and perhaps even make a bid, please follow the link below his picture:
"Bearded" original dragon ACEO painting
I also have listed some ACEO prints of two of my all time favorite paintings, "Raven 1" and "Raven 2"...They each start at just $5, to see them, please follow the link below their pictures:
Raven ACEO prints
I have finally gotten around to doing a big inventory check on my darklingemily etsy shop, and over the next few weeks I will be re-introducing a lot of journals, scrapbook sets, note cards, and other hand made paper goodies, in addition to my ever growing "Fantasy Art" section!
Now I have to inventory my littlezombietoes etsy shop, and add some more zombie stuff! I am afraid the Cartoon Aquarium series has overtaken my monsters LOL! But, that will have to wait until tomorrow, as I am dead tired :P
Oh! If any of you would like to see the commission I am currently working on, visit my Facebook WIP album here!

Well...this is just a quick post, as I am getting ready for Monday Night Raw and in the middle of a painting!
Also, I dont have all that much to say :( Lame, I know...
I have listed a brand new ACEO auction- this is an ORIGINAL art card painting, measuring 3.5" x 2.5"...I still am impressed with myself for being able to paint this small, though it kills my eyeballs...:)
Anyhow, this new original is titled "Stretch"- he is an active little dragon, ready to take a long flight...and needs to limber up his wings before he leaves! He is up for auction on eBay, with a $5.00 starting bid, and my usual free shipping!
To see him and make your bid, please click on the link below his picture:
"Stretch" original dragon ACEO
I also have been listing some ACEO prints for auction lately, from my larger dragon paintings...the most recent of these being a print of "A Safe Perch"- a beautiful dragon with big green/turquoise eyes, letting little blue birds perch on him for a safe night's sleep...This auction is also a $5.00 starting bid, with free shipping...To see the listing and make a bid, visit the link below the picture:
"A Safe Perch" dragon ACEO print
To see ALL of my current eBay auctions, just click here!
Now, off to relax a bit, watch some wrestling, and get some work done on this commission! Oh, and I should be sending out my latest newsletter this week, hopefully tomorrow, so if you have not signed up yet and would like to, visit my website: www.darklingtreasures.com
and look for the "Mailing List" button (it's fancy and rather big; there is one right on the homepage). I will never share your email with anyone, it is always art related and nothing else, and I only send out an email about twice a month. ;)
