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:

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!

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:

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!
xo!

Sunday, Sunday...:)
Let me see here...what do I have to write about...Oh, yes! I have put up an ORIGINAL dragon painting on eBay (I listed him yesterday)..."Nite Lite" has been living in my darklingemily etsy shop, but I have moved him over to an eBay auction...Which is bonus for y'all, because he is a little less than half the price he was before! Of course, this is an auction format listing, and he starts at just $15.00, free shipping, so it could potentially go higher...But still, you could get a really good deal on this ORIGinal painting!
(blah blah blah!!) Anyway, "Nite Lite" is a great big green dragon, curled around an entire kingdom castle, because he is a tired dragon and wants to fall asleep (he even has heavy eyelids!) but he is a wee bit afraid of the dark! This piece is somewhat small, at 7" x 5" (acrylic on a canvas panel)...To see the auction listing, and perhaps even make a bid, please follow the link below the picture:

"Nite Lite" original dragon painting auction
I also have a handful of ACEO (art cards) listed for auction- all my ACEO auctions start at just $5.00 with free shipping- to see all the current listings on eBay, please click here!
Since my last post, I have managed to get my newest "sexy jester" pin up completed. "Pumpkin Pie" is a mixed media illustration, featuring one of my jesters sitting atop a great big piece of delicious pumpkin pie, and behind her is a really big pumpkin! I am not offering the original for sale (yet, perhaps eventually I will), and sadly she is not posted in my website art gallery yet, but if you would like a print or poster of her, please feel free to email me with your preference of poster (11" x 14" for $19.95) or limited edition print (8" x 10" hand embellished, numbered, + signed) and I would be more than happy to get one to you!
Anyway, here is a picture of her, all finished up:

* If you do order a print from me, the watermark will not be on there! It is for "publishing" purposed only ;)
If you would like to see all the other sexy jesters, they are living here in my "Sexy Art" sub gallery ;)
And...Some rather poopy news...I know a while back I mentioned something about having a tutorial I wrote (how to make your own journals) getting published in Faerie Magazine. Well, it was supposed to be published in the Summer 2009 issue (which was late getting to the presses, and did not in fact come out until September)...I am sad to announce that I am NOT in there.
I had a whole shpeel written out that was a bit of a "wag of the finger", but thought that maybe I should just be polite and professional and not even bother with crabbing about it. I will say this one thing, as a smart cookie, a reader, consumer, and lover of fantasy and all other art and literature...Faerie Magazine could be a better publication than it is, and quite frankly I am glad that they left me out of their magazine, seeing as I dont find them to be very on point.
Rest assured,the first shpeel was much less nice about all this, but even still, very tame compared to what I would really like to say...However, in the words of Forrest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that." ;)
xo!
