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:

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:

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!

xo!

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:

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!

I have been on the computer ALL day...

It's reallya terrible thing. But I did get stuff done. So go me!

Okay, I have a bunch of new art and stuff, so be ready, cuz here we go...


Firstly, I have listed a new fabric aceo auction on eBay tonight...This one is a mermaid! And she is all fabric (plus thread and a little paint and beads), and one of a kind, of course!
She starts at just $3.00, with free shipping, and she is up for a 7 day auction...To see her and perhaps make a bid, please click on the link below the picture:




Fabric Mermaid ACEO auction


Next...what do I have next...OH! Yes! I have listed a brand new addition to my silly Cartoon Aquarium series! His name is "George" and he is a green, near sighted octopus!
He makes me laugh, he's just awesome, and he's blind and looking for a new home (pun intended!). To check him out up close and personal, please click on the link below his picture
(he is listed in my zombietoes.etsy.com shop):




"George" original octopus painting


And finally, I have just started a new store- this one is strictly merchandise-at Zazzle.com. I will shortly be replacing this shop with my old and never updated Cafepress store.
But, a little about this new shop- I only have two items up at the moment, but I will be working on it a lot! I am currently offering tee shirts/tank tops/hoodies/etc with two different Cartoon Aquarium characters...
The beauty of this store is that I can make a ton of different stuff, so I am pretty excited! here's an example:




And there are many styles, colors, and sizes to choose from- you get to customize your own products without having to do the art!
So, to check out my very new Zazzle store, just follow this link: http://www.zazzle.com/darklingemily


Now, I have to get to some emails, and then give my poor eyeballs a rest.

Good evening!


I suppose I will start with the new eBay auction! This is not my usual ACEO auction, this is for an original 5" x 7" acrylic painting. Allow me to
introduce a new member of my Cartoon Aquarium series: "Jee" is a hyper little seahorse! I really just love painting these guys. Having started as a fluke, this series is turning into something I am pretty impressed with.
Anyhow..."Jee" is an original acrylic painting (5" x 7" on canvas board), up for auction on eBay starting at just $6.00 (and my usual free shipping)!
He would be honored to become a fixture in your home/office/garage/wherever, so please make him feel loved by placing your bid! To see the auction, please click on the link below his picture:




"Jee" original seahorse painting


Now, I have a brand new jester illustration, she is a bit of a pin up, and some of you have seen her already.
Her name is "Semi-Sweet", and she is absolutely sexy and beautiful! Inspired by some awesome people (you know who you are) and my love of chocolate...
Unfortunately for all of you, I am not offering the original for sale at this time (perhaps in the future)...BUT! I do have prints available in many sizes in
my deviantart profile! To see her and all the print size options, please click on the link below her picture:




"Semi-Sweet" prints on deviantart--look for the red "buy Print" option on the right side menu.

Here is the link to my entire deviantart profile (still in the beginning stages): http://darklingemily.deviantart.com


There appears to be a great big thunderstorm on the horizon, so I am going to try to get some online work done and hope I do not lose power...

Happy Saturday/Gradutation/Memorial Day Weekend!

I am watching Pale Rider and taking a short break from painting (waiting for it to dry) to post my newest listing:

Since I loved "Nee" the strange seahorse so much (and he has been sold, so I miss him, too) I have decided to paint him a buddy..."Zee" is another little weird seahorse,
part of my Cartoon Aquarium series. He is an original 8" x 10" acrylic painting on stretched canvas. To see detail pics and perhaps even adopt him, please click on the link below his picture:




"Zee" original strange seahorse painting


Also, I may have mentioned this a few months back, it's been so long I hardly remember, but...I have written a tutorial on mixed media pocket journals, which is being published in the summer issue of Faerie Magazine!
I have been informed that the summer issue is out in print around the end of June, so be on the lookout! Here's the link to their website if you would like to check them out:

http://www.faeriemagazine.com/

I also have some rather exciting things I am trying to get solidified before I spill the beans to all y'all...I'd hate to jump the gun and then disappoint! But as soon as I know for sure, then so will you!

Now, back to work...

ooh, dang!

I did not realize I haven't been posting! Well, it's because I have been in la la land making art! I have been on a roll, and too preoccupied to be online much; my apologies.

So, tonight I have two BRAND NEW pieces for you to feast your eyes on...What a disgusting saying. Man oh man.

Anyway, we will start with the raven piece :). "Secret Lemons" (available for sale in my darklingemily etsy shop) is a little 5" x 7" illustration in somewhat of an art nouveau style. It is a very detailed piece, lots of lemons and leaves!
I really like how this turned out and may use it as the basis of a larger painting at some point...To view detail pictures of "Secret Lemons" and perhaps even adopt it, please click on the link below the picture:

Now, out of the trees and into the water! Wee! I am really really on a weird fish painting kick lately, and what I have for you tonight is just hilarious and adorable and a little moody...
"Nee" is an original 8"x 10" acrylic painting on stretched canvas (ready to hang!) He is a rather odd sort of seahorse, and quite clearly not amused...He is available for sale through my zombietoes etsy shop.
To view detail pictures and such, please click on the link below the picture:

So, as you can see, I have been painting up a storm...and speaking of, here is another album of Work in Progress photos of a wizard I painted today:

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=86236&id=602196970&l=ada59c4724

Now, I am going to rummage through my cabinets for somethign to munch on...It's about time to go grocery shopping!

Ciao!
