Dragon Bookmarks + ACEOs, Zombie Bookplates, + Lady Justice pin up art

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!

Punk Rock Sea Turtle Painting, ZOmbie ACEO and article, and Fire Dragon original on eBay!

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.

xo!

Lots of Dragon Art, A Wizard, some Zombie stuff, and Art SALE!!

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!

New Etsy Store for dark art~ zombietoes

Oh guys...

I am so tired...So this will be short I think.

I have opened a *Brand New* Etsy Shop for my dark art to reside in. All zombie portraits that I have previously posted are there now...

Please go check it out (if you are not squeamish) by clicking the banner below:

http://zombietoes.etsy.com

Over the weekend I will be adding some more stuff there, as well as new reading and journaling accessories in my original etsy shop: http://darklingemily.etsy.com

I was gonna try to get to writing about something other than that, however my eyeballs are glazing over and my mind...well, I lost track of it a while back. Some time around 7pm or so.

MMMMMMMMMM>>>BED

Emily's Zombie Portrait Project~ get involved!

Zombie Portrait Project:

Zombies are one of my vices. I am utterly obsessed with them, from a scientific standpoint as well as a fantastical one.
So, I have devised a project for myself that you can get involved in, too!

Here is, as stands, the "Zombie Portrait Project" outline:

a) Send me a picture of you. Now, I am painting you as a ZOMBIE, so please do not get all dolled up in your best outfit and such...
I am looking for photos of you making a goofy face, sneezing, bending over...something zombie-esq. You need not be dressed as a zombie either...
Feel free, as I would get a really thrill out of it, but make note that I may not paint you in the zombie attire you have on. Of course you may make requests-which I will always weigh in the creative process, however, I am using this project as a way to explore my inner zombie terrain.

**When emailing a pic for possible inclusion in the project, please mention "ZPP" in the subject line.

b) I will use the photos as reference for turning you into an awesome, scary, disgusting flesh eating zombie!
I will be painting in acrylics on canvas (stretched, canvas board, or sheets, depending on my supply).

c) if you provide me with your mailing address, I will send you the #1/25 limited edition prints (8" x 10") absolutely free of charge.
You will also get very first secret dibs on the original if you so choose to own it.

**You will of course keep all copyrights to the photo I use as a reference for the portrait. I will be making more than a few creative changes- insodoing, I will have created a new image and thus retain the copyright for said image. In not so lawyer terms~ You own photo, you own copyright to photo. Me make painting from photo, me own copyright to painting.
I will email you a consent/disclaimer form if you like, and I will of course be giving you credit for use of your photo. I am planning on naming each zombie painting after the person in the ref. photo, so if you would prefer I use a different name, please let me know. I will not be using last names, save at the request of the individual.

As far as photo quality goes, I do not need a super huge file. 300dpi is great, anything bigger is really unnecessary. jpgs only :)
I reserve the right to use or not use any photo of my choosing once they hit my inbox. I will contact you regarding my decision ASAP :) I do move pretty quick, too. If it's been over a week, and you haven't heard back from me, email me again.
Please be respectful of others and only send photos of yourself. And be respectful of me and keep it clean. (GREG)

If you have any other questions, please email me at mle_j@comcast.net

For updates on the "Zombie Portrait Project", please join my mailing list!
Also, be sure to check back here at my blog for new zombie art!

~Em
