Sneak Peek, December Featured Art, and new ACEOs!

Friday Hellos!

I have new art, sneak peek/WIP pic, and the featured art for this month...

Remember those "weird" drawings I mentioned last week? Well, I listed one of them this evening- "Weird Girl 1" (I know, such a creative title, hehe). I saw a very well composed photo of some kind of bug (I think it was a variety of mantis, but it was very furry looking and had lots of feathery tendrils, and I am no bug expert)...so that is what inspired this first weird girl:






She is currently up for Auction/Buy It Now on eBay HERE if you have any interest in homing her.

I will be putting up "Weird Girl 2" on Sunday am (might be closer to noon time, I think I will be at brunch with Dad beforehand) but here is a preview of her...


I was very inspired with the bugs, so found some cool looking moth reference pictures to work from for her.  Again, she will be listed for auction on Sunday- check this link to see if she is up yet:

What is next here...oh, yes, December Featured Art!  

Okay, bear with me on this one- it is a little late being posted, it is an older piece, and I did not build a whole webpage for it...but he does have his own shop page!  This is "Zekret", and he is featured on my website for the month of December!  See the whole story/art info/purchase details, etc in my webshop HERE.  I painted him back in 2013!  One of the few male pieces I've done. Smoke laden, dark shadow dragon dude.  Acrylic on canvas panel, 11" x 14". Not a lot of detail, but enough mystery to make up for that...





How about a real sneak peek?  I am working on another painting right now, still thinking of a title but it is tentatively "Coffee Break"


Ideally, I will have her finished up in the next week or two...buuut...I am having a "too many new ideas" upswing, so I am sure she will be pushed aside a few times. Geeze, it sounds heartless when I type it out like that. It is more that I am feeling distracted with other art thoughts and would rather save her for when I can give her full focus. 

So, I have intentions of getting the next To the Nines piece started in the next week (I have a theme and am still moving things around visually in my head for now) and I managed to come up with a few more possible themes for the future :)  Yes...and another whole new project that I don't even want to explain now in case I never get to it...

xo!

 Oopsies, it's been two years... I've been making art that whole time, but keeping up with all the online stuff is just not my forte. I don't even mess with social media anymore- a decision that was made for my mental health, and you know what? RECOMMEND. Anyhow, a quick update- I have hashed out a schedule for updating my "online presence" on a regular basis- once a month I will update my art galleries , my blog, and my web shop with art, prints, news, dolls, whatever I have going on.  Hopefully, I will not fall off again and disappear into the void. Here are some custom dolls I've made (and since sold) in the past two years: These ladies, along with others, will be added to my doll gallery eventually. I am *really* behind with the updates, y'all. I do apologize.  Oh, what else...I have been considering re-opening my etsy shop, I am hesitant, because is it necessary? Another thing to keep tabs on...I'm not sure yet. In the case that I do decide to, ...

To the Nines "Home" ACEO series - complete!

Image
Well, it's finished! Yaaay!! There are so many little details, and I am really quite happy with how it turned out.  It is more muted in color than the previous To the Nines ("Wishing"), but this was purposeful. I wanted a bit more cohesion in the whole piece, so I chose a color scheme for the entire image this time. Usually i don't plan the colors out, i just pick one or two and then add whatever I want during. But sometimes it is nice to have limits lol! Here is the full image: At any rate, let me explain again my To the Nines series.  It is essentially a set of 9 complete ACEOs that also make up a larger story/image.  I am rather partial to puzzles and things that fit together but are different. Also, it seems to speak to my need to visually organize everything.  "Home" is the second work in the series (You can view the first work "Wishing" HERE ). I have plans to continue this in the future, though at the moment I am a little behind on other th...

Monster High Lagoona Lalaloopsy Doll, ACEO Sunday sneak peek, ++ ramblings

Image
 Uggh, hiii So...currently existing in a haze of frustration of myself. Well, I'd say it's more like a mist. Not too thick, just...annoying. Yes, I am annoyed at being continuously frustrated with myself. Does that make any sense? Who knows. SO, I have FINISHED some dolls! Emily the Strange is complete and pretty much ready to find a new home- I need to draft a listing for her, though I suspect I may run into a weird copyright issue trying to list her on eBay. I've already had issues trying to get her Certificate of Authenticity made up. (ramble happening) Normally, I order out for the doll COAs, as I wanted a nice, smooth, perfect looking card. However, the place I order from is refusing to print up her COA as it goes against their copyright policies...Fine, I will print one up myself, fiiine, ughhh.   Oh, the printer is out of ink. Right-o, I have another cartridge ready to go. Oh, well, it doesn't recognize the black cartridge. Cool, coolcoolcool. So, I am currently ...
