Medusa Painting

 Hiii,

 Well, I think I have a touch of burn out, or ennui, or seasonal depression, or SOMETHING, because I just have so little motivation lately. I realize this is not exciting news to read, so I will move on to some art...but if you notice some slack in the routines, it's just me wallowing slowly through the goo of life.  Not to be confused with me vigorously sloshing through the goo of life. 

Not a LOT of new art, but a MEDUSA PAINTING! Yaaaay!  


"Medusa Pose" is a small original painting, measuring 5" x 7" , acrylic on canvas panel.  She does not come framed, but is easily popped into any 5" x 7" frame you have kicking around... There is also a wire hanger affixed to the back, so you could just put her up right on the wall sans frame.

She is currently up for auction on eBay HERE- feel free to check out the listing for some more pictures.

Oh, what else...Ah! I remember I mentioned that I was waiting on some To the Nines print proofs, to see which direction I want to go for ACEO prints...WELL. They showed up super late, which is not a big deal at all as I am not really on a deadline.  It is kind of abnormal for the print place to be so late, but things are backed up all over the place and like I said, I hardly noticed. 

But then I got a delivery confirmation (two, actually, one from the print company, and one from the post office) with NO DELIVERY!! Okay, well...irritating but still not a problem for the moment. I figured it was just mail issues and I'd wait until Tuesday to see if anything shows up. Monday was a holiday.

Tuesday afternoon, it is there! Oh, wait, something is wrong...oh, the entire envelope is SOAKING WET, sopping, all the way through.  Like, WHAT HAPPENED?  UGHHH! So...the proofs are unusable even for proofing. I suppose this brings me to the point that I have pretty much decided to just print them from home, where I have full control over stock and whether or not I want to throw them into a puddle or two before I send them to my customers.

POo.

I do have a few new ACEO originals that I will put up on eBay this weekend, and even though there is nothing concrete on "fancy paper" for the next To the Nines illustration, I do have a few things sketched out. Mostly, I have been painting, as I needed to make a mess and spend a little longer on creating one thing. I love the ACEOs, but sometimes I sketch a bunch and then have a hard time focusing on finishing one at a time. 

Anyhoo, hugs for all!

A Ramble and Sunday auction sneak peek

Image
 Hi hi! I'm just popping in here to give an update- I have been off visiting family, and I am home for about 10 minutes before I go off to house sit for some friends.  It has been a rather busy summer- great to distract from the oppressive heat!  Honestly, I am tolerant of it mostly, as long as I stay out of direct sunlight.  I think I might be turning into a vampire, really, the sun HURTS me, my eyes mostly. They just start watering as soon as it hits high noon. Sunglasses help a little, but I tend to stick to the shade when I am out and about. Ummm, not a lot of new projects to show, everything is still in my head or just chicken scratches on scrap paper.  I have taken a long break from the To the Nines project series.  I think I will save those for cold winter days, as they need a lot of focus, and I get distracted easily in the warm weather.  It's a seasonal thing for me- I gather a lot of inspiration while I am busy running around in the spring and summer- filling my eyes

Work in Progress ACEOs!

Image
 Ah, I see I skipped last week :/ Well, I do have a work in progress photo of a new batch of ACEOs, and of course a sneak peek of the Sunday auction! Besides that, I am kind of boring lately, maybe I will ramble a bit... Okee, first- I managed to remember to take a snapshot of this new batch of ACEOs before finishing them: They are coming along well now, I've lined them all in ink and will shade them in grey ink soon. Then colors!  Sunday's auction this week will be a sweet little fairy and a bumble bee: She is titled "Bumble Buds" and again, she will be up for auction on eBay starting this upcoming Sunday (4/17, also Easter I see my calendar is telling me). There are a handful of new ACEOs listed right now, you can browse through them if you want to: see HERE !  Um, I guess I don't have much to ramble about...wanting to make up some t shirt designs, and I had an idea for my next doll project (who knows when i will get to her!)  Xo, though!

NEW DOLL! Plus sneak peek, ramble, and some printed goods

 Okay, well Happy April Fool's Day...  Something of note: I am very very partial to jesters and the classic "King's Fool" trope, and over the years have drawn TONS of jesters, clowns, jokers, and all sorts of strange-humored creatures...In fact, the little demon nymphs I've taken to drawing over the past while certainly have their roots in my jester art.   Of course, all I have to share today are pretty fairies (sorry lol!) but still...it is SPRINGTIME and I am ready to only have to wear one pair of pants when I go outside. There are flowers poking out through the mud now, and the other day I even saw a wasp!  So, I suppose the fairies are appropriate :) Very first, I have a Featured Art for April up on my website- she is a repainted Monster High Operetta doll going by Gloria now.  Fashioned after a purple poofy flower of some unknown variety, she is very pleased to make your acquaintance.  For more info on her, photos, and all her little details (what I made her
