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!

 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

 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 ...
