 OMFG I do NOT want to be on this dang computer. but OMFG I really want to share this new doll, and all the updates I have for the month! So, without further adieu, may I introduce Wendi: Wendi is a Skelita Calaveras custom, and a counterpart to the Flora doll.  This was my very first Skelita make-over, and I was nervous, I always get nervous when I make the creepy dolls. I just want them to be NOT PRETTY but NOT UGLY and also resemble the look I have in my head. I think I did okay with her, I really like how her eyes turned out- a slight bit off, wanted to give her a dead stare, as she is...a dead thing, you know?   She is up for auction on eBay HERE , with lots more pictures and a little write up.  If she does not find a new home from eBay, I will be putting her up in my freshly re-opened etsy shop: zombietoes.etsy.com I am also hoping to get some other doll related items listed on etsy in the soonish future, as it is a bit empty over there at the moment....

Well, I missed my Sunday mark for this, but it is here now! "To the Nines- Kitchen" is a set of 9 ACEOs that make up a larger picture...just a regular fantasy kitchen with lots of critters doing kitchen stuff: Each individual ACEO is listed on Ebay (Buy it Now $15)- you can view them all HERE Additionally, I have posters up on Zazzle of the full illustration- those can be found at the link HERE . Okee, I am quite tired and still have a few "office" things to get done, so I will be off to do those now...many hugs! Xo Emily website eBay Zazzle

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...

 Hi! New art! New art! Yay!  I feel like it has been awhile since I have listed anything on eBay...but I have a few things to show off currently. First, a piece I started back in February, riiight before the shit hit the fan.  I know this because I found her shoved between the back pages of one of my sketchbooks a week or so ago, and realized that I had totally forgotten about her!  Buuut, bonus, she was already sketched out, so I got to start inking right away.  I love it when the idea is already plotted out, and I can just zone out with my pens while I listen to bizarre documentaries in the background. Anyhoo, introducing "Coffee Genie"- she is an original 7" x 10.25" fantasy illustration- mixed media: acrylic paint, archival inks on bristol.  Currently up for grabs on eBay HERE ! I really love coffee, and genies, and art nouveau, and I am trying to learn to love the color pink, but I do love painting, and I love smoke, and oh did I say that I LOVE COFFEE...

Forgive the lame title of this post, my brain just does not want to cooperate for more than 5 minutes at a time these days. Found myself staring at the blank title bar for too long, just wanted to start typing. So, here we are, and as mentioned, a new (small) batch of fantasy ACEO illustrations: They are all currently up for sale on eBay HERE - feel free to use the Best Offer option, it is not insulting to me, I wouldn't put it up if I didn't want you all to use it! I know they are not the most detailed ACEOs ever, but I am still in the process of getting this doll put together (very close to finished now) and I do not have a lot of desk space at the moment. BUT, I did bust out my fancy Stuart Semple watercolors to use on these, so they are SATURATED with color.  I am generally not too fond of watercolor, but I do really love this set I have. There are also a few more new items in the Zazzle Shop - some stone coasters!  There are three new fairy coasters and three ...

 Hi Hi! I have a brand new gallery on my website!  :) :) Of course, there are currently only 6 images there, but I am working on it!  Still sorting through the archive galleries, still sorting through my web store as well.  My eyeballs are fried, and my heart wants to work on my new doll so badly...but I HAVE to get all this internet art clutter under control. So, slow and steady. So, the new (tiny) gallery can be viewed HERE .  If you hover over the thumbnails, it will tell you the title of the artwork.  If you click on it, it will A) bring you to a page in my Zazzle shop to see a bigger version, and give you purchase options if you are interested in that sort of thing...or B) it will do nothing and take you nowhere, as I do not have any merch or prints available for those particular works. But still, I want to show them off. About my Zazzle shop - I actually have 2 of them, but we are talking about the zombietoes shop- it is now being maintained weekly by...
