I have this weird obsession with zombies. I am the oldest of three girls and a Capricorn. I'll think of more later and update again...It's hard for me to talk about myself, I guess.

    Vices: Smoking and the occasional drinking (whiskey and scotch), not calling my friends back right away, sometimes I bite my nails, and I definitely eat WAY too much chocolate.
    Virtues: I am extremely patient (to a fault). I listen well, I learn fast, I am willing, determined, and have pretty descent self esteem, I suppose.
    Heroes: My mum, my stepmum, pretty much anyone who would risk their lives to save another...

    Reflection Dragon painting, Dragon 'playing cards', one day sale (50% OFF!), + art auctions!

    Wednesday, July 6, 2011, 9:22 PM [General]

    Hi hi!
    Well, I have a BUNCH of dragon art tonight, all of it original! A small 6" x 4" painting, and a series of four (larger) 8.5" x 11" pieces, all beastly! I also have a half off sale running right now in BOTH of my etsy shops, and a variety of art auctions running on eBay!

    First, I'd like to start off with my new short series of dragon illustrations- these four originals are inspired by face cards. I mean, you have the king, the queen, the jack...even a joker. But no dragon? WTF?! Well, I fixed that...Below are the four original illustrations- you can see them all by following the link below the picture:


    Dragon Playing Card suits fantasy illustrations on etsy
    **These are currently 50% off when you use the code POINT5 at checkout!! Until July 7th!

    So, yes, I am holding a one day sale in BOTH of my etsy shops- 50% off coupon code to both of my etsy shops! Use the code POINT5 at checkout at either zombietoes.etsy.com or darklingemily.etsy.com to receive the discount, which covers all items...code is good until July 7th!

    Now, onto eBay fun! I have a brand new original dragon painting listed for auction right now- "Reflection" is a little 6" x 4" acrylic painting on a sheet of artist canvas. He's a curious one...Up for auction with a starting bid of just $15! All the info and more details about the art are at the listing link below the picture:


    "Reflection" dragon fantasy painting
    In addition to the new piece, I have some older original paintings up for auction, as well as a lot of 99 cent ACEO prints and a few original ACEO illustrations too! To see everything I have available, just click HERE!

    I have no idea what I am working on next...other than a few commission pieces. I have this long, thin canvas, it is 8" x 24" I believe...and I was thinking about painting a mermaid on it. I really would love to do a large color version of my old "Tailored Scales" pen and ink illustration...This is the one I am talking about:

    ...but I need to come up with a background idea and a color scheme. And part of me is a little bit jaded over the idea of just a plain old mermaid...so I might have to weird her out a little more...Hmmm...off to ponder on this and other lady creatures, I'm sure.
    xo!

    Tiny Travels Alien pin up painting, Dragon Square 9, new ACEOs, + Zazzle fun!

    Wednesday, June 29, 2011, 9:20 PM [General]

    Oh my gosh...
    I am pretty much up to my eyeballs in sketches to be made into art. Too many ideas, not enough hands, table space, or time ahhh! Oh well, I suppose eventually I will get to them all :)
    I do have a few brand new pieces to share today- a gorgeous, green skinned alien pin up, a new Dragon Square painting, and some new ACEO listings- both originals and prints. Plus, lots of new fun and awesome items up in my Zazzle shop!

    Very proud to introduce to you all my latest pin up painting- "Tiny Travels". She is a lovely green skinned alien creature, dreaming up adventures and otherworldly magic (and yes, I do have a mild obsession with hot air balloons). Lots of color in this painting! The original piece measures 8" x 10" (acrylics on canvas panel)...you can see all the specs, more detail pictures, and purchase info at the link below her picture:


    "Tiny Travels" original alien pin up fantasy art painting

    Another brand new original painting- "Dragon Square #9"- is up for auction on eBay! This piece features a teensy white dragon (whipped cream inspired) holding a cherry, sitting atop a mound of assorted sherbert! *nom nom nom* This is an original 5" x 5" painting (acrylics on wooden plaque). To see all the information, pics, and perhaps even place a bid ($15 to start), please visit the link below the picture:


    "Dragon Square #9" sherbert fantasy art auction

    Also new on eBay- "Lavender + Mint"- an original ACEO illustration! So sweet with a pretty, dark nymphette and a minty dragon! This little 2.5" x 3.5" illustration is up for auction with a starting bid of only $5! For all the details and such, check out the link below her picture:


    "Lavender + Mint" dragon fantasy ACEO illustration
    Of course, there is the usual slew of assorted art for auction- ACEO prints for 99 cents, other original dragons, pin ups, and the like...you can see everything HERE if you please :)

    Now...onto zazzle stuff! As you may or may not know, I have an ongoing love affair with Zazzle. I have recently received a T Shirt with my "Prep Monster" image on it, and it is deliciously comfortable! (you can get your very own one HERE!) At any rate, Zazzle is wonderful, and I've put up a TON of new items there recently! Everything from Zombie Ink Blot stickers to new sterling silver necklaces! To see all the new and wonderful things, just click the link below the picture of me in my new shirt:


    Em's new Zazzle items!
    And here is the link to Zazzle's coupon page, with the most updated discount codes: Zazzle Coupons

    I've been in dragon mode lately...they all just flocked to my studio and took over, and there's really not a lot I can do about it...other than attempt to appease their reptilian egos with lovely portraits and lots of fruit smoothies. Yeah, they really like smoothies, I don't know why. I'm hoping they will eventually want to go play at the beach, or get called away on some mysterious dragon mission, so that I can get to cleaning this place up and back to work...
    xo!

    I also have another of my ORIGINAL jester illustrations up for auction on eBay- "Sucker" features a pretty brunette pin up with a brilliant suit and some lollipops...Again, this is the original illustration; all the details and such can be found at the auction listing ($25 starting bid on her):


    "Sucker" original harlequin jester pin up illustration

    And a brand new ACEO! This is a nude- but she is tasteful, and there are no "bits" showing ;) She is titled "In Red" because...well, that's what she is. A simple shadowy woman. Lovely. This original ACEO is up for auction on eBay as well- she's got a $5 starting bid on her. To see all the info, please visit the link below her picture:


    "In Red" original nude shadow ACEO art
    Also, tons of other art auctions- everything from 99 cent ACEO prints to assorted originals :) To see them all, please click HERE!

    Now before I fly off back to my art world, I want to share the new items I have up in my zazzle shop! Some new T shirt designs featuring "Rabbit Ears" and "Prep Monster"- these are customizable, and zazzle has a large variety of styles, sizes, and colors to choose from! Check out all my shirt designs (newest are at the top of the page) by visiting the link below the picture:


    Em's T Shirt designs on Zazzle
    Also, a bunch of new postcard prints- all postcards are only $1.15 apiece, making them a wonderful way to collect my art for super cheap! See them all HERE!
    Additionally- you can find the latest coupon codes and promotional offerings from zazzle on their coupon page HERE! Currently I am seeing $5 off T shirts, 25% off postcards, 35% off posters/prints...and there's more! Go see!

    So, I've been working on some sketches that were a whim at first. Now they've grown into a "to be completed" series: a list of scribbled notes, some terrible 5 second sketches, and lots and lots of hemming and hawing on how much time to spend on them, as they are...personal...and I am pretty private with certain things. I guess. Sorry to be a tease. I'm sure I will figure it all out eventually. But I am also working on some other things; trying to keep the ball rolling with my "writing a comic once a week". Lots more dragons have been prancing around the studio lately. And some nude ladies. So...let there be art! Wait...I gotta make it first ha ha!

    New ACEOs- Grave Robyn (nude), Alice/Wonderland, + a nymph, plus Website update + what Em's up to...

    Wednesday, June 15, 2011, 9:38 PM [General]

    Well I managed to get a lot done today...surprisingly...
    A handful of new ACEO auctions, (plus a TON of other auctions!), a website update, a few sketches, a bunch of art mailed, house cleaned (kind of, good enough), laundry washed, folded, put away...sweet!

    Here's a new original ACEO- and I *LOVE* her! I almost did not list her...so if she gets no bids this round I will stash her in my personal collection. Just sayin'. I've titled this lovely brunette nude "Grave Robyn"...because I am a huge dork. This original 3.5" x 2.5" illustration is listed for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of only $5- to get all the info, more pics, and perhaps place a bid, visit the link below her picture:


    "Grave Robyn" original nude goth ACEO illustration
    I have censored her for the blog posts only, you can see the full version in the auction. ;)

    Anyway...How about an Alice in Wonderland themed ACEO? Well, I have one up for auction on eBay right now (she starts at $5)- it's called "Glimpse of Wonderland". I love the way it turned out; when I first sketched her out, she was just a girl looking in the mirror. I didn't know it would turn out like this! But hey, you can have this piece in your collection, if you like, by visiting the link below and placing a bid:


    "Glimpse of Wonderland" original ACEO illustration

    One more ACEO for the night- this one is "Le Potion"... I don't think that is proper French, and I did not bother to check, either, and I really should know because I took 4 years of French...yeesh :| Anyway, this pretty little nymph is working some sort of magick...She's listed at a $5 starting bid on eBay- please see the link below for more info:


    "Le Potion" original nymph fantasy ACEO illustration

    And...A whole bunch of ACEO Prints starting at 99 cents, and a handful of original paintings and/or illustrations starting at $15~ please please help me clean out my studio! I need more room for awesome! LOL!

    You can see everything that is currently listed right HERE!

    Meow...I have *finally* updated my website, after a month and a half of slacking. Shame on me! Of course, the situation has been remedied for the moment, with a handful of new images (available as prints and posters) in my galleries! Check out the new:


    Darkling Treasures official website- Updated!

    Random zombie sidenote- I only have FIVE (5) Limited Edition 8" x 10" prints of "Procession to Breakfast" left. The edition runs to 25, and we are currently at #20, so...get one while you can! They're $16 in my zombietoes etsy shop:


    "Procession to Breakfast" zombie silhouette limited edition prints- only 5 left ever!

    So...I've been working on some new dragon squares (I have a hypnotist and an ice cream theme at bat...) and some other side project silliness...:D Trying to stay as weird as possible without going too far into crazy. It ain't easy, I tell you what...;)

    New paintings- Short Circuit Circus/ Prep Monster, New ACEOs- fairy rock star + a mermaid! Plus, a decent ramble!

    Thursday, June 9, 2011, 9:03 PM [General]

    I was going to post this last night, but we got more crazy thunderstorms and I am a dork and don't like my computer on when it's like that...so I am posting now! :D I've got two new paintings to share, plus a few brand new ACEO originals, along with a BUNCH of art auctions on eBay...

    The first new painting is titled "Prep Monster"- she is a sort of self portrait, I suppose, of me at my day job...or how I wish I could be...or something. She is listed in my darklingemily etsy shop; there's a blurb written up for the painting, to give a feel of what was going through my mind when I came up with the concept for this piece. She is an original 11" x 14" acrylic painting (on canvas panel, wire hanger on the back)...Please do visit the link below her picture for all the info!


    "Prep Monster" original surreal fantasy art painting

    Some of you may have already seen this next new painting, as I listed her last week, but have not posted about her until now..."Short Circuit Circus" is a *really* weird piece, but I adore her just the same. It is summertime, so I am all circus-y in my head, and with all the storms lately, this is what my brain came up with...it's on the dark side, for sure, but only in a "get the crap outta there NOW" ominous kind of way ;) She is also listed for purchase in my darklingemily etsy shop; please visit the link below her picture for more details and information:


    "Short Circuit Circus" original dark fantasy art painting

    Onto the new ACEOs! Two brand new original illustrations, both up for auction on eBay with $5 starting bids: "Wishing Pond"- a lovely art nouveau-y mermaid ACEO, and "Noise"- a rock star fairy! (Who's a big dork? ME!) You can see the listings and even place bids if you want, at the links below the pictures:


    "Wishing Pond" original mermaid ACEO fantasy illustration


    "Noise" original fairy rock star ACEO fantasy illustration

    Do note the freakin' TON of original paintings, illustrations,and assorted ACEO prints are also up for auction on eBay...Some fantasy, some pin up, even a few zombies thrown in...to see everything currently up for auction, just click HERE!

    I am planning on going out of town later this summer, and I need to make sure everything is in order before I go...so...please help me on my mission to accomplish this, and get some art you really love, all at the same time! I also still need room on my studio walls, so *really* if there is something you see that you would like to own, do not be afraid to bid! I am trying to put everything up at the lowest possible prices, which is kind of a nono, but ta hell with it. I can always make more, I AM making more, there's too much ahhhh!! LOL! sorry for the self justification. As a last resort, I can always huffily throw my hands in the air and say to myself "I am an artist, I can do whatever I want!" Which is just terrible. *eyeroll*

    That's where I'm at. Working on a few commission pieces, then onto a new painting!

    Em, kids are easy, unless they are driving you crazy, which in my opinion they do on purpose because adults don't give them enough credit for how smart they really are. LOL. Oh and NOBODY WANTS to be an adult, not even adults. Children are wonderful! I have worked with then most of my life. You will do just fine, they LOVE creative people, trust me they will think you are cool! The little ones will love your cute cartoon charaters and the older one to teenagers will love the zombies! So you have it all covered.
