Hi everyone!

I have a new painting to show you tonight! One of my best yet, and she is the first of a brand new series of paintings featuring Vampires. I have prints up already too! Also - just a quick head's up - I just received notification that the Celebration Spring Art Festival has been canceled/postponed until 2011. So I (and everybody else) will not be there, hehe. So instead, if you were planning on coming to that show - I suggest instead coming to see me at MegaCon next month, also right here in Orlando! March 12th-14th (coming up very soon!) at the Orange County Convention Center, I will have a huge 20' booth full of original artwork, prints, canvases, merchandise, books & more. I'll be there all day for all three days, and of course I'll be painting =) For more info visit:

MegaCon Info Here

All right, the new original painting! The first in my new series of paintings called "I Vampiri" (which is Italian for The Vampires) - a new line of paintings that feature vampire beauties inspired by Italian Baroque & Italian Renaissance themes and aesthetics. This first painting is called "I Vampiri: Bellissimo Letto" (which means "the beautiful bed) and it is a BEAUTY! This really is a gorgeous painting - a vampiress in her Renaissance finery - standing in front of an ornate bed and clutching a goblet. At first it may appear to simply be a lovely noblewoman, but upon closer inspection you may notice the hint of a bloody disturbance in the background - are those bloodstained handprints on the wall? Are those pearly fangs at her lips? And what is that mysterious red fluid in her chalice? Hmmm.... This is a LUSH painting - the subtle sfumato paired with the deep jeweltones really makes this piece special. This is my own original acrylic painting, and she is 16"x20" on a 2" deep cradled masonite panel (birch sides painted glossy black - no frame needed) - ready to hang, with a hanger already on the back ready to pop on your wall!She is up for auction starting at just ONE PENNY on eBay with no reserve, for a 10 day auction ending the evening of Friday, March 5th at 6:00 PM Central Time Click below to see her:

Hand Painted Canvas prints for "Alice and Las Meninas," "Cello Storm," and "Babirusa Skull" - each starting at a penny.

Also a quick head's up - I will be out of town for just 2 days, leaving in the morning. I'm going to be up north at Hamilton Collection headquarters for some scheduled business meetings, product development, brainstorming, a photo session & videotaping. So - I'll be back Saturday morning. No worries though - it won't be long enough to affect any sort of shipping or orders, just maybe a 1 day delay on emails, etc. But it is a good thing - very fun future projects are developing....

******

The new original paintings - the 76th and 77th paintings in my "Faces of Faery" series - my popular series of paintings I've been working on that featuring beautiful faces from all corners of the world of Faery. Each is READY TO HANG - you don't need a frame - 6"x6" in size and on 2" gallery style cradled masonite, original acrylic paintings (not prints of any kind). The great thing about my "Faces of Faery" series of paintings is that they are all the same size and are intended to hang beautifully in a group as well as on their own - for example they make fabulous groupings of several paintings together (I hung up nine of them on my wall in a square shape and it looked fantastic!).

Hi everyone!

Here is what has been OBSESSING me for the past three days....

I have a new painting to show you tonight! One of my best yet, and certainly one of the largest I have ever offered for sale. Also - the LONGEST time I've ever spent on a single painting, hehe. "Alice and Las Meninas" - my first "Alice" painting of the year! She's up in my eBay store (where she will remain until purchased, or else will come with me to MegaCon or the Celebration Spring Art Festival, so if you want her - grab her now!)! I have prints up already too!

All right, the new original painting! "Alice and Las Meninas" is the title - one of my favourite Alice in Wonderland paintings I've done yet (heck, one of my favourite paintings of any kind I've done yet)! This is the third painting in my sub-series called "Alice in Other Lands" which are paintings featuring Alice in a variety of unusual circumstances, thrown into settings inspired by my love of art history (be sure to check out the first two installments honoring Bosch and da Vinci). Here we have my Alice on the set of one of the most beautiful and famous paintings in the world - "Las Meninas" (the Handmaidens") by 17th century painter Diego Velázquez - the epitome of Spanish Baroque. This is of course my version (for comparison, check out Picasso's Las Meninas, hehe). In my painting, Alice is playing the little princess (Infanta Margarita of Spain). Lewis Carroll has a cameo as the painter in this piece (Velázquez). The handmaidens truly must be from the court of the Queen of Hearts. In the distance you can see the Mad Hatter sneaking out the back, the Duchess holding a squealing pig, and the King of Hearts looking typically downtrodden and bedraggled. And lo and behold, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum have squeezed their way into the portrait too. Also if you look at the portrait on the back wall, you may see the White Rabbit! My favourite part though has got to be the devilish Cheshire Cat who has seemingly replaced Velázquez's faithful hound. This is a painting celebrating my loves of Alice in Wonderland and Baroque art - no reason why the two shouldn't go together! I've always thought that Alice's adventures should continue into many other bizarre tales, and you can expect to see more from me in the future. My own lowbrow big eyed take on Velázquez's work was one of my largest paintings to date, and took longer than any other painting I've completed (over three days, which is a long time for me!). This is my own original acrylic painting, completely painted by hand. PS - this painting is HUGE - almost four feet wide! Could totally hang over a sofa or headboard and make the room fantastic! Framed it measures 44" wide by 32" high (it is the ORIGINAL painting - acrlyics on a 36"x24" masonite panel). A huge, ornate, antique style picture frame. Tiny carved details suit the Baroque theme. It's an open wood frame with a posh antiqued golden finish - this really is a stunning piece - it truly can be the focus of any room. It's up at a fixed price in my eBay store where it will remain unless purchased or else brought to my art show at MegaCon (or possibly the Celebration Spring Art Festival) in March. So if you want her - get her now (or come to one of the shows!). Click below to see her:
