I'm STILL here...and I have wonderful news!

This very cool lady bought my piece, Rabbit Hole, yay! And she said it was her very first art purchase. Very sweet! :)

There it is in black & white, with that sweet RED mark saying it has SOLD, yay!!!

My 3 pieces (not including Rabbit Hole) at Wonderland. All made for the show. And with Wonderland love. :)

Hi friends and fellow bloggers. Woweee, things have been kinda hectic but in a good way. I was part of an art show last week, Wonderland, in Detroit. And YAY, one of my pieces sold. Very exciting. The performance was quite great too...as was all of the art up in the gallery over last weekend.

And now for even more exciting news-Wonderland will be going on for one more weekend, yay! And it's this weekend, which so happens to be the same weekend as my 2nd art show of the year, Bad Channels, a cult film inspired art show. Umm....this is never gonna happen again! That is 2 art shows in a day that I'm attending...both with my art. Yikes, out of control!

OK, just wanted to say HI & BYE and a FYI. Ok, that's a bit cheesy...but you know what I mean. Take care friends! Oh, and I'm on FaceBook btw (Eve Noir, Detroit)...just like everyone else in the world right now. LOL. Adios!~~~

Cellar Door (for cult film art show)

I made this (Cellar Door) for an upcoming art show which is all about cult films. This piece was inspired from one of my fave films, Donnie Darko. I still have to put hinges on the door but other than that, it's finished. Sooo, what does "Cellar Door" mean? Well, I guess it's anyone's guess...and this is my interpretation of it. Hope you dig it! Take care.~




On the back of the cellar door...




What you see when you open Cellar Door. Yesssss....it's a collage of Frank & Donnie. And many of you know I love collages so it wasn't a hard decision to make. Plus some of my fave quotes from the film too!

Yes, the back is bigger than the front but it's ok. I want to put the door kinda in the middle of the back (aka: the collage). I'll post a pic of the finished piece when the time comes. :)

Not so much a BIG announcement

Well, as some of you've seen in a previous post I said I had a BIG annoucement to make. Well, after much thinking I've decided something...and now it's really not that BIG of an announcement. (Which is a good thing, I think!) So here's the story...

• I was planning on just taking a "break" from blogging for a bit. Maybe a month or so...but as I said above, I've thought about it and have decided that I know I will want to post something or another so I still will be blogging...just not as much. (As I love my blog and you guys too much!) And I know I say that often, but I do really have matters to attend to...and I can't put them off. The main thing is a personal issue that I can't get into here, but it's o.k....I'm not getting sent to prison or anything ;) ...just have to do something that is going to take some time (much thought, ugh!) and effort.


• So for those of you who talk to me personally, you know through email or FaceBook, you may know what's up...and for those who don't, like I said, it's not the end of the world. Just a certain something that has to be taken care of. And if we speak through email, just know I may not be able to get back to you as quickly as before. BUT as for you FaceBook friends, you know I'm there pretty often, and we can chat from time to time of course! Don't be afraid to IM me. I'm usually doing nothing much besides pondering. ;)

• SOOOOoooo, in the meantime this week is Mike's week off from work (aka: vacation) so we'll be doing some stuff and just relaxing (although I do work my normal schedule still). I am also going to be part of another local art show, YAY!, taking place in December. I finished up one piece over the weekend and the other I'm still working on...and I'm unsure if that one will be in the show. We'll see. It's an art show that's theme is Cult Films, and I chose Nightmare Before Xmas. {The piece I did is called "Scary Teddy"-pictured above-and is a character, though a small part for him, in one of my fave films.}


• OK, that is all. Hope you're all doing well and be chatting with you later. ~XoX~

Scary Teddy rough sketch

No I didn't sketch the one below. I WISH! That one I simply found off Photobucket. That's the best picture I could find of him. Isn't his smile contagious? LOL. ;)

My friend is going to be putting together a CULT FILM art show soon. And it will be going on sometime in December. I would like to be a part of it but I was torn to what I wanted to make...and what movie to choose. So I thought about it and although I love my mixed media work (and think I'm better at those than strictly at painting)...I'm going to try painting something.

If you don't know by now, I love to paint BIG. I'm not good at little details so the bigger the better for me. :) So guess what I chose? Nightmare of course! I know a lot of people will probably be doing Nightmare but I chose a character that isn't a BIG character but still a character that I love and think is cute...and possibly not so difficult to paint. And some of his merch is out there...and I have some so I think he's pretty important.

He's only known as Scary Teddy...but I always think of him as a bat because he flys around with his little cape. So I got a 20 x 20 piece of canvas and decided to sketch this morning. And I never sketch...not because I'm lazy but because 1-I'm not good at drawing and 2-Painting is something that I personally feel doesn't need to be sketched out (I'm better at just "going for it" I suppose). So what you see above is just rough sketches on Scary Teddy. Things could change but overall I just want his face...and his cute & creepy BIG grin to be the dominant part of the piece.

I hope you all are doing well, as I know many of you aren't feeling well (and that includes me too, ugh). I might be going to an art show tomorrow. Unsure at the moment...but it is a group from Ohio who do mixed-media (self-taught) pieces {Hey, that's me!}. So I would love to see others mixed media works because I don't see too much of it at shows I've been to lately. OK, take care & chat with you later.~
