Sneak Peeks for the Holiday Show




Scary Teddy from Nightmare Before Xmas



Sally from Nightmare Before Xmas



I'm thinking I'm going to attach these tags. Because we are responsible for selling our art at the show. So that means I have to leave some sort of contact info on it. I thought the "magic movement gift tags" (yes the package says that) were a good idea.
I'm dropping off my three pieces tomorrow. Yes I have one more but that's a secret.

OH & feel special because I haven't posted these on my FaceBook page yet. ;)

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.~

Random Cellphone Pics: Part 3 of Lots o' Random Stuff

I HEART this lil' creature SO much from Nightmare.
@ my new fave store...LIFT in Royal Oak.
I have a small plushie of him...as well as several lil' figures....
from over the years.

After I uploaded this picture I noticed it's PHOTO number on my cellphone.
Any guesses to what it is?
Yeah it's PHOTO 0666.
Nice, hm....
I thought so. ;}

Street art found in Royal Oak.

Awww, this lil' guy is up on display at Michaels. I want him...:(
Can someone please make me one?
I not very good with fabrics...and yarn...
and that kinda stuff.
Would love to be...but woe is me. :)

I've been putting off getting these KEYS because of their price.
I'm sure they are worth it but DARN, 9.99 is a lot for ONE item at the craft store for me. (Well, when you get a lot of lil' things- like glue, paper, paint, etc-at once, like I've been doing lately, 9.99 seems like A TON!)
But again, they are really nice looking!....

So I will prob get 'em with a coupon &...
this week I have 2 (from Michaels)...
and they are for 50% off a regular priced item.
So I'll be cool paying the 4.99!

You can make your very own skelly or squelette.
Is that the French word for it? I like it!

And he was on display too.
I would want mine painted though. :)

It's the....
I-Juke.
Found at Target.
Not a bad price...
99.99.

My dad has an old old jukebox in his garage...
and I've always wanted it for here.
But it's gonna be a b*tch getting it into our basement.
Those things were not made out of light stuff!
He's threatening to throw it out....
NOOOO!

CVS Pharmacy, are you hiring JUST anyone?
Cuz I think that's a fake name...
hmmm....
No, I just think it's freakin' hilarious.

Me: "Hi, can I talk to the pharmacist?"
Employee: "Sure, let me go get SHINY for you."
"Who/What!?!"
"Well, Shiny George of course!....
He's the best pharmacist around!"
Oh, and there's an ANNS too, not ANN, ANNS...wha''''?!?

Oooo, pretty bottles.

This sounds like a drink you don't want to touch.
Unless Lolita means something else in Mexico. Hmmm....curious.

Packaging oh packaging,
...how you are so artsy sometimes!??
I wouldn't drink you...I'll just look. ;}

The names they come up with.
I'd rather have a XXX rated please!

YES, there is still more to come. OMG, are you sick of these yet!??!
I was on a roll for a couple weeks.
But I gotta ease it up or I'm gonna take up ALL my pic space & I got 3 blogs so sadly these kinda posts won't last forever....:(...I guess unless I start a whole other blog just dedicated to my pics. Wait! OH NO, I wouldn't do that!!! That would be BLOG #4. And then I would never sleep...eat...or....SHOP! Don't worry, it's not gonna happen.
Adios for now my friends.~
