acrylic on canvas, 8x10.
This was commissioned by someone awesome who told me to just paint anything.


This was bound to happen...
In other news, I'm having a small sale at my Etsy shop. A couple of prints are on clearance, as well as some Halloween drawings. Some paintings have been reduced pretty low, too. So check that out!

I'm having a small sale on 8x10 prints at my etsy shop. I've listed a couple more originals as well.

a sketch + AHHHHHHH + etsy stuff

I was working on my piece for the Drawgasmic show I mentioned a couple posts ago, but something was feeling very off about it, and I couldn't fix it. So I just started it over. Everything is better now. Tonight, we ink.

Yesterday I went to a used furniture store in town to see what they had in the way of couches. The place had a hobo kind of smell to it. Most of the sofas were threadbare or covered in interesting stains and ridiculously overpriced. But! The trip was not for naught. This dummy was in an upstairs back room that I probably wasn't supposed to go in, and it was creepy as all getout. So there was that.

In other news, these here paintings...
...are now up for sale at my Etsy. I'm trying to get rid of as much as I can before I move, so I'll be listing more things in the near future as well. I'm also very trade friendly so if someone had, say, a couch or a scary dummy they would give me in return for a bunch of paintings, I would probably be into that.

april showers.

I'm not dead! Just busy! Some things:

1. A painting I've been working on for a lovely lady who won a contest I held over at devART.


2. I will be participating in the Drawgasmic art show in July. I'm going to get my piece for it finished up this week so a look at that will be coming up soon.
3. I was featured in a Keep It Weird article at Etsy earlier this month, and I've had a steady flow of activity ever since so that's been nice. I started this experiment unsure about my expectations, but I'm thrilled with the results thus far. Though, I keep wanting to spend all the money I make on steampunk/horror themed bath and beauty products, soooo not sure that's the best side effect.

4. I spruced up my website a little. No more template layout, but nothing fancy. There's only so much I can do with a wysiwyg editor before I start bashing my head through the screen. Getting a real website is definitely on the agenda, as is an overhaul of this here blog.

5. I'm going back to school in the fall, meaning I'm going to try to get as much done as possible this summer before both my time and soul are sucked away by the cruel institution of higher education (I signed up for a physics class next semester! What the hell was I thinking? About Prince of Darkness, probably.)

more prints!

A few folks have wondered if was going to make some of my older works available as prints and the answer to that is, Why yes!

I have updated my shop with several new prints of work both new and old. Of the old drawings, deadhead and little accidents look especially nice, if I do say so myself.

art for sale + books.

These paintings are now for sale at my etsy shop.

Books I read in February:
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt
Tesla: Man Out of Time by Margaret Cheney
Hearts West: True Stories of Mail-Order Brides on the Frontier by Chris Enss

It was nonfiction month, I guess. I loved them all save for Hearts West, which was okay but maybe I wasn't in the mood. I've read another of Chris Enns' books, Tales Behind the Tombstones, and that one was pretty great. I was on an Old West kick at the time, though. Currently I'm more interested in science. And apparently people who shoot other people.
