Wednesday Addams

A small midweek painting I finished up last night, thought I'd post her up. Having a lot of fun painting all these creepy little paintings lately! I've started preparing and making a few items for Halloween, for the shop. Below is a little peek at one of the jewelry designs I'll have up for grabs when September rolls around. Can't wait to share the rest of them!  Also, a few pieces of original art and a new print were added to the shop earlier today, stop by and have a look :)

The Postmortem Tea Society

Above is a painting I finished last week, The Postmortem Tea Society. The start of a series of paintings I'm enjoying so much! The love, care and time spent on painting these new works lately has felt so satisfying and fulfilling. I've been dying (ha!) to illustrate a good ghost story or something in the horror genre, painting these are helping to satisfy that craving. After painting a really enjoyable Nancy Drew commission last month (below), it's really been stuck in my brain to paint more ghosts and things. Hoping to get a nice amount of painting done on these by the end of the summer. The Postmortem Tea Society will be a limited print of 10 or 15 pieces in the fall.

Will update more soon about some upcoming gallery shows, books & comics coming out in the coming months.

July Update

A few new necklace designs available in my shop this summer! 

Finally have a moment to sit and write a proper entry! The past few months have been...exhausting. Between work, convention prep and attending the actual conventions, I'm really looking forward to a nice quiet summer working at home! This was the first year I decided to attend three conventions in a row and to be honest, not too sure I'll be doing that again anytime soon! 

More items available in my shop!

Last show was Heroes Con, in NC. Fun show this year! below are a few of the pre-con commissions painted for pick-up at the show. I've been getting a ton of e-mails about commissions lately, I hate to say it, but I'm really pulling back on the number of commissions I'm taking from now on. While I love painting them, I'm going to be focusing on painting a bit more for myself, gallery shows and personal projects in my free time (plus work assignments!). I do have a small list for the fall-winter months, but am not taking on nearly as many paintings as I was. 

On that note, I finally got some time to reopen my Etsy shop! I will be updating it often and selling a few originals, prints, jewelry, tote bags, (possibly some custom vinyl toys!), etc. I'm going to try and have new collections of jewelry and prints in the shop each season. I'm getting really excited for the coming fall months, especially planning out Halloween jewelry and art! 

*ALSO*, The release date for My First Ghost is right around the corner! I'll update before the release with any signing/launch events coming up in the NYC area :)
