"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure.
I make mistakes, I am out of control
and at times hard to handle.
But if you can't handle me at my worst,
then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

New Art Line & New Prints & Giveaway!

Hello Everyone!


Since I last posted I debuted a new line of artwork on my website called the "Whimsies". The Whimsies are inspired strongly by kawaii artwork- I just love it!

Here is the link to my Whimsy Gallery;

The original line debuted with 3 artworks in June 2011. I have released 2 new Whimsy artworks to the public yesterday!

The first is entitled, "Do You Like My Hat?" and is inspired by those Dr. Seuss hats that used to be wildly popular when I was a teenager! I love those things, but they are so impractical now!

Do You Like My Hat?

You can find 8.5x11 prints, 5x7 prints, ACEO prints and very snazzy stationery of this image here;

The second is entitled, "Faery Kindergarten" and was originally a Sketchfest sketch. A lot of my finished pieces started out as Sketchfest sketches!

8.5x11 prints, 5x7 prints, ACEO prints and stationery can be purchased here;

I have many new artworks in various stages of completion, so keep an eye out for new prints being added throughout the rest of the summer!

Speaking of new artworks, I am currently working on another card for my highly anticipated Sidhe Queen Oracle! I am holding a giveaway for the first two people to correctly guess which Queen I am working on. If you go LIKE my Facebook fanpage, you will be eligible to enter and may possibly win 1 of 2 SIGNED 5x7 prints of the artwork when it is completed!

I plan on doing these giveaways semi-regularly as incentives for following my blog, following my Twitter account, and/or liking my Facebook fanpage. I might even feel snazzy and throw a giveaway for the most creative question asked on my Formspring account! So please stay tuned!

Now, I want to talk about licensing. Within the past two weeks I've signed 3 licensing deals! That's double the amount of deals I have currently- and trust me when I say I'm utterly stoked! I will be announcing the companies soon as well as updating my Licensing page on my website. Watch out world, here I come hehe! :D

Speaking of licensing, did you know that I am one of the featured artists on MyTagArt.com this month? That means all of my tubes are on sale! So if you are a digital scrapbooker, feel free to go over and take a look! :)

So by now, you should all have a working idea of how I am and know that a have a million things going at once at any given time! Among the other things I am currently involved in is building a wholesale section of my website, creating artwork to submit for a contest to Gypsy Rose catalog (I love their clothes), getting my artwork ready to submit to Expose Fantasy CG Art Book, and many other things I can't quite reveal yet. I am a busy girl! :)

Also, in another blog post/mailing list email coming soon I will talk more about something I am going to start providing, psychic readings! This has been something on my mind for a very long time and recently something happened to me that pushed me firmly in that direction. I took it as a sign from the Universe that this is what I should be doing! The story behind this is a blog post in and of itself that I will elaborate on soon! :)

Also also (hehe), before I forget, a writer has signed on to assist me in preparing material for The Sidhe Queen Oracle. Her name is Elizabeth Saenz and she is a gifted psychic, medium and reiki practitioner in her own right. I am incredibly excited and happy to be working with her and I find this whole process just wonderful. It is amazing how an idea, a gentle nudge can be created into something real!

Here is the link to Elizabeth's website;

Have a wonderful weekend! :)
