burning moon review.

My Sweet Roses ACEO card received a positive review from the Burning Moon's review blog :)

"This ACEO card arrived within two days and was neatly packaged between two small pieces of cardboard to keep it safe. The seller also included a business card and a cute thank you note. This small card has a lot of small fine details to it such as her eyelashes and eyebrows, each ACEO is a print of a larger version available for sale. Cards are about the size of the palm of a hand, any of her cards or prints would be good to frame and hang in a bedroom or living room. Perfect for any special someone on your list who enjoys a bright & detailed painting or print. Please check out Schin.etsy.com by clicking on her shop's name. "

This card is also up for a giveaway on her blog!

oh honey my baby.

My ACEO The Hunter and the Bird is in this beautiful treasury called

Oh Honey My Baby. Don't you think it's just adorable? :D

marilyn.

As a painter of women, I'm often asked who I think are the most beautiful women in the world. My list is always changing except for a select few classics, but one woman always remains the top of the list. Marilyn Monroe.

I can't really say why, though. She's definitely got a beautiful face, but there are many girls with beautiful faces. Her cheesecake films frankly, in my opinion, did not age very well into our modern times. I find myself appalled by the ludicrous plots sometimes. And perhaps her back story added to the appeal, too. It was heartbreaking to see how much she was suffering when people thought she had it all. But there's lots of people who suffer in the world, so that can't be it.

All I know is this- whenever Marilyn is on screen, I just can't tear my eyes away. I remember watching Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and feeling quite sorry for her co-star Jane Russell because whenever Marilyn is on screen, I just can't look at anything else. I had to drink up every move she makes.

Part of it is the way she smiles her most seductive smile. Her half closed sultry eyes really add to the sexiness.. her breathy voice, and the way she moves, and her gorgeous, healthy body unlike the stick thin girls of today... all of this add to who I think is my most perfect movie star of all time. The two Marilyn ACEOs above are just teasers.. some time in the future, I want to paint a full fledged painting of Marilyn that expresses all I feel about her.

Buffy with Rogue & Gambit

Commissioned cards of Buffy and Rogue with Gambit.
I had mad fun painting these :)!
Technically, Rogue would have sucked all the power out of Gambit once she touched him, but er.. I'm gonna call artistic license on this.

teacakes!

Everytime I make one of these cards, I just feel so happy!!
I try to pour forth all my cuteness and happiness into them,
and keep them innocent, childish and of course, super sweet.
The bottom two are already sold, but you can get the top two in my Ebay!

ink girls

Emotional Blackmail / Atalanta
The Queen of Invisible People / Protection

I do think I am hopelessly obsessed with ACEOs.
The originals are currently for sale on my ebay.

comic series II

Commissioned art trading cards. Good thing the commissioners gave me info about these comic book characters.. I had no idea who they were! But it was fun to make them and to find out about new characters. Wonder Woman is still my favorite though.

flower series

Flower series, this was a no brainer!
Rose, Cherry Blossom, Sunflower and Daffodil is up on ebay.

My favorite is Rose and Cherry Blossom of course.

Comic series

Original marker art! These are fun like hell to paint!

Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Slave Leia now on ebay!

Blueberry

This is my second original ACEO.
She's the cutesy blueberry girl, and I love her so. I think the next one will be blackberry.

The only part about ACEOs that I don't like is to measure out the dimensions of the card. I should probably make a template or something!

Strawberry

So I am going to use this blog to showcase my crafty side! I have been known to conjure all kinds of crazy stuff, and perhaps I should gather them into one blog that isn't my art blog.

To the left is an ACEO (Art cards, editions and originals) I made using Copic markers, of a cute lolita girl. I plan to make more based on this series of lolita fashion!
