Miss FrankenFright

I was recently commissioned to paint a 16" x 20" painting on art board of a dark skin nurse with wild black corkscrew curly hair holding a bleeding human heart.  This is what I came up with...  (keep scrolling down to read the poem that I wrote about this painting)  

Miss FrankenFright

16" x 20"

mixed media on art board

It started with a bang in war torn 1944

you think your safe

when you walk thru 

those hospital doors

until you meet the nurse of nightmares

she’s a terrifying sight

looking after her patients care

they call her Miss Franken Fright 

in the dimly lit hall she stands

holding the bleeding heart 

while its still beating in her hand

she’s just getting to the best part

she sings “spooky come and spooky go

what I do with my bleeding hearts

is only for the dead to know”

~ Lizzy Love

Undead Daphne

I am thrilled to introduce to you Undead Daphne a commissioned art doll that I just finished!  First let me tell you a little about her..

She is pretty big at 30 inches

her costume is half removable (hood comes off and unzips in the front)

her face is hand painted

she is 100% handmade by me even her hair barrettes

Undead Daphne just as cute as can be

she dresses all up so you wont see

hiding behind her fuzzy hood

just a poor little zombie so misunderstood

people just run and hide in fear

never knowing they’ve caused her so many tears

all she ever wanted was a bestest friend

someone to love and cuddle with til the end

then one day a girl named Megan came along

they laughed so much she knew her lonesome days were gone

always there for each other with a drop of a dime

forever together best friends for all time!

Technicolor Yawn

I would like to share with you the custom art doll I just finished. The request was for me to make a plush zombie bunny that looked like a rainbow threw up on it.  This is what I came up with...

Skizzy The Zombie Bunny

Original OOAK Art Doll by Lizzy Love

Skizzy The Zombie Bunny spazzin is what it’s all about

it maybe deranged, or psycho, a wee bit freaked out

forever stained by the rainbows Technicolor yawn

now all it can do is try n hide at the first break of dawn

the neon colors gleam so brightly in the light

then glow in the dark when the day changes to night

a misunderstood spaz ball that munches on dead flesh

another rotting corpse, that rabbit don’t look too fresh

visit my Etsy Shop to see more of my ooak art dolls or request your own custom doll!

Imagination

Since I was a little kid one of my most favorite quotes has always been "Sanity is the playground for the unimaginative!" I don't remember where I heard it as a kid, I just know that I loved it so much that I wrote it everywhere, in fact I think it is still plastered on my old bedroom door in my parents house. lol  You may have also noticed it at the bottom of my blog here as well and now its finally made an appearance in my artwork, its really about time! lol

I am very much up in the air about selling this painting, I love it that much!!! It may or may not get added to my Etsy Shop, I'm still deciding, but in the meantime here are some pics to share with you and you can order prints of it just follow the link below...

In My Art Journal

I've decided to give you a little peek inside my art journal today because the ACEO that I ended up creating yesterday originated there.  I actually have 2 art journals going at the moment, one is very rough, doodling, sketches and that sort of thing and the other is a mixed media journal for doing more painting and stuff however I rarely find the time to get to that one anymore.  So from the first journal...

After I did this little pencil sketch above yesterday I decided that he was just too darn cute to stay locked away in my journal as a pencil sketch and that he deserved his very own art card to be shown to the world!

So here he is in color...

So when its all said and done I think I like the original pencil sketch better then the ACEO! lol He just seems to look a little bit cuter in pencil then he does in color, maybe I chose the wrong colors?  I'm not really sure, or maybe its just me?  who knows, what do you think?  Is he cuter in pencil or color or does it not make a difference to you? I would love to hear your opinions, comments and criticisms in the comments below!

Thanks for looking! Ciao for now! ♥

Dream Big

Unfortunately I'm still not feeling very well but I wanted to share the ACEO that I finished, it was the WIP from yesterday.  I don't have anything started to show you at the moment and I didn't write a poem to go with this one yet either.  I do intend on coming up with a poem for this one at some point so I will probably come back and add it in eventually.  Hopefully I get feeling better soon and get things back on track around here!!  I have a big art show coming up August 24 & 25 weekend which is why I have been building my ACEO collection back up again amongst other things as well, just hard to do much when your sick! blah

I'm not feeling too well today so I'm just going to keep this post short and sweet.  This next pic is the ACEO that I am currently working on, I should have it done by tomorrow and will post the finished pics then.
