Sentimentally Deranged

I just finished a new series titled Sentimentally Deranged consisting of 3 paintings.  All 3 are done on a 4" x 4" x 1.5" wood artists block with acrylics.  I also wrote poems for each one that tie the entire series together, I think, quite well.  Each of them are now available in my Etsy Shop for the very reasonable price of only $30 each for these original pieces.  So in order from 1 - 3 here they are...

Sentimentally Deranged - BLACK STAR

Darkness falls and shadows fade

your words pierce through me 

like the sharpest blade

the stars turn black as the light goes out

there is no more reason

to scream and shout

In my pain I call out for you

as the darkness surrounds me

I know that you feel it too

 

Sentimentally Deranged - BAT GIRL

They all think they know her so well

they dont know that 

behind her mask she secretly dwells

hiding all her pain and tears

its not a life 

to have to live in constant fear

but in her mask she feels strong

gives her the power

to feel like she can go on

that and the creatures of the night

they make her feel 

like she can win any fight

so forever in disguise she'll stay

forever being the Bat Girl

to this very day!

 Sentimentally Deranged - PINKY

She plays the princess with her pink hair

the perfect life, no reason to care

but they don't know the pain she hides

all the heart ache she feels deep inside

the hurt and tears they all get locked away

the keys been thrown out so forever buried they'll stay

she'll put on a smile just as she's been shown

forever the "perfect" princess, sad and alone

New Paintings

I have 3 new paintings to share with you today and a couple of more on the way as soon as I get them photographed as well.   As some may have already noticed I have started writing poems to go with each of my new paintings just as I have always done with my art dolls and I am totally addicted to it! lol  It just happens without even thinking about it now, as I am painting the picture I am writing the poem in my head at the same time, I dont think I could stop even if I tried lol So for each of my originals that have a poem assocciated with it I will be including the poem either written on the back where possible or if it isn't possible then it will be included printed on a separate card.  All three of these originals are now available in my Etsy Shop and just the first 2 are available there in print form as well.   These are the new paintings and their poems....

My Pet Monster

8" x 10"

acrylic on canvas panel

My pet monster

best friend I ever had

through all the good times

and even all the bad

we walk the streets together

some people gawk and stare

when you moan "hi" to them

it gives them quite the scare

I don't mind when you drool

and your eyes rolls in your head

your still totally cool 

and always welcome in my bed

and when your limbs and tail

fall off and need repair

I can stitch them on again

I will always be right there

Zombie Ballet

6" x 8"

acrylic on canvas panel

Ever so gracefully 

she dances all around

across the floor

up and down

as she performs

the Zombie Ballet

ever so beautifully

on this special day!

Zombie Kittie

4" x 4" x 1.5"

mixed media on artists wood block

My Zombie Kittie 

is so cool

even though

she moans and drools

shes always there

if I feel sad

to cheer me up

by being bad

we always have

the very most fun

even when 

we get chased by guns

there's always room 

in my cozy bed

for my zombie kitty

even if shes undead

ACEO Swap

For the new year I have taken part in an ACEO Swap going on within the ACETSY Team and I just finished mine last night!  For anyone unsure of what an ACEO is...

ACEO = Art Cards Editions & Originals

must be 2.5" x 3.5" in size and can be any medium

very collectible and quite often traded 

when trading they are often referred to as ATC

ATC = Artists Trading Cards

 For this swap they must be new originals done for the swap so my partner and I decided on a theme that was "Dark, Raven, Crow, Gothic" and so this is what I came up with...

This ACEO is titled "Cheer" and is mixed media done on a piece of linen canvas paper.  I used an old page out of a book, modge podge, gesso, Rooibos Tea to stain and acrylic paint and ink for the picture.  It is signed, titled and dated on the back and comes with a certificate of authenticity which is also pictured with it.  As well I wrote a little poem to go with it and it is also written on the back of the artwork.   This is the poem...

He stands and waits

he watches the clock

time ticks by

tick tock tick tock

here it is

a brand new year

he celebrates

the loudest cheer!

Would love to hear your comments or criticisms below...

New Art To Ring In The New Year

Sorry I have been so absent on here so far this year but it is only because I have been sooooo busy creating!  So I figured it was high time I took a moment to share some of all these new creations on here.   To see everything as I make it be sure to follow me on Facebook and you will never miss anything again but I will also try to work in more time to post on here as well!

I have been busy making creepy cute hand painted wooden magnets ....

Also I have introduced a new line of art dolls that can be used in a variety of ways! They hang from a 3" ribbon so you can use them as an ornament, a key chain, hang from your car rear view mirror or anywhere else you can dream up!  Here are just a few but surely check out my Etsy Shop to see the whole line as each one is unique and one of a kind! (except for Moe as I know I have quite a few fans of Moe that would be interested in getting one so I have made a few already and will make as many of him as I need to!)
