A productive weekend
A peek at this weekend's work : my final, and 6th piece for the upcoming show just got finished. I present Nautilla (also known as Squidface) with her pet armadillo. ♥And one of those paintable toy Munnies a-la my character Density

DIRECT FROM ARTIST means Krisztianna gets a slighty larger percentage of the sale of her book since you would be purchasing it directly from her publisher at Createspace. |

Original painting is packed and shipped!
My 3rd ever original painting is packed and shipped, ready for its new home. It hasn't gotten easier to let go, but my first ever certificate of authenticity is pretty sweet and makes me feel good about sending her off.
I also have my first giclée print, embossed, signed, and numbered! Photos below.
Squidface Ebay Auction This Week!
It has been quite a few days since we last spoke.
Great news: Squidface : Introductions will be on Ebay for my readers and facebook fans this week! Yep, I'm having 25 limited editions prints made, so now the original is safe for bidding and shipping.
Its very exciting to have it available for you. Starting bid will still be $1.00. I will supply a link in a few days from a new account. The auction will be three days instead of one, simply because if its 3 days the listing is cheaper to post. I'm setting it up so the bidding ends on Thanksgiving day, a day of giving!
A little story about this piece:
Squidface is the nickname for a character in an illustrated novel I'm working on. She is rather shy, since she has a face full on tentacles and its a bit hard for her to make friends. Squidface's challenge is finding her voice, and this is why I am made this piece specifically for this auction: I hope to give her a voice by sharing her with you. Thank you all, again, for helping the fanpage get to 500 fans. Your feedback, support, and shares are inspiring and encouraging. Squidface would agree.
Remember, you will be bidding on the original!
Stay tuned!
EBAY Painting For 500 Fans FINISHED!
Hello and good evening!
The painting to celebrate 500 fans reached on Facebook is complete! So, here is what is going to happen:
• I get a good scan
• I get a some great prints
• I put this ORIGINAL (Yes, original. You read that right) painting up on EBAY at a starting bid of $1
• I send the link through my site and through Facebook so readers and fans have the direct link
• Bidding will open for one day which should benefit my regular readers
The painting is titled: Squidface : Introductions
The Story
Squidface is part of a small graphic novel that is still in its starting stages. In it, she befriends a character named Density - you may remember her in several poses from this painting, The Birth Of Density:
The original will get cut up into those 24 frames, and each will be part of a special edition package of my book "Sleepless". Don't worry! This quilt-painting will be available in one piece in print form - and there will be 24 special ones you can only get through the special edition Sleepless package. However, the original will only exist in pieces.
Also, in the last 20 pages of Sleepless there are a few sketches of Squidface and Density to clue you in on their budding friendship.
Progress #4 on “Ebay Auction For Fans” Painting
Its coming along! I am almost done.
Once again, this piece is to celebrate reaching 500 fans on my facebook page. When I finish and get it scanned properly for prints, I will supply a link to readers and fans to buy this original piece at a starting bid of $1. (plus shipping) I will keep the auction open only for 1 day. Its my way of saying thank you for your support.
Also on that day, I will tell you what this painting is about - rather...WHO she is.
Graphite, dip pen, india ink, watercolor
Progress #3 on “Ebay Auction For Fans” Painting
Nothing like a little dip pen action to get the lines going!
I also took some photos of my studio to share the environment of my process.
