Back from the grave?

Okay, see, this is why I told mom I shouldn't create a blog. I never, ever, ever post.
But there is news to be had and I am here to deliver it.

Firstly, I got accepted into Montserrat with a 32k scholarship. Woo!

Secondly, I've won a total of 3 awards this year for my artwork, and even placed first in one of the art shows for a self portrait I did in pencil. Mind = blown. I never thought I'd win awards for my artwork, but I guess I was sorely mistaken.

Thirdly, I got to meet one of my favourite artists Alex Pardee two weekends ago in NYC while he was in town for his Sketch 4 Sketch tour. That was a pretty inspiring visit for me, I'm amazed at how dedicated he and Dave Correia are to this tour. They sketched drawings for every person in line for 8. hours. I don't think I'd ever be able to do that.

I'll update more of my own art later, I've got to get ready to see Iron Man 2 with my braintwin today!

I'm exactly what I seem.

Hello fiends one and all.
Just a quick update since my last was at the beginning of October. OCTOBER!

I'm just going to post a drawing I finished today. I tole some gray paper from my art teacher and had some fun with crosshatching.

"When The Stars Are Right..."

This is very much inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu." I just recently finished the book of stories I bought by him, and I've fallen in love, almost more so than with Edgar Allan Poe. Expect more Lovecraftian artwork in the future.

I've also got a portfolio review up at Montserrat on Saturday. Nerves, I have them. Wish me luck, the few of you who read this! I'm going to need it.

Now, I need to go finish taking my shower. I got out to read and update by my favourite werewolf Curtis Rx over on his blog "Villains and Vaudevillians" If you're a fan of Creature Feature and don't know about his blog already, I suggest heading over. It's full of ghoulishly delightful stories, poems, and weird news snippets.

Stay Spooky!

Deep into that darkness peering

Time for me to post another new painting!
(paints really are the best thing to happen to me, no?)























Mr. Edgar Allan Poe

Done with acrylic paint on canvas. I think it took around 4 hours to complete.
I'm very, very proud of this piece. It's my first "portrait" in paint.
It's also fitting, seeing as this year was the 200th' anniversary of his birth!
My mother, Darci and myself went down to Baltimore this August to go visit Mr. EAP's gravesite. It was great fun. I'd hoped I'd be able to go to the Poe Museum to meet Gris Grimly but it's sadly not to be.

IN OTHER NEWS.
I miiight be getting a tattoo apprenticeship in the next few weeks. Maybe. If I play my cards right and build a good portfolio, I actually might have a good chance. I've got my fingers crossed!

Until next time!

Just Scarecrows to War.

Okay, so, it's 7:12 AM and I don't have to start heading to school until 8:15 am. Yay for senior privileges!

So, I thought I'd share my two recent pieces of artwork.
We'll go from newest to oldest.






















This one is called "Nevermore."
It's water colour and acrylic paint on watercolour paper and it took me about 9 hours to complete. This is my first time using acrylic paint seriously, and I love how it looks. Paint is honestly the best thing to happen to me, I think.
The raven was actually a last minute addition suggested by my friend Dani.























This painting is titled "The Death of a Dollmaker." It was inspired by an instrumental piece by Creature Feature of the same name. I used ink and watercolour for this piece, plus a little bit of coloured pencil in the background. I cannot remember the exact amount of time it took me to complete this one, but it was more than 5 hours.

I'm currently working on another, smaller painting, and then I'm gonna start on commissions (well, that is, when I start getting some commissions....) but, anyways, I might post that here when it's finished.

7:23. Less than an hour to until I've gotta get to school.

We go graverobbin’ when the full moon shines above.

I got myself a new blog. For some reason, my layout on the old blog was fucked up something horrible.

Anyways, hello my fiends.
I'm Miss Delirium, but you probably already know that. I like to draw and paint and sing along to music when no one else is home.. and now you're gonna pretend that you didn't read that last bit.

So, I've not blogged in a while. What is up, you ask? Nothing, really. I've started school again and my classes are nice. I've got two photography classes this semester. Next semester brings Theater Production and Painting.
The one big thing is that I'm trying to get out to L.A. October 29th-November 3rd to go see Creature Feature on Halloween. Seeing as I live in Connecticut, this isn't gonna be cheap.
So...

If I were to open up commissons, would anyone buy?

I need to raise all $300 for the plane ticket myself and seeing as how I have no job and it’s very unlikely I’ll get a job before October 29th, this is going to be hard. I've already got the okay from my mom for the trip itself.

I can draw, paint, ect. I might even do a couple of doll commissions if they’re not too difficult and the like. I’m really desperate here.

If you want to see my work, all my stuff is up on my DeviantART.

If anyone shows an interest, I’ll figure out the prices then.

So, yeah. Thanks in advance to anyone who decides to commission me. It'd help a bunch <33 id="gwProxy" type="hidden">
