Fantastic. Makes me want to curl up on the couch with a big bowl of popcorn for a good old-movie monster fest.

MummysLittleMonster [2007-11-15 07:11:39 +0000 UTC]

Oh man...I love this. The leopard print background is an excellent touch! Do you ever sell your originals? I would buy something like this for sure!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

EmmaMount In reply to MummysLittleMonster [2007-11-15 10:41:13 +0000 UTC]

that's all i sell right now, just the originals, never got round to making prints or anything, so pretty much once they're gone they're gone
i'll be sad to see this one go but its always great if someone really loves what you did

MummysLittleMonster In reply to EmmaMount [2007-11-19 16:37:54 +0000 UTC]

You should consider doing prints! I know your stuff would sell well enough and its a nice way to continue making a profit off an image even its sold. I know how you feel. I had a really hard time parting with my first few sales...but now I'm getting used to it. Its still hard but not as depressing haha.

HillaryWhiteRabbit [2007-11-12 20:52:47 +0000 UTC]

Amazing! Neat that you chose a circular canvas. It has that feel of those old monster artworks too, while your style still shows through (great background!). Lovely.

EmmaMount In reply to HillaryWhiteRabbit [2007-11-13 10:29:29 +0000 UTC]

thanks hills, that background is pure me i'm afraid, there's only so much leopard print i can sneak into the house before i get into trouble, have to start using it in my paintings instead to get my fix!!
i loved having a go on a circular canvas, it made what was a straight portrait much more interesting, may do more.....

sorry haven't looked into publishers yet, 3 weeks to go, no energy, and stuff is really catching up with me now, but i promise will do it!!

HillaryWhiteRabbit In reply to EmmaMount [2007-11-13 15:20:16 +0000 UTC]

It is pure you! I didn't really know it came in purple... my friend Mindi would flip, she's a purple-freak. But it also works for the bride Great work!

Don't worry about the pubs... all in good time. 3 weeks! You must be excited! Save that energy for late-night pickle-eating.

EmmaMount In reply to HillaryWhiteRabbit [2007-11-13 16:07:54 +0000 UTC]

late night mars bar eating you mean!

i don't know if it comes in purple either, i just copied the pattern of a regular leopard print cushion i have here, and changed the colours to see what would happen, kinda thought purple went better with her green skin

HillaryWhiteRabbit In reply to EmmaMount [2007-11-13 19:18:20 +0000 UTC]

Oops, yes. Who eats pickles? I don't...

Trickery! That's clever though, good choice The purple really makes it pop.

You're the coolest

avacreat In reply to EmmaMount [2007-11-13 20:02:29 +0000 UTC]

Hi my sweet!
Yes, like for you, time is going crazy, so fast! I spend all my time teaching to teanagers (perspective, color harmony, drawing, etc.). I am very happy because they always surprise and amaze me with their questions, their feeling, that's sincerly an interesting work, I didn't know before. The bad side is that I didn't touch a pencil since June and it really depress me.... I don't want to become those people who talk about art and never do a sketch.... That's so frustrated!
Let me know what is going on for you and your familly
xoxo my dear rocking girl

hi ava
it is a shame you haven't been able to paint, i have missed seeing my ava girls but i'm sure your brain is storing up loads of ideas without you realising it, ready for when you do have some free time on your hands!
I am due to give birth in just 11 days now, i am excited and terrified at the same time

much love to you ava
note me your address so i can send you a christmas card
