First piece up for auction!

Here's my first original painting up for auction! Ice Cream Blobs, starting at $3.

From here, you can either bid starting at $3, or increase your price as bids get higher. If someone has already bid $3, you must bid higher than that. And so on and so forth. You can leave your bid via my comments section (click "Post a Comment") or email me your bid and I'll add it to the list.

Thank you SO MUCH in advance!!!

THIS BID WILL END AT 12:00 AM ON 7/12/09. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Blog auction starting TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT!!!

(A piece of original art up for sale)

Hello everyone! In an effort to ease financial stress regarding a surgery I need, I'll be listing art for sale on this blog for the entire month of July!!!

The way that this will work is:

ALL PIECES ARE NOW AVAILABLE AT ONCE! Each price is marked or best offer. Thanks!!!

Some of the pieces available for sale!

Here is the creative mess I've been living in! I've made 7 new paintings for this auction so far, and I have several more on the way. At the end of the month, higher-priced items will be up for bid, including three large scale pieces never posted on this blog.

I'm officially off of my health care now that I've graduated, and I need surgery on my left wrist more than ever. I'm hoping to ease the financial strain on my family and the physical strain on myself through this auction. I'm also available for requests and commissioned work.


I'm truly looking forward to this! It's gonna be fun!

Art Pick 5

(example of a Bamcat original!)

Here's your chance to get your own Bamcat original before they start costing millions of dollars! Here are the rules:

1. Whatcha get is whatcha get.
2. What I create will be special just for you.
   
3. It’ll be done by the end of this year (2009).
4. I will not give you any clue what it’s going to be. It will be something made in the real world, not something cyber. It may be weird or beautiful.
5. In return, all you need to do is post this text on your blog and make 5 things for the first 5 to respond to your blog post.
6. Send me your mailing address after I contact you.

All you have to do is leave a comment stating, "Pick me!" and the first 5 commentors will get a free original piece of artwork. BUT you MUST post this in your blog as well and commit to the rules to be eligible for your free art.


Yay for free paintings! <3>


Also, don't miss my auction post starting 7/09/09. I'm raising money for surgical expenses to have an inflamation removed from my wrist. My health care = nothing right now, so any contribution or request for paintings are truly helpful for me right now. So look out for the auction post tomorrow! It's for a great cause! Keep Allison creative!

Ice Cream People!

Happy 4th of July!

This cool kid named Brian Butler featured me on his Ice Cream People blog! Go check it out here! Ice cream + clowns is where it's at. This is the piece that I made for his series of Ice Cream People postcards. You can check out the rest on his blog:

Ice cream is people too. <3

Speakerdog: Series 6

So about a month ago, I spotted a request for artists to join Ben the Illustrator's new series of papercraft toys: Speakerdogs. I absolutely LOVE papercraft toys (see: the Papercraft Paradise blog), so I jumped at the opportunity to learn to make my own and have them printed. They accepted my submission and gave me almost two months to create my own Speakerdog papercraft toy.

I've taken this as a great opportunity to do something fun and simple, but with a little extra, because papercraft toys are great to look at, but more fun to build.

So look out for updates on my new toy! The series is set to premier July 31st - check out the other series at their site until then, featuring past artists such as Shin Tanaka, Fubear, Project Detonate and Ben the Illustrator himself. www.speakerdog.com

Sketch: I Love You Less

A sketch I made recently. I wasn't feeling sad or anything - I just wanted to illustrate a feeling in a moment.


Blue pencil + mechanical pencil + photoshop.

Finished Phoenix covers

Finished these two nights ago, but I wanted to leave you in SUSPENSE.


Heading for approval now, they'll be on the cover of an upcoming issue of the Phoenix, running in Providence, RI, Boston, MA, and Portland, ME. So look out for it!



Other than that, working on my Speakerdog (about 75% done), which I'll post soon! I'm hoping to assemble him after he's done.

Also! Bought a new bike last night! Behold!!! Her name is Behemoth.


You can see the back of Momo's pretty head!
