#3 "Jeweled Fish: Silver and Gold" a NEW Original painting is up for auction on eBay! I ran out of time before the Spectrum show to finish this one (got swept up in some other paintings!), so she's going up on eBay instead =) It's been so long since I've done a penny-auction for a full-sized framed original painting - I figured I'd let everybody get a chance at her! Measuring 13x11" in a lovely oval frame, the first of a new series - bidding starts at just one penny, Click HERE to bid on the original "Jeweled Fish: Silver and Gold" And we'll be back from Europe in time to ship her out to you with no delay, so please feel free to bid with confidence! =)

Two New Original Paintings from Jasmine!



"Jeweled Fish: Silver and Gold"

Original is up for a "penny auction" on eBay HERE

Framed 13"x11" Original Acrylic painting on panel

A lot of my eBay regulars have been asking me to put up another penny auction for a full-sized original, so now here is your chance! Fish have always been one of my favourite things to paint, and I'm exploring this further with my new "Jeweled Fish" series featuring mermaids and fishies with ornate decorative elements (fancy fish!). This first piece, "Silver and Gold" shows goldfish decorated with ornate silver adornments - a striking contrast - with of course one of my liquid-eyed maidens. This is my own original acrylic painting. The original is FRAMED - in a delicate oval with an antiqued silvery finish - the frame measuring 13" high on the outside (10" interior) and 11" wide on the outside (8" interior). Originally I had intended this piece to debut at Spectrum, but since I didn't finish in time - the eBay crowd can get a chance at this one!

Click HERE to see (and bid on) the original painting herself!

Prints & posters will be available after I come back home from Europe. This auction will end right before I come back home, so feel free to bid as usual - there should be no delay in shipping =)

Zeemeermin means "Mermaid" in Dutch, and of course this cute mermaid brings a little "life" to this still life! A lot of fun details and countless references in this one, all popular elements included in historic Dutch still life paintings. Nautilus shells and nautilus shell vessels feature prominently in this one (two items I collect myself!). This is my own original acrylic painting.

Well - Faces of Faery #209 is the result! The winning bidder had some great ideas about Alice in Wonderland, the Caterpillar, and a steampunk theme - I incorporated their requests into this finished painting =) Of course they have the original painting itself now, so that is not available for sale, but I have prints & canvases available for the rest of you guys!

Yes, lots of my Limited Edition Canvases have been selling out. I only make 25 of each (or 42 for the special BIG Pop Gallery Exclusives - those are available HERE or at their location at Downtown Disney at Disney World). We sell loads of them every day, so it hasn't been taking very long lately for the canvases to sell out. The best thing to do is just snag one as soon as it becomes available, because as you can see - once they are sold out the prices go up considerably.

You can find many of the Limited Edition Canvases that are STILL available up in my eBay store HERE and also in the gallery at strangeling.com Many more canvases are running very low in quantity, so if you have a favourite - grab it now, at the rate things are going it may not even be available in a few more days!

"Alice in a Dali Dress" and the LAST "Bleak Mourning"



"Alice in a Dali Dress"

14"x18" Original Acrylic on Panel $4200 SOLD


Lt. Ed. Canvases $125 are HERE


Prints & posters available - details below

"Alice in a Dali Dress" is the title - part of my sub-series called "Alice in Other Lands" which are paintings featuring Alice in a variety of unusual circumstances, thrown into settings inspired by my love of art history (be sure to check out the other installments honoring Bosch, Velázquez, Brueghel, da Vinci and more). This of course is a bit of a parody / homage to Spanish Surrealist (and fellow sometime Floridian artist) Salvador Dali! Here we have my Alice with nods to countless Dali references - her dress of course is a reference both to the 1937 fashion collaboration Dali did with Elsa Schiaparelli as well as "Les Diners De Gala Les Canibalismes De L'automne Lobster" piece he did a bit later. Other nods to Geopoliticus/Birth of the New Man, and of course melting clocks as in the 1931 masterpiece "Persistence of Memory." Dali himself was a big Alice fan, so the combination of the two works out well! My own original acrylic painting.

Prints SIGNED by me on the back are up at our StrangelingEmporium eBay store here:

8"x10" prints for $9.99

12"x16" prints for $19.99

She is also available in my Etsy shop as prints (also signed on the back by me!):

Lt. Ed. Canvases $125 available now - CLICK HERE

Prints & posters available below

"Delusions of Grandeur" - a piece that debuted as part of the group show "What Big Eyes You Have" in Orlando. "Delusions of Grandeur" is one of my favourite psychiatric terms, referring to one has an over-inflated notion of their self-importance. This painting reflects this somewhat - on first impression it may appear to be a simple lovely Rococo portrait, but upon closer inspection you will notice that it is all a facade - the mural is peeling, the mirror is cracked, the fabric is torn and stained, the fruit is attracting flies and nothing is quite as grand as it first may seem. The original itself sold at the show but I have prints & posters available! This is my own original acrylic painting and was painted on a wood/masonite panel.

Prints SIGNED by me on the back are up at our StrangelingEmporium eBay store here:

#25 Last Chance Lt. Ed. Canvas Auctions for "Poe," "Belle of Bonaventure," and "Wicked Witch and Glinda!"



SO many of my Limited Edition Hand Embellished Canvases have been selling out lately, and I don't want anybody to miss out! I now have the final #25/25 "last chance ever" auctions up for "Poe," "Belle of Bonaventure," and "Wicked Witch and Glinda". Once these auctions end, no more of these Lt. Ed. canvases will ever ever ever be made. Each is wrapped on boards, ready to hang, hand embellished by me in acrylic paints, signed, dated, and numbered #25/25 ('cos they're the LAST ever made). I won't be making any more, this is a true "last chance" for each of these Lt. Ed. Canvas prints!

Click HERE for the #25 LAST Belle of Bonaventure on eBay.

Click HERE for the #25 LAST Poe on eBay.

Click HERE for the #25 LAST Wicked Witch and Glinda on eBay.

Now - you can always get the signed paper prints, open edition canvases & posters that aren't embellished and aren't numbered - those are not being sold out. These are for the Hand Embellished Limited Edition canvases - the ones I actually go in myself and paint with acrylic details, etc. I only make 25 of each of these, and these are the last ones.

Things are going crazy here at home as far as canvas print selling goes, so there are also several other canvases that have sold out (as of THIS MORNING!) - so later tonight (around 7pm EST) I will also be listing the #25 Canvases for Angel of Starlight, Loup-Garou: Noir, and Strangely Lonely. They are sold out now too. It seems like every day another canvas (or four) sell out their editions, so please please if you have your eye on a favourite one up at strangeling.com, or my Strangeling seller ID on eBay, or at Pop Gallery - any of the Limited Editions - order it while you can. I can't gurantee that many of them will even still be around tomorrow or next week, eek! In addition to my newest paintings (which are selling very quickly) even some of my older pieces from the past decade are nearing sell-out too in Lt. Ed. form. You've been warned! ;)

[mood |artisticartistic]

Hi everybody! Art news for today!

#1 Tonight is the opening of a group show called "What Big Eyes You Have" here at City Arts in Orlando, Florida! I will be debuting two original paintings at this show - "Delusions of Grandeur" and "Stilleven I: Slak en Schedel". I'll be there this evening for the opening around 7pm if you'd like to stop by & say hi - a lot of great artists are showing work at this event! I won't have prints or merchandise, just these two new paintings and a few canvases. Should be a fun evening with a lot of wonderful people! Being a "Third Thursday" means that many other shows are also opening tonight in the same gallery district, within walking distance, so it's worth an evening =) Information on the gallery can be found HERE and details on the show (assuming Facebook's server is working again!) can be found HERE

#2 The BIG NEWS - a new tabletop card game called "Fairy Mischief" featuring my artwork is now up for pre-order! The gaming company "Fun to 11" has created a magnificent new game called "Fairy Mischief" and has licensed my artwork for the project. It has turned out amazing! Their company uses Kickstarter to fund & set up the pre-order system, so in order to guarantee that you get your copy of the game you need to CLICK HERE to go to their project page. The page is up for the next 26 days and you'll need to pledge a $35 amount to pre-order your game. Just click the big green button at the top that says "Back this Project" and you can checkout through Amazon. $35 gets you the game (add $25 for international shipping if you live outside the US, please). The game will actually ship this autumn (great Christmas gift!). Aimed at girls ages 5-12 , and also fun for grownups to play along, each game set consists of TWO 42 card decks (with my fairies on them of course), set of sixty-two coloured gems in a deluxe pouch, two play mats, rules, all in one nifty box set. Definitely check out all of the photos, and the videos - of me in my studio, of the girls playing, details about the gameplay & the project, etc.

#3 Good news! Pop Gallery at Downtown Disney now has my book in stock! This means you can drop by Downtown Disney West Side at the Walt Disney World Resort and pick up your copy early! Then on April 13th (from 7-10pm) bring it to the gallery for my Book Signing Party (details are HERE ) so you can get it signed by me as well as Amber Logan and Kachina Glenn (my sisters, the other two authors of the book). Not local? You can also order by phone if you would like a copy shipped to you - in fact, if you ask them nicely, they can wait to ship your book until after Amber, Kachina & I sign it for you on the 13th. Just call them at (407)827-8200 and tell them you'd like Jasmine Becket-Griffith's new book (and tell them if you want it shipped as-is right away, or if you'd like them to wait & mail it after we sign it on the 13th!) . They can ship the book worldwide! (407)827-8200. Books will also be available on Amazon and from bookstores within the next month or two, worldwide).

"Fairy Mischief" the new tabletop card game for girls!



For girls ages 5-12

Fun for all ages (grownups too!)

Made by gaming company "Fun to 11" - they use Kickstarter to fund the project and take pre-orders, so to guarantee your Fairy Mischief, you need to Pre-Order HERE by clicking the big green button that says "Back this Project." A $35 pledge gets you the game and includes US shipping! Add an extra $25 for worldwide shipping outside the US. The project page will only be there for the next 26 days so you will need to get your pre-order in that time frame. After clicking the green "Back this Project" button, choose which reward level you want (the $35 level is the one that buys the game) and payment is handled through Amazon. There are a lot of other pledge levels too - for multiple games, personalized cards, party packs, signed prints & more!
Each box comes with two 42-card decks (that is 84 cards in all!), 62 coloured gems in a deluxe pouch, dice, rules, two play mats, etc.

The game developers have posted a couple of videos about the game and about the project (including a short video of myself, ha!) - CLICK HERE to see the videos!

As is the case with new projects just leaving the ground, word-of-mouth is important - so if you know anybody else who loves games, faeries, cards, my artwork, or has little girls who want to get into gaming - definitely "Share" the good news! Or hey - just kick in $5 and you can get your name printed in the "thank you" section of the booklet, hehe. =) If you have questions about the game or the project or how the kickstarter page works, there is a blue "Ask a Question" button at the very bottom of THIS PAGE HERE and you can ask up there!

The new Strangeling books are IN STOCK at Pop Gallery at Downtown Disney!



Yes - Pop Gallery at Downtown Disney now has my book in stock! This means you can drop by Downtown Disney West Side at the Walt Disney World Resort and pick up your copy early! Then on April 13th (from 7-10pm) bring it to the gallery for my Book Signing Party (details are HERE (assuming Facebook's Event server is back up by the time you get this!) ) so you can get it signed by me as well as Amber Logan and Kachina Glenn (my sisters, the other two authors of the book). Not local? You can also order by phone if you would like a copy shipped to you - in fact, if you ask them nicely, they can wait to ship your book until after Amber, Kachina & I sign it for you on the 13th. Just call them at (407)827-8200 and tell them you'd like Jasmine Becket-Griffith's new book (and tell them if you want it shipped as-is right away, or if you'd like them to wait & mail it after we sign it on the 13th!) . They can ship the book worldwide! (407)827-8200. Books will also be available on Amazon and from bookstores within the next month or two, worldwide).

This new book is hardcover (a really nice puffy hard cover with shiny graphics - cool!!), 112 full colour pages filled with some of my best paintings, my own thoughts and insights into each piece, and also short stories & poetry about some of my most beloved characters (many of these characters were created years ago by my sisters Amber & Kachina, so their writings accompany them artwork). Definitely get your book through the gallery if you can, or come to the book signing - that way you can get the rare treat of having the book "triple signed" by each of the three of us (and meet us, chat with us, snap a photo, grab a glass of champagne, enjoy all of the paintings at the gallery, and have fun at Disney World while you are at it!).
