This lovely mermaid has a gift with birds; they naturally trust her. Even though they have never met, the white breasted kingfisher approaches and perches on her hand without the slightest trepidation.

Will be available on ebay tonight. Click here to watch or bid (other works available now)

Once revered as gods in their realm, this mermaid and her jaguar protector now stand guard at the portal to the last remnant of this once mighty civilization. The mermaid has adopted the Day of the Dead aspect to honor those long lost; noble princes that sacrificed the greatest warriors of their enemies to her; their shrunken skulls now a decorative warning.

Will be available on ebay later tonight. Please click here to watch and/or bid.

The tiger had not eaten for a week when he caught the scent of carp. When he followed it to the riverbed, he was enchanted by the lyrical homage to Mt Fuji, that a beautiful Geisha mermaid was playing. He rested there with her and found a new and very special friend, instead of a meal.

Happily, all of those listed have thus far sold. The last three are still available. This one is currently listed on ebay. (click here)

A mermaid of a royal bloodline. Her butterfly fish advisers whispering liquid wisdom and mischief into her ears, as she surveys her coral reef domain. This one is more ornate than the others.

I hope you are enjoying my artworks. Happily, the first two ACEO's are sold. The others are currently on ebay: Please click here to watch or bid...Original artwork for auction

I will not impose any limits re: subject matter, except maybe porn. For the time being, I will definitely be doing a series of mermaids. I will list the "ACEO = number" in the title regardless. Knowing me, drawing mermaids, although they are a lot of fun and inspiring, will get too dull if that's all I do. I will include more subjects inspired by fantasy, wildlife, and art. I think that I will be making lots and lots of mermaids first though.

Site Launch And What Is An ACEO?

Saturday evening November 14, 2009. I started this project just yesterday, and decided to make a blog for it. All of my works will be for sale via auction on ebay (click here to view the current availabilities).

So what is an ACEO anyway? The acronym stands for Art Cards, Editions, and Originals. They are miniature artworks about the size of playing cards. They are currently all the rage on ebay, etsy, and other places original artworks are offered for sale online.

My goal is to make at least one new ACEO every single day for as long as I can. I hope you follow my progress enjoy my artworks.
