Upcoming....

 I've got plans to do a number of  "Poe inspired"

paintings in the coming weeks.

I've already done some small 4" x 4" Poe paintings like

"The Gold Bug" shown here.

I had some frames that I've held on to for some time

and decided to do pieces that would fit the frames and offer 

the little paintings framed and ready to hand.

I also have pieces based on...

"The Raven"

"The Black Cat"

and

"Masque of the Red Death"

still available in my Rustic Goth Etsy Shop.

To add to pieces like...

"Red Riding Hood"

which is a digital painting...

I am working on some Acrylic Canvas paintings based on Fairytales by

The Brothers Grimm

and 

Hans Christian Andersen.

I have completed a Grimm inspired piece,

"The Frog Prince" 

shown here...

and I'm almost done with Andersen's

"Little Mermaid".

This Blog....

I'm sure you've probably already noticed that I

changed my blog banner...

and put it back to it's original name.

I have blogs for both of my 'styles'

Rustic Goth

and

CMZ Art

and each blog is more narrow in scope

to the shops lined

with the different 'brands'.

"This blog" will be my usual

nonsensical ramblings with updates to both brands.

I will start first by only posting once a week

on Another Painting Blog...

and we'll see how that goes.

Magazine Interview...

I don’t know how I feel

"letting the cat out of the bag"

this early on...

and I don't usually make announcements

on something that isn’t already available...or about to be… 

but, I feel good about this one

I just completed an interview with one of the Senior Writers

and will be featured in Issue 40 of Gothic Beauty Magazine.

Gothic Beauty is a quarterly magazine and 

Issue 40 is their Summer 2013 issue.

It will be available at such places as…

Barnes & Noble, Hastings, F.Y.E., 

Suncoast, Chapters (Canada), 

Walden Books, 

Book World, Sheltam Books 

and Copperfield’s Books.

The interview and pictures of my art will cover at least two pages…

needless to say…

I’m very excited 

about this wonderful opportunity and will definitely 

have to get

a few copies!!

I’ll post an update as soon as the magazine is in the stands!
