eBay

Still doing well on eBay, each girl card has sold.  We've decided to only list one card at a time to avoid cannibalization.  I think as soon as one auction ends, another will begin.  So far, the card that sold for the most was the Zendikar forest girl with white hair and a bird.  It seems like the same person is buying all or most of our cards, which is interesting.  Thanks, guy!  

Anyway, up for grabs is an altered Zendikar mountain.  She is painted with acrylics. No metallic paint on this one, other than maybe the signature.  Auction ends August 10th.

Coming soon to eBay is some sort of elf card that is more of a tweak to the original art, not so much a full alter. Done in black, emerald greens, and metallic greens, this was superimposed above the original.

Also coming soon to eBay are an SDC first-- collaborative cards between Selkie and myself.  I am beyond pleased with the results and can't wait to post!  Or for Selkie to post!   Also a first, one collaboration will be a set of 4.  Yah!

Copic Markers

If you could have anything you wanted, what would it be?  Well this has been what's popped into my head for the last several years.  Copic Sketch markers.  I even came close to actually purchasing them once!  Good thing I didn't though, 'cause my freelance gig went south, checks bounced, and my bank account was drained.  It was so close though..  Now I just check DickBlick and Jerry's Artarama on a daily basis, hoping for a 20% off sale or something (not that I'd even have that much).  The treasured 72 Set A is usually about $327.10 on either site.  These are not disposable markers-- each one is refillable and you can even change out the nibs if they get all scuzzy.  The next time your little bastard nephew gets ahold of one and smashes the tip down, no worries!  It's easily replaceable.  And your nephew is still young enough that you can beat the crap out of him without much effort.  Technically, you can build your own marker-- buy an empty marker body, the nibs you want, and fill it with whatever refill cartridge you want.  They can also be used with an air can (also sold by Copic) to air brush.  Wow.  Another nifty feature in the shape of the marker bodies.  The Copic Sketch bodies are oval, so they will not roll all over the place.  They have 2 ends (one is brush-like and the other is a chisel shape).  The Copic Original markers feature square bodies and different nibs (one is a chisel and the other is sort of like your typical sharpie nib).
