New graphite chicky-poo "Lara", 7x5"
Also Greg Holston down at Mahan Gallery was nice enough to take some more accurate photos of these two pieces...
"Baron Luca and Baroness Elizabetta of Moravic, 18x24"
"Galliano Corset" 18x24" 
I also still have this tiny gal for sale, I lowered the price since she isn't framed. Please help fund my desire to see both The Boss Martians and The Bellrays this week here in Cleveland.
Mrs. Turner, 11x14" oil on canvas
So my usual "save some endangered art" Monday is a little different today. This week I'm offering a variety of prints from my punk/goth/Elizabethan/mannerist series for $3.00 a pop. And since I have 3 of each image available, you can grab more than one if you want, so they don't get lonely. These were a test run of prints from a while back, the image size is only 7 inches high on 8.5x11 inch paper, and the actual paintings have changed a bit since these were made -- I have a habit of going back and "adjusting" my artwork. Guess that sorta makes them collector items, right?
For the cheapskates out there, this week it is $3 instead of $1 for a variety of reasons: these are heavy stock glossy prints that come all fancy in a plastic pouch, hence they cost more to mail, but mostly because stamps and envelopes cost this girl money if you can feel me. But hey, it is still cheaper than a large coffee concoction at Starbucks.
So hit me up as to your choice(s): arabella@elephantstonerecords.com
Thanks everyone!
My newest gal. I don't know what happened, but layers of different pink colors just kept getting laid down until it became outrageous...
Lady Delphine of Dogole (1596 - unknown )
Charming, delicate and imaginative, she was described by her brother, a
prominent Earl, as the richest and stupidest girl to ever hail from
Dogole. When the nuns gave up on her convent education and sent her
home, she stopped in a port town to shop and see the 'pretty ships'. It
was there that she met a pirate captain; not realizing she had been
kidnapped she then married him at sea and unwittingly, funded his crew
for years after being told they were freedom fighters. After the death
of her husband, she gained control of his fleet only to lose it in a
South Pacific storm during her expedition to find Candy Apple Island.
It is believed the sea chanty 'Ditzy Dame of Dogole' was inspired by
her.
I've also added the short biographies finally to the newer portraits on my website a while back: www.ArabellaProffer.com family trees and all that will come eventually...eventually.
Lady Christina of Albramere, 11x14"
Yep.
Awww, don't they make a nice couple?
That's Franz the Earl of Elsso and his wife Annabel of Alia, 16x20". I hate the way digital photos make them look, but you get the idea. I just ordered some snazzy big gold frames for them too.
My new chick and her pussy: "Lady Lenor of Terra" oil on canvas 11x14"
This was my second time ever painting a kitty, he turned out okay I think. Just wish the color and details could be better with these darn digital photos. Ah, sometimes I miss the bright red Run Lola Run hair I had throughout college.
This is "Beatrice, Duchess of Bruenza" 11x14 inches:
Here be a detail:
And other than that? I've been TAGGED! Hey at least it is only 10 items versus the usual 30. Ms. Ginley over at Erie Effusion tagged me, and in turn I'm tagging Toveb, Studio 524, and Mighty Joe: List the 10 things on your blog/journal/- ain't no one knows but is
kinda JUICY - or interesting - or you think is interesting - if you are
not a tagger, good for you.
1. I'm a population control advocate -- and pretty serious about it. I have been since I was a kid. The movie Zero Population Growth really freaked me out; on top of all the other post-apocalyptic movies that came out in the late 70s and up through the late 80s.
2. I did a car bomb (my first) in Cambridge MA with my husband, his then co-workers...and Tipper Gore! She chain smokes like crazy I tell you!
3. My grandma ran away to Arkansas recently to become a cult leader, or a commune leader, or something weird like that where I'm sure she controls the money end of things. The less I know in detail, the better I'm sure.
4. I really like guns, yet I've never fired one before. I just like 'em cuz they're purty I guess. I'm afraid if I finally do get to shoot off some rounds that I will like it -- a lot!
5. I have nightmares every single night. It has been going on 4 years now. It is quite annoying and stressful. I've gotten really good at killing zombies and gang bangers in them though.
6. I like going to the dentist and I love novocain shots. I'm not really a person who's "into pain" at all, but for some reason I like getting a needle in my gums way more than one in my arm at the doctor. I had a root canal once and said, "Is that all you got?" Supposed dental pain just doesn't bother me I guess.
7. I suck at drawing. I just do. But I can fudge it.
8. If I was a cop, I'd become a dirty cop in a matter of weeks. My tolerance of scumbags, freeloaders and the parasites of society is hardly there, if at all.
9. My dream car is a 1968 Pontiac GTO painted bright orange, with black flames on the sides. I also want a chain link steering wheel on that bad boy.
10. I was at the reception when my husband married his first wife. I was just a small kid, but was still bitter and jealous that he had been taken off the market.
I spent some time going back and "fixing" things on Elizabetta the 3rd. And, I created a new man who is currently drying:
Lord Leo of Brammen, 8x10 inches. Major overhaul is being done on my website this week, so these won't be appearing on there for a while.
I finally killed off the old "Belanna of Bravad" painting and made her new again...after almost 6 years. The old one (on the right), her face, hands, the costume and everything was always bugging me. It didn't start bugging me until after I had showed her in public once. This past month I finally went ahead and made the new improved version. I still kept the hair, background and the leopard print all while making the costume a little more accurate for the mid 1500s. She looks a little sassier too, like she could totally be a Suicide Girl pin-up. I may just take the old one off my website because everytime I look at it I do the, "what the f*** was I thinking?!"
