This blog will be primarily about my art but also little personal things about me. My life completely impacts my art so the two go hand in hand. I hope people get a better understanding of my art through this blog as well as being informed of new art, upcoming projects and new products.

Hello Everyone!

With all of my figurines coming from China soon, I find myself with a space situation. So in order to make some room (and some money!) I am taking offers on ALL of my available Original paintings!

. I am not insulted by any offer so please do NOT be shy. You can view the paintings here:

If you are interested in making an offer for a piece you can email me at ashevans@phoenixxfirestudios.com

Please note I am going to a show next weekend and some of these may sell so speak now!!

Please give my adorable creations a good home,being in the closet makes them sad!!!

I am afraid I have made myself sick! I got a little too wrapped up in work and have really been neglecting myself lately. I haven't been eating much or sleeping like I should. None of it was intentional, I just get to working and space on things like food and sleep.. I think I caught a chill sleeping with the windows open last night and as a special reward I now have either fever or freezing chills and body aches. No cough or anything like that but I am exhausted! I could barely do the things I needed to yesterday and I crashed out at 6 pm only to wake up at midnight freezing. I can''t sleep because I am either too hot or too cold. I just feel blech. Man I really have to stop doing this, or get an assistant to water me and turn me toward the sun every once and a while. My "day off" consisted of me working yet again, I really felt that I needed to have that charity painting done ASAP and I haven't even put my show stuff away! At this rate it will be time to pull it out by the time I clean it up.

Today when I get up (of course I need to sleep first) I am going to take it easy. If I owe you an email (I am so dreadfully behind) I am sorry, I am getting to them best I can.

Hopefully in the future I can keep this little episode in mind and avoid it again...

I have finished my new painting! It is dedicated to my BOG buddies and inspired by the awesome masks of Mythical Masks http://www.mythicalmasks.com

The piece is titled Green Cat and it is an 18x24 watercolor, ink and pencil on watercolor paper. The original and prints are available now. Merchandise should be up in a day or so.

No rest for the wicked! I am working on the sketches for my House Rabbit Charity painting!! I am really excited to do it.

Holy crap I can't believe my first show is Saturday. I have been simply MOBBED! Gah if I owe you an email I swear I will get to it sometime soon. I have signed up for my credit card processing account and made the LAST of the cameos. This may be it for cameos till Christmas. If you want a particular cameo OR matted print from my site I suggest you speak now or hold your peace for a few months. I am out of paper and out of jewelry chain so no more once they sell unless a TON sell out.

I forgot to make Wonderland buttons! I will be making them after I post here. I spent a lot of today on the phone and perusing a NEW licensing contract!!! I am VERY excited about it and can't wait till the samples come. I will share with you all after I see them and everything is a go. My figurines should ship from China tomorrow!!!!! You can pre purchase them off of my site now. Get them while they are hot!!!

I am packing up all of my stuff and getting it ready to load up. I have sooooo much stuff this year! I am SO excited for all of my show regulars to see how we expanded from last year. I can't hardly believe it myself. This year we added perfume oils,cross stitch,Embelished matted prints,greeting cards,resin figurines AND cameos!! In June I will have some beautiful ceramic mugs and my new project I just signed on for. LOTS more in the works, I haven't been arting much but I have been expanding my little evil empire. Johnnie and I have talked and we have a new plan of attack and a new direction that should help us break from the pack a bit. Lots of good things are coming folks, hang on to your butts!

I have a million half finished things,sketches and jumbled writings on papers that I will have to sort through and make something of after the show. I just can't bring myself to paint much at the moment. I have been reading at night I kicked through Wuthering Heights in 2 days and am reading the Great Gatsby (both again) to help me get to sleep. After those I think I will re read Great Expectations. I love Miss Haversham. My parents have a crazy cat that I call Miss Haversham. I have always wanted to paint that moldy ratty wedding cake..what does that say about me?

Well off to crunch some buttons, I am alive and well even if you don't hear from me. And now my cat is being a screamapillar**....off I go!

**If you don't know what a screamapillar is I am totally wasted on you Mood:

Happy May Day to all! I have been busy having fun! Johnnie bought the Mario Cart game for our Wii and two Wii wheels and we have been pretty engrossed. It is a TON of fun. I am ready for my shows and now it is the calm before the storm. This weekend we are going to the Spoutwood Fairy Festival, Cezar even got a doggie stroller for the occasion. We plan to take him to shows in it from now on because people either grab him or step on him (neither of which he is very fond of) I will be posting pics of the fairy goodness soon.

Just a reminder I am having a buy one get one free sale on my website. Buy any print and get one for free..Do not buy the free print please fill out the notes section of paypal or send me an email. No limits!! Go wild folks. Cameos are buy two get one as well. Get em now cause we will be busy with shows and won't have a lot of time to restock.

I have all these sketches and half painted things sitting around, I want to get moving on them but haven't really been feeling it.

Well the hubby is done mowing the lawn so off I go!
