Elizabeth Kidder: Illustrator now at Storenvy and Patreon!

Latest update! Two weddings at once is a lot of work (don't worry, they aren't both mine). So I apologize for the lack of updates in the past month. But that time has been well spent on preparing for my latest endeavors.
First - check out my store at elizabethkidder.storenvy.com. It's where you can buy my original artwork. The more I sell, the more I have to create to fill up the Wall o' Art again.
Picture
Next - if you don't have a few hundred to drop on an original painting, why not become a patron? Check out patreon.com/ekidderillustrator where, for as little as $5 a month, you can become a patron of my work and support me in creating new artwork, releasing new pages from my graphic novel, and fund a permanent space in local galleries.
Finally - waiting for the next installment of Jannah Station? I have begun work on the first chapter in Jannah Station: Academic Suicide. We've also printed a limited run of the Omnibus of Jannah Station: A Soft Murder, with exclusive content and a new cover at only $15. Contact me to purchase. We'll also be releasing the first issue of both A Soft Murder and Academic Suicide as a weekly online serial comic. Stay tuned for the first page!

One of my favorite times of year is almost upon us... my birthday! I love my birthday, not because of presents, but that I get to spend time with all my loved ones on a sanctioned personal holiday. This is also my first birthday as an engaged woman, which is its own level of exciting. Plans are underway for a winter burgundy and black wedding, and a cabin getaway. We're looking to start our nest egg, so I'm releasing the latest Elizabeth Kidder: Illustrator piece on Society6, Pangolin Sun!
Picture
Available in a variety formats, Pangolin Sun can be yours, and with Free Shipping for a limited time! Also, "Key to the Soul" is retiring after making the gallery rounds, matted and framed for $300. If interested, please Contact Me or check out my Facebook page for more details.

"Key to the Soul" won Honorable Mention at Alchemy: The Magic of Art and Flowers.

I spent this weekend at Campbell Station Park for Art in the Park, creating plein aire art pieces and photographs. They will be shown at the opening reception on Friday, May 9, 7 PM at 11483 Parkside Drive (inside Turkey Creek next to Men's Warehouse). I'll be exhibiting four brand new watercolors and photographs for sale, as well as oldies-but-goodies Carefully Composed & Microcosm.
My next show will be Alchemy: The Magic of Art and Flowers, on Friday, May 16 from 1 -4 and Saturday, May 17 from 10-4 at the Farragut Town Hall, 11408 Municipal Center Drive. Key to the Soul will be featured as a pairing with a floral arrangement reflecting the piece, and The Art of Gardening and Ave Maria will also be displayed.
These shows are free and open to the public, so please come by and support your local artists (including me)!

First Friday with New South Collective

3/25/2014

Next Friday, April 4, is my First Friday show at New South Collective on Gay Street. This will also coincide with the Dogwood Arts Festival's Art on the Block, so there are a TON of reasons to be downtown that Friday. You can join the event on my Facebook page by clicking the picture above, and if you do stop by from 6-9, there will be food, drink and tons of awesome art to buy, from prints and paintings to totes and trading cards. You'll also be entered to win an Elizabeth Kidder: Illustrator Swag Bag, which will include postcards, buttons, prints and a signed copy of Jannah Station: A Soft Murder. The winner will be chosen at random at the show, so you must be present to win. You can check out a list of the pieces and formats that will be available at the show on my First Friday page. Hope to see you all there!
Picture
With all the show and novel prep, I've (ironically) had to draw back on my artwork. But I couldn't resist sketching out this little guy - a pangolin, the cutest armored mammal since the armadillo. The watercolor and ink is a welcome return after all my digital work, so I'll try to do more as the weeks go on, no matter how busy I am.
Picture
Old Sins, the publishing company that puts out "Jannah Station," and Elizabeth Kidder: Illustrator will be at Marble City Comicon April 11-13, with our own cool booth for you to come by and check out. We'll have lots of cool artwork from both "Jannah Station" and my latest upcoming graphic novel, "Despina" as well as personal work, including the ever-popular "Reading is Sexy" tote bags, which will come in handy for carrying all your con swag. Be sure to buy your tickets now and come check us out!

Thanks for reading, be sure to check out my work on Society6 and look for updates on my Facebook page.

(Insert Personal Anticipation Here) is Just Around the Corner...

2/5/2014

Hello again, I've missed you all! January decided to pretend to be December, and bring back all of the life changing obstacles that I thought were behind me. But don't worry, I never truly left. I've just been hunched over a desk exploding new art onto paper, and I'd like to share some upcoming events.
First off - Valentine's Day is coming up, and whether you're experiencing Arousal, Attraction, or Attachment, the "Stage of Love" series has something for everyone.
Picture
"Attraction" Available in a set of 3, 5, or 10 cards w/envelopes on www.Society6.com/ElizabethKidder
Pick your favorite, and buy them as a print, card or phone case to send to your loved ones. And as a Valentine's Day gift from me to you, CLICK HERE to receive Free Shipping on your order! Hurry, it expires February 9th at midnight.

Next up - the omnibus of "Jannah Station: A Soft Murder" is tantalizingly close to physical publication, which means you can finally get all four parts of A Soft Murder in a fancy paperback version, hopefully this month. If you just can't wait, the omnibus is already available in digital format on Amazon. If you want to try out Issue #1 before you buy them all, you can still purchase the individual issues in digital format on Amazon too.

April showers bring Friday shows! My next First Friday show is set for this upcoming April, as long as all the chips fall into place. It'll be held underground at the New South Collective on Gay St. downtown, and I'll be showcasing the Sexy series, prints from Jannah Station, and new art and pages for my upcoming graphic novel, Despina. It'll be released on my website as a serial, with a new page each week, but until that starts up later this month, here is the teaser first page of the book.

Happy 2014 everyone! I hope you all had lovely holidays. I'm excited to be back at my artwork, and have some new work to show off, as well as some in-progress work and upcoming shows.
Picture
Did you see the preview above on my Facebook page? The latest in the "Sexy" series will be premiering later this week on both my Facebook and Society6 pages.
Picture
A variant of the "Sexy" series, "Tous Femme" #1 and #2 are available on Society6. And just in time, because there is free shipping on all my products till midnight on January 15. Just click HERE for your promo code.
Picture
In preparation for my cousin's first baby, I spent the last days of 2013 painting my most recent mural, "Owlovely" in little baby Hayden's room. I'm also opening up my freelance business to include murals, so if you have a room that needs something original and exciting, please contact me through email or form.
Picture
Last but not least, some preliminary character sketches for the leader of the Wulfgard in my upcoming graphic novel series. It's still in development, but I hope to show you more finalized characters as time goes by.

Just so you know, there is another First Friday show in the works for sometime this early spring. As that progresses, I'll let you know, and hopefully you'll be able to make it out for some great art. Have a good rest of your week, and be sure to Like me on Facebook!

First Friday Aftershocks

   First off - a great big thank you to all who attended my first First Friday show this past week! Two of the pieces on the wall have sold already, and I had an impromptu interview with WBIR10, due to the nasty weather. The show will still be up the rest of December, so make sure to stop by to do some artistic Christmas shopping! If you aren't in the area, but want to see what is available, check out my First Friday page on my website for specs and prices.
   Next - "Journey to Vapourri" is still going strong on NeonMob, so go check it out, as well as the spiffy new layout of their website.
   Then - be sure to check out my Society6 page. Everyday there is a new special offer to celebrate Christmahanukwanza. Today - $6 off all t-shirts. Also, free shipping on orders over $50 ends Friday, so check it out soon.
   And now - only the front cover is left on the color omnibus of "Jannah Station: A Soft Murder." Check out the rear cover on the Old Sins Facebook page, and read issue #1 for free at OldSins.com.
   Last but not least - my friend William Nunn did a review series of the last two seasons of Sherlock, as well as speculation on the upcoming season, and invited me to join him on the Season 1, Episode 2 review of "The Blind Banker." Caution: SPOILERS ahead, but you should really should have seen the series by now anyways. You can see our review here, and check out the others in his series as he uploads more.
   That's all for now, but as always, check back every Wednesday for a new post, and check out my Facebook page for the latest updates on projects.

Make More, and more, and more...

Upon seeing my 16' x 12' space at Bliss Home, I realized I needed slightly more work to hang than originally anticipated. However, with the theme being "The Nature of Duality" I had a boatload of inspiration and ideas to start my next works. With the end goal of three paintings, I present the first.
Picture
Working with black canvas has a great appeal to me, maybe just because it's different, or my heart is secretly dark...or the different thing. It lends a rich quality to the piece, while providing good direction and subtle hierarchy. After a feverish night of work to get this far, I'm sure more is close on its tracks. If you want to see this in real life, join the Facebook event on my page and come to my FIrst Friday show this December 6 at 6:00 PM. Also, my trading card set "Journey to Vapourri" comes out in less than a week - just click HERE to join for free and get ready to collect my set when it comes out on Nov. 26. That's it for now, be on the lookout for more updates at unusual times (aka. not a Wednesday morning).
