I forgot all about my self published coffee table book! This is NOT the story book that is being published by a publishing company next year. This book is filled with color photos of my art. You can buy it as a hard cover or soft cover with other options available or you can buy it from me signed. The book is beautiful! Just click on the little book/banner below to buy it from Blurb and peek at some pages. Other than that happy Father's day! I hope you have a fun special day with your family! My next blog post will be about a new contest so be sure to watch out for it!<br />
Also before I go if you would like to keep up with our crazy haunted house evidence videos please subscribe to my YouTube channel. If you do you see new videos right away. One video has almost 2,000 hits. My channel has about 18,000 hits! It's my way of showing friends and family what is going on in my home and it helps me deal with it in away. It is also very interesting and total proof of the paranormal. Here is the link.<br />

Wow.....I can't believe I haven't posted in a year! I knew that I was a bad blogger but oh my gosh lol! A lot has happened since the last time I posted. After disappointments and a very long wait my Spooky Hollow Children's book is finally being published! My book will be released in the fall of 2014. That sounds like such a long time from now but I could have chosen the spring. I wanted the book to be released before Halloween so it will be worth the wait and fall was the right choice! I'm really glad that they even gave me a choice. When it is released you can either purchase one from me signed or buy one at Barnes and Nobles or Amazon.com. So this is the OFFICIAL announcement that my book will be published next year. I will make a post THE DAY you can purchase one lol. It is an illustrated children's chapter book for ages 7-11 or older! There will be tons of illustrations along with the story. This is taking up most of my time so I am not getting out as many monster dolls as I would like to but next year I plan on building an army and hitting every show I have ever been invited to do! I have never accepted to do shows in other states before but with the book coming I am hitting all of them lol. My dream is to to comicon and there is a tiny tiny chance that might be possible. When I have all the shows lined up I will send out a letter and post showing you where I will be and when. I am so excited about next year I could burst. I hope it gets here quickly but this gives me plenty of time to prepare!<br />
<br />
For a long time I didn't know where I fit in the folk art or Halloween art world. I am horrible at groups and dropped out of any that I belonged to. I never accepted any show invites because I was just to nervous and scared to do them out of state and I really don't know why. I felt my characters were to cartoony to really fit in with the Halloween art scene. I wanted to get in magazines to feel like I fit in which was so stupid. I didn't need to prove myself. My Grimmy dolls do that one their own. I have always been a loner and because of me dropping out of groups or not accepting invitations I ticked off a woman. I had a person who belonged to one of the groups I left call me one day. She asked me who my publisher was and I told her. The next thing I knew she said she had to go and she was calling me back. She never did making it pretty obvious that all she wanted to know was who my publisher was. This same person had called me in the past and with each phone call I got the low down on just about every Halloween artist there is and she had nothing nice to say about any of them. She was a horrible gossip pure and simple. Not all people are like that and that was the only person in that group who behaved like that. The rest were very nice people but her behavior made me run in the other direction.<br />
She was a friend on facebook and I finally reached the point that even looking at her profile picture made my blood pressure rise and she is the only person I have ever blocked on facebook. It felt so good after I did! It was like a weight was lifted. I highly recommend blocking people who make your blood pressure go up. It's worth it! It's your life and you can choose who is in it or who is not in it.<br />
<br />
I'm just different I guess and at first that bothered me. Now I embrace it. I don't feel the need to fit in. I'm content with my little world I have created. I like being my own person and not a follower. I am just terrible when it comes to online groups. I never show up and post and then I feel guilty so I just don't join them anymore. The only thing I will do differently will be to hit all the shows I was invited to next year. One is huge so I can't wait to do is called Scarefest. They get like over 70,000 visitors and how cool will it be to have my own booth with people in creepy costumes surrounding me! lol. How fun is that going to be? My son is going with me! That is one thing I like about being different. My cartoon guys totally fit in there. Comicon would be so great and like I said I have a tiny chance of going. So what I am saying is I am so content being my own person, a geek and following my heart. I am thrilled to be on the cartoon side of Halloween and super thrilled that my art fell into a category for children! That was a fluke. I had no idea that children's magazines and people buying art for their children would ever happen. So getting the book published for children just warms my heart. My high school and college cartoons have paid off lol! I might be weird but I'm happy weird and I finally know where I fit in. I fit in with children, comics, and good old fashioned Halloween costume and prop shows! I have been invited to some Halloween art shows led by the greatest people and I am accepting these invitations next year. I'm just a happy monster maker and how cool is it that I can now put author, illustrator to my job description to show my son. I think the thing that makes me the happiest about that is when I am gone my kids can say that their mom did a crazy weird Halloween book that got published lol. It may not be that big of a deal but my son is so proud. That is what matters. What you feel in your heart and your family.<br />
<br />
Other than all that lol. I've been making monsters and I started to make one reborn baby per month. I will post a picture of 2 if you don't know what a reborn is. It's just a doll made to look as real as possible and I am very proud of my work. Here are 2 of my dolls that sold.<br />

If you follow me on facebook I am sure you know that our house is officially haunted. I'm talking crazy haunted and coming from a woman who has her art, books and designs named Spooky Hollow there are times I am sure I am not taken seriously. lol. I do have a blog about our home but I keep it separate from my work. If you would like the link you can email me though. I just won't post it here.<br />
<br />
One thing to watch out for this week and next are the 5th annual Golden Grimmy awards. The problem about the awards are you have to follow me on facebook to get a possible entry. What I do is send a photo of a Golden Grimmy to random people on facebook. 10-15 per day for a few days. I do NOT go by who I know or like. I only send one to random people that have posted on my wall on a regular basis or new fans. No favorites ever. I've upset some friends in the past because they didn't get one lol. Everyone who does get a photo of the golden Grimmy award will be entered into a contest where they can win a real Golden Grimmy and a Spooky Hollow art gift basket but you have to follow me on facebook or fan my Spooky Hollow page to enter or to get the random Golden Grimmy photos. You can fan me on facebook here.<br />

First off I have been the ultimate horrible blogger but soon I will be making some video blogs weekly. Right now I want to talk about Halloween of course! It's creeping up pretty fast and I wanted to let you guys know that there will be new art listed weekly in my Etsy shop! If you like you can go to my website www.spookyhollow.net and browse all the photos. If you see something you like I can make you one similar. Now would be a good time to choose allowing me time to get it finished before Halloween! I also wanted to tell you that my prints are back and better then ever! Even brighter and more vivid then before! You can see all of them in my Etsy shop. Here is the link. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SpookyHollow">http://www.etsy.com/shop/SpookyHollow</a><br />
I'm posting some photos of a few of my prints, Halloween art and my once a month Reborn doll. Reborn you say? Yep lol but only one per month! Each one will have a Halloween outfit all year round along with other little outfits I pack up for the new mom. If you would like a custom reborn you can contact me at folkartist@spookyhollow.net<br />
I also needed to tell you that I reached my friend limit on Facebook but please like my fan page! My fan page link is the 4th picture down on the right side of this blog! Look for the Grimmy holding a pumpkin illustration.<br />
Contest update!<br />
Yep I have a new one! Here is how you can enter.<br />
1. go to my website spookyhollow.net and sign my guestbook! The link is on the upper left side of the page!<br />
2. Become a fan on facebook!<br />
If you do both you get 2 entries.<br />
What are the prizes you say?<br />
A mini Grimmy and a print of your choice!<br />
I will announce the winner October 1st!<br />
<br />
I also wanted to say thank you for all the wonderful thoughts and prayer for my son and family. As many of you know my son's girlfriend died while in Greece. Some how she fell from a 5th story balcony and it has been a very long and difficult time. After over a month they did take her off of life support and her funeral is tomorrow. I was overwhelmed by all the emails, posts and good thoughts. Thank you so very much from all of us.<br />
Watch for my video blogs very very soon and again I am sorry about my blog neglect!<br />
Have a great weekend<br />
Grimmy and Carmen Ellis<br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: medium;">Hey all you spooks out there! I am having a sale in my Etsy shop to help my daughter with some medical bills. I listed a Halloween charm necklace, Halloween beaded eye glass holder and a set of 3 Spooky Hollow character clay feather tree ornaments. The prices are very low. You can also buy a print and get one free! Just email me your freebie choice after purchase! As many of you know my daughter Nicole has been going through some tough medical tests. We finally found out that she has a small tumor on her pituitary gland. I am having a sale to help her out with the cost of her new medicine. I also wanted thank all of you for your good thoughts and prayers. They worked! She does not need surgery as long as it doesn't get any bigger. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts! There will be links to my shops after I am done jabbering! </span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: medium;">I also wanted to let my members know that I have taken a licensing job. I was approached by 2 companies and signed with one of them. Soon there will be some Spooky Hollow reproductions that I will include in my shops! I'm very excited about it and they have been keeping me VERY busy lol! I can't wait to see the reproductions. EEEK! Lots of Grimmy's! </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: medium;">That might not be a good thing!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: medium;">ALSO... There is still time for a custom piece of art before Halloween so if you would like one please email me soon. I can only do so many. Watch for a new email next week! Hugs and haunts, Carmen and Grimmy Ellis!</span></div><div align="center"><br />

This is the first Ebay auction of 2011! It is for my original Black cat art doll. He is 8 inches tall and hand sculpted from clay. He is signed and dated on the bottom and will come wrapped in black Halloween tissue. This is the only black cat doll I have and it starts at a low bidding price. I love my auction template lol and there is sound. Come peek! I also have an antique toy sewing machine for sale on ebay! Watch for weekly ebay auctions for this upcoming Halloween season! <br />
Have a boo-ti-ful day!<br />

New Halloween art will be added weekly to my Etsy shop and starting on Sunday I will do one Ebay auction per week! The photo above shows some of my owl ornaments and a large black cat ornament. I will post more pictures soon but I want some items to be a surprise! I totally have the Halloween bug and can't stop playing in clay! I also have a painting that is almost finished. Please keep watching my blog or my face book for new art and an upcoming fun contest.<br />
Check out the photo below...when completed he will be an ebay auction.<br />

Ok! Here it is the winner of the win a Grimmy doll contest! We had over 400 entries!!! Thank you everyone for entering, sharing and joining my home page and newsletter! I also want to thank everyone for all of the nice comments. They mean a lot to Grimmy and me! Alright here is Grimmy to announce the winner!<br />
<br />
Hello minions and ghoul friends! There were so many houses to go to and so many spooktacular friends but only one person could win me! After putting all the names in my hoodie my human closed her eyes and picked the winner. Not only does the winner win me but my worms, bone collection and sometimes stinky smells. What can I say I'm gassy like that! I expect a nice cold coffin bed, worms fried, baked and or steamed and letting me have sleep overs with my other Spooky Hollow friends. We don't need to watch scary movies we ARE scary movies!!! I should be able to play ZOmbie slashers whenever I want and pick my toes in public. With all that said and agreed to the winner is.....<br />
<br />
NAY! <br />
<br />
Nay please email my human at <a href="mailto:folkartist@spookyhollow.net">folkartist@spookyhollow.net</a> so she can get your address and custom Grimmy request! After my human makes me just right for you I will be shipped priority mail to your home.<br />
Please remove me from the box very carefully because I don't want my body parts falling off again.<br />
<br />
Thanks again to everyone who entered!! Congrats to Nay and watch for more contests in the future.<br />
With monster hugs and monster luv..<br />
Grimmy and Carmen Ellis<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">I made a post on facebook of the picture above telling folks to practice their art! Then I thought, Hey why not blog about it so here I am!</div>Just some ideas and items I use to create my characters.<br />
OK, some things that really help<br />
GET A LIGHT BOX!<br />
<br />
Say you make a character and it turned out awesome. You might not be able to create him the exact way you did before. Place the paper with your character on the light box...put the new paper on top and trace! <br />
<br />
If you like you can trace a completed illustration so if you sell one you still basically have it if you want to recreate it. There are tons of uses for a light box. Google it for lots of other ideas. <br />
<br />
Never EVER copy someone else's work. That is just simple ethics. Protect your work! Get a copyright and I also upload every art piece to copyright deposit. It was the best money I ever spent.<em> </em> I even have the name Grimmy protected! I do lol!<br />
<br />
Good lighting! I use like 3 lamps at once lol. I need really good light when I draw. I have my eye on a wonderful artist lamp. If you can afford it go to Walmart and buy and art desk. You can adjust it so it tips just right when you draw.<br />
<br />
Pens.<br />
<br />
An art friend told me about Pigma Micron pens. BUY SOME! They are ultra fine archival ink. Permanent and never bleed. You can buy them online or Walmart even carries some!<br />
I have them in all colors and sizes. I also use vintage and even antique quill and fountain pens with good old fashioned ink. These are really fun to work with once you know how to keep them from smearing. I use India Ink.<br />
<br />
Pencils.<br />
<br />
The best pencils to use are your basic number 2 lead pencils. Very easy to erase leaving no annoying pencil lines. <br />
<br />
Erasers.<br />
<br />
I use gummy erasers. They are my fave but Hi polymer erasers are just a good. They are usually white in color. I use these because they leave no smudge marks. All very cheap!<br />
<br />
Markers.<br />
<br />
My faves are Faber Castell and pigma. I use these for cartoons more the illustrations. You will be spending a bit of money on these but they are worth it.<br />
<br />
Paper.<br />
<br />
My fave is thick Strathmore watercolor paper. Great for ink and watercolor illustrations.<br />
<br />
I use Velum paper for the use of pigma markers and of course you need some tracing paper.<br />
<br />
If I am making a new character I get a piece of watercolor paper. Doodle him in pencil and then trace the doodle in ink. Erase the pencil and color him in. It's fun and addicting try it lol. Some people really get exact with this. They draw the image on regular paper. Put it on the light box. Trace it using tracing paper and then put the tracing paper under the new paper and trace again. This is way too much work for me!<br />
<br />
When done get your camera and put it on the macro setting. Take a pic and there ya go! Great for prints!<br />
<br />
Come up with your own unique style. Something only you can do! If you want to get a book published trust me they want totally original work. <br />
Pick up some how to books. There are tons out there and I found mine on Amazon and ebay.<br />
You can even buy some videos with instructions and techniques. Never stop learning!<br />
<br />
DOODLE DOODLE DOODLE<br />
Practice at least once a week. Pick up some old children's book and really study techniques.<br />
If you are not sure how to draw a body position like someone waving use google images. Find a similar position for reference. Another trick is to hide the character behind something. Let's say you can't make feet. Hide him behind a bush lol!<br />
<br />
Keep a library of ideas and references. Magazine photos, things like that. Let's say you want to draw a frog but you can't seem to do it from memory. Trust me not many people can! Find a page with a frog..cut it out and keep it in a folder. <br />
<br />
These are just a few Ideas I have about illustration.<br />
I am self taught with some art classes under my belt so I am sure there are may tips and tricks I don't even know about, but when it comes to basics...<br />
<br />
Pencil<br />
Eraser<br />
Paper<br />
sketch book<br />
<br />
There ya go now go draw something!!!<br />

I just finished a new Halloween Spooky Hollow character charm bracelet! The focal is Ooky the monster. The bracelet is done in antiqued brass findings and has beautiful lamp work beads. The orange beads are shimmering Czech fire polished beads! It is loaded with charms and there are some little coin charms that are hard to see in the photo. It measures 8 inches long and is adjustable. I plan on listing it in Etsy but if anyone would like to purchase it before I do email me at <a href="mailto:folkartist@spookyhollow.net">folkartist@spookyhollow.net</a>. The price is 48.00 and if you compare the price to other bracelets with less charms that is a wonderful deal for hand made art! <br />
Thanks for peeking! Happy Sunday!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Save your computer tip!</div><br />
Last year while do a search for a knitting pattern in yahoo I was hit with a horrible virus that basically killed my pc.<br />
<br />
I bought a laptop which I love but I lost all of my personal photos on my old pc. Even some art print photos. When I opened the page that I thought was a knitting pattern it launched this fake anti virus scan and it scans really fast asking you to click yes or no to continue. I thought it really was my anti virus program and clicked a fake pop up that said cancel scan. That was the end of my pc.<br />
<br />
Yesterday like a dummy I searched for a printable sign for my son's birthday party. The oh so familiar fake virus scan started again. This time I realized it was fake and quickly turned off my laptop. When I restarted it and opened windows the page with the fake virus scan came up but this time there was no scanning. I went to my end task menu and got the page to close. I did a real virus scan and thankful by shutting off the pc fast and then ending the page with my task manager I am virus free. I thought my experience might help others who stumble upon this pc killer virus. When it hit last year not even Norton could get rid of it. It is the worst pc virus around. <br />
<br />
So, if you happen to click on a web page and suddenly there is a virus scan...it's a virus. Turn off you pc and restart fast. Don't click anything!. If the window pops up with the fake scan go to your task manager and a safe window will pop up. ( the task manager is in your start menu ) There will be list of everything running on your pc including all the web pages that you have open. Find the page with the virus and end task. This will close the evil page! Do a full virus scan after and you will beat the virus. I wish I would have known this last year. I hope this helps and I explained it in a way that you can understand.<br />
I am not very good at explaining lol. If you do have a question please email me at <a href="mailto:folkartist@spookyhollow.net">folkartist@spookyhollow.net</a><br />
<br />
Now I back up my pc by using a little thumb drive. they are small and you can insert them into your computers usb drive. ( the place where you plug in your mouse and printers ) I move all my photos and files to this little thumb drive. You can also back up your computer online. ) Please do this!!! <br />
<br />
<br />
Happy no virus!<br />
<br />
Big hugs<br />
<br />
