Next up, these stunners by Nen Chang:
I'm not generally a skull-and-creepiness kinda gal when it come to art, but I saw some of Andy Swartz's work in person at Dragon Con, and wow is it gorgeous:
UPDATE: The give-away has ended!
All of the art is magnificent! I think I might have to buy a cuckoo clock. I grew up with a couple that my grandfather had built (he was a watchmaker/clockmaker/jeweler). I'd love to be in the beauty and the beast drawing pot, please.
I love all the things! Lovely girl with octopus on head? Oh my yes! I'd love to own "Treasure Hunt" or "Tiki Birds" or the Victorian girl with TARDIS. So much wonderful art! As always, thanks for sharing with us.ReplyDelete
Great round up!
Enter ne for the Beauty & the Beast by Locoduck and the wild card please! :-)
Is it weird to enter on behalf of another Epbot reader? One of the Facebots over in the Facebook group was asking for inexpensive ideas to decorate the elementary school library where she's librarian. That "Treasure Hunt" painting piece would be fantastic in a library! I don't need more art when I haven't hung up what I already have, but if we're allowed to enter for someone else, I'd like to put my name in for her. I'm sure if she won, that I could get her to DM me her address....ReplyDelete
You still have the Anna and Elsa silhouette art on your board! I so hope to win this someday; I cannot find those prints from that seller anywhere, and I love them the most, the most. (Autistic special interest = Frozen.)
I of course want to be entered into the main, wildcard drawing, but I would also be glad to receive the Beauty and the Beast art. Thank you so much!!!!
Only the wild card drawing for me, please. Thanks for the giveaway!ReplyDelete
Still in love with "Ariel's Headphones"; can't believe nobody's chosen it yet!ReplyDelete
Amazing as always! So much awesome art!ReplyDelete
Wild card and Beauty and the Beast would be awesome. Also, loving the ladies by Marisol Spool. Gorgeous!ReplyDelete
I would love to have the cat drawing (or anything else on your board)ReplyDelete
Stunning! LOVE Discord wth a Q!ReplyDelete
Stunning colors, and subject, as always. so nice!ReplyDelete
Those cuckoo clocks are unreal! I love Marisol Spool's paintings as well. Something about the colors speaks to me. I love the little Beauty and the Beast!ReplyDelete
Interesting as always, I love how you present the art and get us all looking.ReplyDelete
The pinterest board looks amazing! So many choices! Thanks for all the exposure you give these great artists.ReplyDelete
As always, thank you for putting me "in the loop" with such awesome artists! I always use your monthly art as a springboard for birthday and Christmas shopping! Please include me in ALL the drawings, because I love EVERYTHING, and I can't choose!ReplyDelete

OMG, I discovered Nen Chang at Boston Comic-Con this summer, where she was painting the lady floating with the fish live at her booth! (And, confession, I bought one of her prints, had it framed, and get to go pick it up on my way home from work, yay!) Love, love love her style, and she was awesome to chat with!
Speaking of wonderful artists that I met at BCC, aside from meeting several artists who've previously been featured on Epbot, you should totally check out Bianca Roman-Stumpff (@ArtOfBianca, biancaart.storenvy.com/products). My con companion and I made friends with Bianca, stopping by her booth every day of the con! (And taking home a bunch of art....)
Here's hoping for some awesome art!!
One month, it will be my month darning!:)ReplyDelete
The Beauty and the Beast one is adorable!ReplyDelete
I love the Beauty and the Beast drawing!ReplyDelete

Your pinterest board makes me envious. Also, I love all the prints on wood by Jesi, so sharp! I can think of a couple people that I would Christmas gift her items to!ReplyDelete
Thank you Jen! I'd LOVE the Treasure Hunt print from your pinterest board, which would go so beautifully in my library (you can see it here and compliment my new dining room art installation (I totally DIY'd it here)! The Beauty and the Beast print would also be great for my steampunk Beauty and the Beast costumes that I'm working on for this Halloween.ReplyDelete

very approspos for Halloween! It's all so beautiful! I'd love to win the beauty and beast piece...or a choice from the board. Beauty and the Beast is my all time favourite Disney movie. On the weekend, my niece made me sing the entire score (totally not kidding...I even do the different voices) while she danced around, waving a lollipop I'd given her like a wand. :-)ReplyDelete
I can't wait to show this to my daughter! She'll love it.ReplyDelete
My son has been mickey mouse and donald duck for halloween. This year he will be goofy. So I'm loving those prints. Also, stitch, baymax and several of the star wars and superhero ones are fantastic.ReplyDelete
I'm LOVING that mixer art at the top! So adorable! I'm going to get some baking pun art for my kitchen when I finally get a house, and that is one of my new favorites. I'd love to be entered in the wild card drawing. Thanks for always sharing some incredible art!ReplyDelete
Beautiful as always Jen!ReplyDelete
I love the skull! It's gorgeous, and as a person whose family has celebrated Dia de los Muertos for generations, I get a little sick of everyone jumping on the Sugar Skull bandwagon. This skull is beautiful, and unique! :DReplyDelete
I love these art roundups that you do, Jen! Thank you for sharing these beautiful artists with us. I would love to be entered into the wildcard giveaway, and I also love the Belle and Beast drawing :) Thank you!!
~Natalie (QSOgirl)

I always try to pick favorites, but you always round up such stunning artists as to make it nearly impossible. Thank you!
-Just Andrea
I love the "Discord With a Q"! Q is one of my favorite characters from Star Trek, and hopefully I have made the right connection.. If not, oh well, still my favorite print out of the two!
All of the art is amazing, and my self control is strong today! Yay me!

Hah! Even I, cosmetics novice that I am, could probably do an equally impressive purge. What motivates us to KEEP this stuff??!??ReplyDelete
- Sarah B.November 30, 2011 at 10:30 AM
I agree on the Target brand razors. They are terrible. And painful.ReplyDelete

AUTUMN WROTE: Know For a Fact This Doesn't Work But Held Onto Anyway (Reasons Unclear)ReplyDelete
• Mudoku Detox Foot Pads ("As Seen on TV!")
She doesn't mention that this one was a stocking stuffer from last year. Scratch that off THIS year's list!
Sal, I have no ideal!ReplyDelete
Sarah B., it was surprising to me--I've happily used plenty of other Target products but those were AWFUL!
Moooooommm! (I should've added an asterisk next to that one. Very nice of Santa! But they're a hoax!) In other news, I am officially removing black mascara from my stocking stuffers list, as this recent cleaning showed me I have EIGHT of them.
Rather, I have no idea. I also have no ideal, but that's for another discussion.ReplyDelete
Embrace your shine!ReplyDelete
I loved this post. I don't have any unused beauty products, but that's mostly because 1) I move every year and 2) I'm almost compulsive about purging things. I take great pleasure in cleaning out my life--- not only does this busywork keep things tidy, it allows me to procrastinate self-actualization indefinitely!
Good job! It is amazing how long we keep things, because we might use them again or because we like the idea of having them around.ReplyDelete
You are better off without those products!
Laughing aloud is not something I usually do in the fairly early morning, but I did when I read this post. (And I smiled again when I recognized my own wrinkle cream that doesn't seem to do "much" - I keep hoping that however small the effect, it's a matter of incremental change that will one day bring back my 21-year-old face.) I recently "inherited" a small, attractive earthenware corked pot containing a mysterious reddish powder, which I stored with my art supplies until I discovered its twin in a store being sold as blusher/rouge, so now I have yet another container in the bathroom. (It's not bad, really - glad I found it).ReplyDelete
I would also like to say that I enjoy posts like this, and particularly value them after posts like Monday's, which was wonderfully thought provoking and equally enjoyable, in a different way.
Ah now if only drugstore aisles were this honest!ReplyDelete
Ha. I should do a post about Shit That Has Accumulated in the Same Shower Tote Bag (I clean it!) I've Been Using Since College. :PReplyDelete
Why do we keep it? I don't know about you, but I tend to hang on to beauty products because I feel terrible guilt about throwing away anything that could possibly be useful to anyone. With misguided clothing or homegoods purchases, I at least can donate the items to charity, but it's harder to find a recipient for a half-used bottle of lotion or cleanser. When I was younger and lived at home with my sisters, I could offer those items to them, but now they just sit in my cabinets, waiting for some mythical home...ReplyDelete
I keep this stuff mostly because I wince when I think about throwing perfectly good products in the landfill. As long as I'm holding onto it, even if it's not being used, it hasn't gone to waste, not yet...ReplyDelete
This is a hilarious post. I've got my share of unused beauty junk hanging out in my bathroom, including an inordinate amount of silver-y eye makeup, which is the only kind of eye makeup I feel comfortable applying (because all you really have to do is smear it on) and way too much fluorescent nail polish. It's like I'm stuck at age 19.ReplyDelete
P.S. Thanks for the reminders that wrinkle creams don't work. I had a moment of panic the other day when I realized my under eye areas turn into a spiderweb of fine lines and wrinkles whenever I laugh or smile. I had to remind myself that this is perfectly normal for a 32-year-old woman, and that $30 eye cream is not going to do a damn thing.

(Reuters) - Eleanor Parker, a Hollywood leading lady of the 1940s and 1950s and three-time Oscar nominee who starred alongside big names including Frank Sinatra and Kirk Douglas and later appeared as the baroness in the blockbuster "The Sound of Music," has died. She was 91.
Parker, whose ability to tackle many kinds of roles including heavy drama and light comedy earned her the nickname the "woman of a thousand faces," died of complications from pneumonia at a medical facility near her home in Palm Springs, California, on Monday, said family friend Richard Gale.
The radiant redhead from Ohio never won an Academy Award but was nominated as best actress three times in a five-year period. Those nominations came for playing a horrified prison inmate in "Caged" (1950), the neglected wife of a cop portrayed by Douglas in director William Wyler's "Detective Story" (1951), and as polio-stricken opera singer Marjorie Lawrence in "Interrupted Melody" (1955) with Glenn Ford.
One of her best roles came in another 1955 film, portraying drug addict Sinatra's spiteful crippled wife in director Otto Preminger's "The Man With the Golden Arm." Parker also co-starred with Sinatra in director Frank Capra's "A Hole in the Head" (1959).
"He can be a bad boy but he does it charmingly," Parker said of Sinatra in a 1969 Baltimore Sun interview.
She had a secondary role, playing the child-hating Baroness Elsa Schraeder, in her most enduring movie -- the 1965 musical "The Sound of Music" starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. It became the highest grossing film to date.
Parker's co-stars included some of the top leading men in Hollywood: Clark Gable ("The King and Four Queens"), Humphrey Bogart ("Chain Lightning"), Errol Flynn ("Never Say Goodbye" and "Escape Me Never"), Charlton Heston ("The Naked Jungle"), Robert Mitchum ("Home from the Hill"), Ronald Reagan ("The Voice of the Turtle"), as well as Sinatra, Douglas and Ford.
Parker fondly recalled working with the rakish Flynn when she was in her mid-20s.
"I guess I was a little old-fashioned for Errol. He used to call me 'Grandma,'" Parker was quoted as saying in Doug McClelland's 2003 biography, "Eleanor Parker: Woman of a Thousand Faces."
"Once, while we were waiting for a scene to be set up, he was holding a glass of what looked like milk. I was thirsty from rehearsing and asked for a sip. I nearly choked! The drink was mostly gin. But I liked Errol. He treated you the way you wanted to be treated," she said.
Parker's last starring role came in "Madison Avenue" (1962), and her last movie was the Farrah Fawcett stinker "Sunburn" (1979).
Despite her reputation as a versatile and respected actress who worked with A-list directors and top actors in about three dozen movies, Parker's fame diminished as the decades passed.
"I've often wondered why she did not then and does not now receive greater recognition," screenwriter William Ludwig wrote in a forward for McClelland's biography. "Two reasons occur to me. She never played Eleanor Parker but was always the character in the script. Audiences did not think of her but thought of the character.
"The other reason, as I think about it, is that she so thoroughly prepared a role that she made her work look easy, the way Fred Astaire made his dance routines look easy. The sweat is never visible on the screen. It comes in preparation, not in performance," said Ludwig, who won an Academy Award for his script for Parker's "Interrupted Melody."
Parker was born to a middle-class family on June 26, 1922, in Cedarville, Ohio. She started acting in school plays as a girl and later moved to California to study acting at the Pasadena Playhouse. At the playhouse, while merely sitting in the audience during a show, she was spotted by a studio scout and was signed by Warner Bros. in 1941.
Parker was married four times and had four children.

Germany investigates large-scale password theft
German authorities are investigating the suspected theft of passwords for some 18 million email addresses.
Interior Ministry spokesman Harald Neymanns said Friday an analysis by Germany's Internet security agency determined that about 3 million of the affected addresses were German. It's not clear where the others were from.
The agency analyzed the hacking at the request of prosecutors in the northern town of Verden, but officials gave no details on who owned the accounts, citing data protection laws, or how they learned of the password theft. The agency says it's working with email providers to determine how to inform people who may be affected.
In a separate case, German authorities said in January that an analysis of hijacked computer networks has turned up about 16 million compromised online accounts.
