Return of the Living Dead

Hey fiends! Long time no speak. For shame on me. Apologies for not updating this sooner if there so happens to be any hardcore followers of this blog out there! (Possible wishful thinking).
But to the point. And update on what's been happening recently in the world of Death. I sadly haven't been doing a great deal of art recently due to work consuming a majority of my life (have to pay the rent and all that jazz). But I am trying to get back to it in whatever spare time I have. Recently I was kindly been invited to hang out at Rain City Tattoo in Manchester to try and get my art mojo back! (Greatly appreciated by the way Dan :)). So, I headed down there last week, and started a new piece. I kept it simple by doing an old school inspired pirate chick on a 15" x 11" scale. Trying to remember how to paint properly again did seem like a challenge at first (yes, really), but after hanging out for a few hours, watching other artists work, and getting somewhat inspired again, it made me more determined to get back into the art thing! Perhaps it's what i've been after? Somewhere other than my crypt to paint where I can hang out with people who create and get inspired from them? Swap ideas and techniques? Be in a different environment that makes me want to work harder and prove any art worth I may have?
I am determined to get my original Etsy store back, it seems a waste to let all that hard work go. Sadly, i've had to temporarily host my store from Folksy where there's zero traffic. But I still post pretty much every piece I create on my Facebook page, so feel free to add me on there if you haven't already, and keep up-to-date with Miss. Death. 
For those who ask me about purchasing my work, you can do so from my Folksy. Although not all my work is available on this site (I refuse to pay the little money I have to add everything then delete it when I get my original store back). But like I said, you can add me on to Facebook where ALL my work is available to view. On Facebook you can message me if you wish to purchase an item and pay via PayPal. Plus, on my Facebook items are a little cheaper due to no listing fees! I ship Worldwide and all my work is hand painted, original, one of a kind art. I also do commissions and am always open to new suggestions and ideas.So help me get my mojo back and show support for my work once more! Even by just promoting my work I am more than greatful. And hey, if you do a super awesome job of such a thing, there may even be a little something in it for you!
Think it's time to leave this here for now. But be sure to check out my work, spread the word, and if possible, get yourself a unique, one of a kind original piece!
One day Miss Death hopes to be back for good, but for now I must continue to work for The Man and keep a roof over mine and Elsa Kitty's head. Bleh!

Down In A Hole

Hello Fiends! Fear not, Miss Death still lives! I haven't updated this beast since September so I think now is the time to do so. The past 6 months have been a bit crazy to say the least. I moved house 3 times in 3 months followed by losing my shitty job and gaining a slightly better one (can't really complain about that part). But now I've settled back down in a new crypt it's time to pick up where I left off. I haven't been too creative over the past few months, mainly due to time and lack of space to do so. But i'm back with vengeance and determined to make a menz on the art front! So hold tight!
But with all these happenings, Miss Death hasn't slowed down too much. She's still been touring around the country (where possible) in her spare time to gigs and rocking out like a motherfucker... So not all is lost. 


I also think now would be appropriate to introduce you to the pieces I have managed ti create since my last post. So sit back, grab a brew, have a smoke and turn up the volume on your stereo/computer/iPod/whatever and brace your eyes for some artistic endevours!
