Happy Yule Tide!



Happy Yule Tide Every
One and Merry Solstice! 
Hoo Doggies It has been quite a year! 
So many of our beloved sent to the stardust
like Ziggy and Prince but also politically so dramatic.
It is a reminder of our mortality.  
And that the future is ours, so as united sentient beings we will get there together...
Even those who think they are separate.

It is a call to drink the coffee not the kool-aid.  
 Just by being alive, by being the witch mermaid fairy that I am and creating art and a life for myself and others is in itself an act of defiance. My New Years resolution: 
Aspiring to be the change in the world I wish to see.  What's yours?

Meat Cake Bible
Thank you dear friends family and readers, for your support of Meat Cake Bible. The tour went great, and the turn out of other like minded artists  was amazing.

Here's my favorite review so far: 
Here is Dame Darcy, Your Comics Queen
The World is Catching Up with Her—Just in Time for The Meat Cake Bible

LAST JANUARY, Angoulême, the second largest comics festival in Europe, made a crazy misogynist blunder. Of 30 nominees for the Grand Prix prize for lifetime achievement in comics, they neglected to name even one woman. Angoulême’s CEO made things worse by asserting that “unfortunately, there are few women in the history of comics.” Online, people lost their minds—and roundups papered the face of the internet, proving him wrong while lauding the great women who penciled before. It was a good outcome from a bad thing. I remember breaking a pencil in my hand (no, that didn’t really happen) (CRUNCH) and vowing that if those dope dongles overlooked Dame Darcy’s Meat Cake Bible, which I knew Fantagraphics was releasing this year, I would fucking riot.
And New Hand Painted Boots! 
I'm also teaching Water Color Painting Classes at Escape Through Art as part of Skinny Gallery. 

 Here are a few of my favorite collaborators and Thanks to all those who made the Fall tour so great :) But here's a few:

Join me on this journey, sign up here:

Through the focus of my attention.
I am expressing the following Divine Truths daily and hourly. 

I am infinite abundance 
I am the Harmony of my true being

I am vibrantly healthy and eternally youthful

I am a Peace Commanding Presence 
The actions I take every day are improving my family,
my job, my city, my country, and the world

I have a healing touch

I am able to communicate both with the angelic kingdom and the Elemental Kingdom

I am transfiguring this planet into the infinite perfection of New Earth 
And so it is, beloved I am.

Happy 2017! 
Love, Dame Darcy

Thanks for making Meat Cake Bible a dream come true for 25 years! 

In other news
Dame Darcy's Mermaid Tarot has been in print and selling since 2012!
 To celebrate the success of this self published venture, I have now reissued a 3rd edition with new and improved borders and production, plus 22 all new illustrations!

With each order will now come individual sea themed and mermaid spells as well as one of a kind die cut stickers.

We pride ourselves on being multicultural and LBGT and this is reflected more than ever in the new images on these cards, because acceptance of diversity is the way things were initially in Atlantis and thanks to the Goddess the Patriarchy is crumbling and things are going back to the right way all along. 




(A note from LED) As I'm writing this we only have 18 left of edition 2! The moment that edition sells out I'll post edition 3 for sale and send you a quick update email to let you know it's been listed! 

The Raffle
I didn't forget about the raffle, and yes we have sold many items valued at $75 and I promise we are keeping your name in the list. But the amount has not yet reached the value of the painting. 
When it does we will announce the raffle winner and send you the painting. 
I promise! Until then yes, please keep 'em coming. And again when you order art of any kind valued at $75 or more on my store you are eligible to win this painting. 

Go Shopping!!


And now a word from LED who is an inspiration and a dream. We work together to run this whole thing and without her none of this would be possible. Laura is a creative force in her own right and an up and coming artist herself :) 

Hello sweet Dame Darcy lovers! I'm so excited to share with you my first completed short animation! It's a 35 second, trippy romp through space with some characters you may recognize from my Tarot in Space! Have a look!

Greetings From the Haunted House

Greetings to you my Darlings, from the haunted house in Savannah where the ghosts and dolls and I reside to draw my dreams. 



Just illustrated the Tell Tale Heart for Seven Stores Press for the Graphic Novel Classics compilation Graphic Cannon, compiled by Russ Kick. 

Tell Tale Heart is quite possibly my favourite short story of all time as it makes me laugh so much. 

The narrator tries so hard to convince you of his sanity, but in doing so reveals more about his insanity than his dark deed does itself. 
It's kind of ironic really. 

He mistakes the pounding of his own heart with that of the old man’s and uses it as a prompt to murder him. 

This was always a favorite tale of mine, I'll never forget when I heard it first on a record from the library I got while in 4th grade. 
It really exemplifies the twisted reality of a murderers mind. 
I am so honored to do my rendition of this horror classic. 




















So I can now offer you 10 illustrations from this project now framed and available as fine art. 
They are 8 1/2 x 11 inches framed. Each illustration is $75. 

As a special all 10 can go for $700. total  If you want to keep the story in sequence. 
Please indicate in the etsy comments you wish to do so and i will hold the other 9. 

Payment plans are welcome.


Also, we have a Gasoline special going on on Etsy.com/damedarcy, and I'm offering a special where if you get anything over the price of $75, you will receive a free copy of Gasoline, hand signed with an illustration to you or a loved one. 


Other Black and white pen and ink illustrations for the low cost of money now available as well to choose from :) Framed and ready for hanging or as a gift to your love for upcoming Valentines Day. 



All Patrons get this book for free for this month's reward, also so much more! 



In other News, Lisa Carver (SuckDog, Rollerderby zine, plus more)  and I are planning a world wide come back tour for her new book I illustrated : The Jaywalker. 
It will be a super fun immersive theatre performance art, rock opera, spectacle, and we will be offering friends and fans prizes and discounts on tickets, and may be coming to your town! 
Just got a go pro for x mas and learning to edit and post video/ animation so soon I'll be able to share this with you as well through a video series. 
It's gonna be a lot of fun and a lot of wacky talented and beautiful ladies! 


And now a quick word from my friend and intern, LED:

Hello! This is LED, I now have phone cases, stickers, and prints available of my Tarot in Space! cards on Storenvy! Click the picture to see more :) 



We will be posting more details about tour dates for the upcoming year. 

Love, 
Dame Darcy
