:-(

I’m pretty blah today.  I accidentally found out that a few of you have been supporting a copycat that plagiarized me in the past.  I instantly remembered the eBay ID when I stumbled across her listings earlier. I’m not disappointed that a non-artist found success with stolen words/ideas…I’m disappointed in myself that I can’t find the screen capture to prove it!  I [...]

New series of sleep deprivation paintings – “Insomnia #1″

“Insomnia #1″ – 8″ x 10″ – mixed media

Including the pieces in the “A Little Bit of Insomnia” ACEO series, these are paintings that I’ve created during a sleep-deprived state lasting 30+ hours (usually longer.) Falling asleep is currently a challenge for me 1-3 times a week. Transient onset insomnia is a symptom of stress [...]

“A Little Bit of Insomnia” – New ACEO series!

Including the pieces in the larger-scale “Insomnia” series, these are paintings that I’ve created during a sleep-deprived state lasting 30+ hours (usually longer.)

3 more breast paintings – quick update.

Insomnia is still a MAJOR problem, so I’m going to make this update brief so I can force myself to lie down.  I should be able to relax a little now that my inbox is empty.  (Hold your emails everyone.)  My Google-issued “WARNING! DANGEROUS CONTENT!” pages are gone – a site on the shared server [...]

ADD, anxiety, sadness, misery, failure & many new breast paintings that will ultimately go unsold.

My focus vanished for most of last week and this week it’s GONE.  This is partially due to the pharmacy giving me extended-release Adderall instead of the short-acting one I’m prescribed.  The issue was resolved, but not until after I took these XR nightmare pills.  They kept me awake for 3 days straight, so I’ve [...]

By Kira Ayn Varszegi
I’ve decided to address the dire importance of supporting established artists during a time when art is no longer an affordable luxury. I’m not just referring to myself, but ALL [...]

Rant with a bonus

This is yet another post regarding stolen intellectual property.   Special thanks to copycat Marcey Hawk for demonstrating the quickest way to lose all credibility.
Below are screenshots from 2 of Marcey’s “unique” and “fun” (non-eBay) listings.  Oh, and they’re “honest” too…no plagiarism going on here!  (Hope everyone replaced the batteries in their sarcasm meters.)  Enlarge the [...]
