Arabella Proffer just added a new original oil painting to her Etsy shop. “Vampirella” was first shown at the “Identity Theft: reinventing the comic hero” exhibition that took place last year. The painting is 8″ x 10″, oil on canvas and is already in an ornate gold frame. Arabella’s style of painting worked out perfect for the character. It’s a great painting for this Halloween, and is classy enough to keep up all year.

Check it out here: Arabella Proffer Etsy Shop

The newest sponsor to the site is artist Arabella Proffer. She has had work featured on the site quite a few times, and even had a couple of paintings in the “Attack of the B Movie Show” that I curated a while back. She has a very unique style, as you can see in the painting shown “St. Lorelei, Patron Saint of High-End Haircare”. The colors in her work are vibrant, and I love the influence that Tamara de Lempicka has had as seen with the hands.

Arabella Proffer has just released a new print. It’s a giclee on matte paper print, 11″ x 14″ and is very limited. At the time of writing this, there are only 8 prints left. She will only be selling them to those that contact her through e-mail. So no etsy, ebay or galleries to deal with. The print comes signed and numbered on the back, and with a “bio and family crest as a certificate of authentication”.

If your looking for originals of her work we still have the two Switchblade Sue pieces in the Creep Store for sale.

Head on over to her site and e-mail her to make sure you get one of these prints before they sell out. Arabella Proffer homepage

For the B Movie Show, Arabella Proffer made two pieces. Both of which were influenced by those old girl gang exploitation movies, maybe you have seen some, maybe not. Both pieces feature the character “Switchblade Sue”, the one shown here is “Switchblade Sue Will Cut You”. Both paintings are oil on panel, and are all framed up and ready to go. I especially like this one for th layout, like she’s just showing you the knife like, “Hey, you want me to stick you with this?”

Hit the link to the store and check out these two paintings, as well as the others. A good majority of them have sold so far, but there are still some amazing works left.
