The Inked Serpent

Hello everyone. I have been absent for a while now, not that many people have noticed. This page, my artwork, is something I took alot of pride in. It was my hobby, my pass time, what I did to get my mind off of my current situations and I truly enjoyed doing it. Selling my work only made it so I didn't have stockpiles of it laying around my house forgotten and eventually ruined and to cover the cost of supplies for everything I was making.

I opened my 1st Etsy shop in 2013. My start was slow but grew quickly. I have had some big hits, and others I was so proud of but no one liked. I'm back to having masterpieces laying around my house. Unwanted.... I have no time to call my own anymore. I don't get to touch a paint brush unless it's a commission to paint something I have zero interest in. It's no longer a hobby and I have lost the joy. Endless pet paintings that everyone makes is all people want and because so many people do it, people want to pay next to nothing for my time. My originals with over a hundred hours in them get no attention because I don't have the time to play the endless social media games to get a following for the right people to see them. But I digress....

I have never in my life worked so hard, been so burnt out, so tired and unmotivated to do anything in the rare moments of freedom that I get. I simply do not have spare time. I have no time. I will be turning off my etsy shop. For the 1st time in 10 years I am closing my artist door. My plate is to full and the only way to lighten the load is to stop doing so much.

All orders that have been placed have been shipped out. This page and my instagram will remain up but inactive. All businesses that place wholesale orders will still be able to do so directly with me but I am done with individual sales to the general public at this time.

Due to the algorithms and my absence I'm sure FB will only allow a handful (literally) of people to see this which is why I will keep everything up if anyone cares to look for me.

So farewell everyone. The Inked Serpent is closing down after a decade of trying. Good luck with everyone's endeavors and thank you for your support over the years.

Hey everyone! I know I've been MIA here lately but I promise I'm still actively filling orders regularly and working on new products! I've been a bit preoccupied with my other artwork. So feel free to follow my other page if you want to see more content but for now I did just list a ton of new earrings on our etsy page and many more items getting posted soon!

Slightly annoyed Instagram isn't auto posting my stuff on Facebook anymore so truly sorry for the lag in content! I finished a couple paintings this week. I poured a shimmer epoxy on them to mimic looking through the iridescent particulates floating in the ocean water. I like how these quick pieces turned out and I'm so happy to finally have a moment to paint something I want to paint for once. What do you think of them?

Just finished this cutie!! Layered resin with hand painted leaves giving it a truly unique 3 dimensional look! Needed to try the technique out before starting on a bigger project. What do you think of it?

Check out these new stud earrings!!!! These all new adorable designs are available now!

Up to some fun stuff!!!! Fell into a problem of having a ton of small scrap pieces of wood from our laser and I didn't know what to do with it.... check out our newest product! Made some super cute simple keychains for people to show off their love of their fav animal! They will be available soon!

Delivered another custom table to some happy customers! This was a fun one to make! It has more painted creatures then any table before it. Got some big plans underway and can't wait to get started on the next one!

It's that time of year!!! We can not stress enough how important it is for customers to be patient with orders being delivered. USPS is being FLOODED with packages fully intended for the holidays. They are short staffed, had policies changed and overall struggling to handle the demand. DO NOT blame the companies you ordered products from. Shipping delays are not their fault. Instead, be patient, understanding and kind to your postal workers.

Small businesses are just as stressed as you are about your order arriving in a timely manner. The last thing they want is to not just have you but literally every single one of their customers screaming at them over something out of their control and demanding refunds that big box companies are dishing out for late deliveries. It is NOT OK to verbally attack anyone and demand they give you your every wish just because your inconvenienced on something arriving a little later then expected.

So again, be kind and patient this holiday season. Everyone has had their fair share of hardships the last 2 years. A late gift delivery is no reason to get worked up over. Take a deep breath and respect each other as we get through this.

Please share and spread the word. Some people need to be reminded the holidays are for a time of happiness, togetherness and giving.

Our newest Table has HIGHLY detailed paintings in it! These 2 animals are only 1.5" long!!! All of that detail cramed into a super tiny painting. Excited to finish this table and get it off to its owner ❤

Custom holiday ornaments are underway! Check out this cute little sphynx kitty headed out to it's new home ❤ we are only doing a limited number of these custom paintings this year due to time constraints so if you are looking for something special and unique get your order in soon!

Really hard to get a good photo showing all of the detail packed into this little painting. We were working on a new paint to order ornament design, but this lil cutie looks to be a tad to time consuming to be considered for that type of listing.... sooo..... this 1 and only ornament will be available as a first come first serve! So don't miss your chance to snag this one of a kind hand painted original ornament!!

*update!* this cutie sold!! Lil sad to see it go because it is adorable and I really like seeing it when I walked past it haha 🤣
