I love making stuff.
She considers her work a combination of Pop Art and Cartoons, forming the name "Poptoon". Her signature character is Tickles Goldfish and he lives in the world Poptoonville with his friends Baby Dumpling, Pokey the snail, Tommie Tooth and Blue Dog. Her darker style of work she refers to as the "Nightmare series". She also loves making comic pop art paintings, based on 50's romance comics and plush dolls based on her characters. Her work has been sold worldwide since 1998 through her website, was featured in Business Week Magazine June, 2007, was the 2nd featured artist for "Sweet Riot" candy in 2006, and was also featured twice on the Home and Family show. If you are interested in buying artwork, you can see where I have some items for sale here: My Etsy Shop jelene.etsy.com which are sent directly to you from me, from my home studio. I hope you'll have fun browsing around my site! I used to be on ebay selling my larger paintings, but since ebay has had many major changes, I decided to not sell with them anymore. I am trying to find a place to sell my larger paintings online and will post the information as soon as I can here on this page, on my blog, and on the main page of my site...
