this is my last for the autumn society's Video Game Gore show at brave new worlds comics on october 1! the shining is not just a creepy old movie, i still think of it as one of the legitimately scariest movies of all time. it's horrying. it's amazing. i had several ideas for this scene, but it all came down to keeping it to the movie and keeping it simple.

who wouldn't want to see a shy guys wearing cute little matching blue dresses?

check out the VIDEO GAME GORE show at brave new worlds, starts tomorrow for october!! there will be tons of amazing work as usual

Bride of Peterstein

this was a commission for everyone's favorite holiday, valentine's day. a couple painted as frankenstein and his bride! it was tough and i was worried it wouldn't look like them without their normal hair color/style at least, not to mention having green skin. but i think it looks like them. it's kind of on the goofy side which i like, and hope they do too! you might remember my previous painting of them as zombies: refresh your memory by clicking here!

Zombierific KAOTIC KRITTERS

This is Deaderella, a zombie i made for zombie-obsessed sister for christmas this year. she's pretty awesome if i do say so myself

this is my 2009 halloween painting!! it is going to be shown in a 2-day halloween art show called Trick-Art-Treat!! tomorrow, friday, oct 30 (6-8 pm) to saturday, oct 31 (5-8 pm) at Brave New Worlds in Philly. the show is put on once again by the autumn society (http://www.theautumnsociety.com/). Halloween is my favorite so i am excited for it.

last year, i went to a wedding on halloween, and a group of us decided to go as the universal monsters, but all dressed formally for the special ocassion. so my halloween painting this year is of timmy and me in our costumes last year. i think the painting needs to be seen in person, you get a better feel for the colors.. the background is matte whereas the figures are more glossy so it has some cool contast to it.

this is our group picture:

adorable.
love this flyer

Happy halloween!!

halloweeny painting #3 !

another halloweeny zombie painting! this was a commission-- a happy couple as zombies. with zombie cat in the tree. i like this one because the blood splatter flows onto the frame too. it was fun to paint, who doesn't love zombies?

brains....BRAAAINS!!!

halloweeny painting #2 !! this is a zombie painting i did for my sister as a christmas present. she has a pretty big obsession with zombies. obviously this is more halloween appropriate.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

so this is my most favorite time of year: the entire month of october. i devote the whole month to anything and everything halloween related.. especially lots and lots of horror movies.

here is the first halloweeny artwork i'm posting by halloween. it is the painting i did last year for my very special holiday. it is also the very first oil painting i've ever done. nosferatu!
