Halloween Machine Twenty-Thirteen!

 Hello ladies and ghouls!  It's once again Halloween, which means I can catch up on the post I forgot to do last year.  Well, that and eat ALL the candy.  This year was my 7th annual costumed pumpkin carving party, and so once again I felt obliged to do some original art for the invitations.  You may recall previous years here and here.  It kind of forced me to do a style that I hadn't really messed with for a year, but it was fun.  You'll also notice the artwork from the previous year, which, due to a sugar-induced coma I forgot to post last year.  Finally, there is a new feature, one of my few forays into 3-dimensional artwork.  I went as Kane from 'Alien' this year, and decided to create my own chest-burster.  This little sucker is made from styrofoam, sculpey clay, wire, some plastic, hot glue, house paint, and mod podge.  Happy Halloween everybody!

It's Just a Jump to the Left...

For the 2nd movie poster this month I've illustrated the insane Halloween classic, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."  This one was fun, but a bit of a beast.  I had to redraw Tim Curry about 5 times to get his creepy mug the way I wanted it.  You can see a few of the earlier versions below.  My favorite part of this one is Riff Raff and Magenta firing their anti-matter lasers to create the border.  They were by far the easiest characters to draw.  I know it's probably a little controversial to do a Rocky Horror poster that doesn't actually depict Rocky in all his muscular glory, but I thought it was more fun to maintain a bit of mystery about the character.  Now I'm off to start work on my Halloween costume for this year.  I intend on being a complete bloody mess.
