For the third year (not in a row) I’ve been commissioned to come up with a Halloween themed cover design for the local Asheville alt weekly paper, The Mountain Xpress. This year I was asked to do something with local architectural elements, such as the winged lions (I’ve been told they are […]
Day 26 is: THEY CAME FROM OUTER SPACE! I chose to draw Kang and Kodos from the Simpsons’ Treehouse of Horror Episodes. Sketchbook is buffered by their action figures.
#Drawlloween2016 days 24: #mechanicalmonstrosity and 25: #entombedtuesday are in the #inktober#sketchbook!
Day 22 is: BATURDAY Day 23 is: SUPERSTITION SUNDAY I didn’t want to go with Batman for “bat” two years in a row, but I couldn’t help it. He’s so much more interesting to draw than a plain bat. Also, since I had to combine it with “superstitions” on the next […]
Day 20 is: HORSES AND HEADLESS MEN Day 21 is: PHANTOM FRIDAY I wasn’t sure what to do for day 20 other than, obviously, the Headless Horseman, so I put it off until I did day 21. I saw “Phantom” and wanted to do the old Hanna-Barbera cartoon of “The […]
Day 19 is: Witchcraft Wednesday Trying to make the two drawings work together in the sketchbook spread, I wanted to make the shadow on the other page coming from something unexpected on this page. I ended up with a mutating Great Pumpkin on a giant vine that Sally Brown has […]
Day 18 is: NOSERATUESDAY Specific ones like this don’t leave you much room to be different or creative, so I just pick one of the cool images from the F.W. Murnau’s 1920s silent film and tried to emulate it as best I could with just a pen and paper and […]
Day 16: FULL MOON Day 17: MAD SCIENCE MONDAY I cheated on this one and re-used the double illustration from Drawlloween 2015 for MOON and FRANKENSTEIN. Iit still fits though. Especially since Frankenstein is the name of the mad scientist, not the monster.
Day 14 is SCARECROW ROW Day 15 is: DRIVE-IN CREATURE FEATURE I drew Dorothy Gale happening upon a row of scarecrows in the corn field. One from the MGM musical, one from Batman, another from the books, and the rest just in shadows. On the opposite page of the sketchbook for […]
Day 13 is of course: THURSDAY THE 13TH I almost phoned in another one today, but spent a little more time on it than the copout yesterday. I figure Jason Voorhees must feel like he has the day off when the 13th is on day other than Friday, so he […]
