Monsters.

More classic monsters, this time from an old card. I am rather fond of the bat on top and the wolfman. I’m not so good with the scary stuff. I think that's become pretty clear...

The Bride.

I have always felt kinda bad for the Bride. I mean, here she is...dead...all the various parts of her. And then the next thing she knows, wide awake and staring at a monster who wants to make her his woman. Kinda unfair really. And man, Elsa Lancaster? Cute girl. The Bride? Bad hair.

Originally, my bride had the bad hair too, but I felt that she deserved a bit of an update. I went for waifish kind of eerie. Less shocking hair and screaming.

Two zombies and a monster.

I don’t particularly like zombies. Especially the gooey kind. But I can’t quite keep away from them. I posted my zombie pin-up a while back, and I posted a little hipster zombie girl and today, I even watched the un-aired pilot for Babylon Fields, which was a zombie tv show (it had great potential). And I was thinking about zombies when I went to the archives to find something to post today (this blog is a mix of new sketches, and archived stuff I’ve been collecting over the years). So these two examples of zombie art were unearthed...get it? Unearthed...

This one for a business card:

And this one for a cd cover:

I don’t think either of them were ever used. (That second zombie looks like a real stiff...that's a totally unanimated hand...hee hee!). And here are some monster feet that were never used either. These were part of a proposal for a some buttons to be used as promotion for a particular horror themed baking blog:

And you know what? I am planning on another zombie drawing before the month is out. Man, I really hate zombies...

Monsters.

Have you seen the Goodwill Halloween poster? It’s meant to encourage people to shop for costumes at Goodwill stores. Which is a really good idea. But it's also a really nicely designed piece of advertising art. See that last little block? That's the Goodwill logo. Groovy, eh?

Well, after seeing on on a billboard last night, I was inspired. I just wanted to draw very simple version of some Halloween type critters. 

They were fun. And I couldn’t decide who to include. I feel like I could keep adding...werewolf, swamp creature...ghost...hmmm...I think I may have to revist this idea.
