Hip hip hooray it’s Christmas Vacation! Well the release date anniversary, anyway! This masterpiece came out December 1st, 1989- so here’s the inked version of my sketch from last year. Done in micron pen. What’s your favorite scene in this holiday classic?! #christmasvacation #ink #drawing #sketch

I forget what a bonus it is to be able to quickly switch between so many color options when using Prismacolor pencils!!! Here’s a wip for a project I was asked to participate in… due date is coming up quick so picking at it as much as I can! #bat #skull #skeleton #colored #pencil #drawing #art

A very informational sketch for 🦃 day! I’ll be eating 95% carbs only today! 🤰😎 #turkey #skull #thanksgiving #graphite #sketch

An old piece from college that feels seasonally appropriate! Prismacolor pencil drawing over a watercolor wash. Definitely a technique to come back to sometime! #prismacolor #coloredpencil #drawing #candy #holiday #art

I mean, we all agree that Uncle Frank was the actual bad guy in “Home Alone” right?! Had to add a little UV action to make this sketch more accurate 😈 #homealone #ink #sketch #drawing #devil #uvlight #art

Who prefers the 90s version of “It” to the more recent films? …Old/ recent Tim Curry style Pennywise sketches done in marker. The mini series is 35 years old now… wow! #pennywise #it #clown #horrorart #stephenking #marker #sketch #timcurry

Why was it such a thing in college that every still life had to be the most completely random items?! Do miss these shoes though… Trying to get my space organized again + looking through old stuff & oil painting never really “clicked” for me. But maybe one day I’ll try again! #oilpainting #stilllife

I updated a wall in my room with several pieces of my art… frames really make all the difference! Hope you enjoy this as much as I do! 🖤 #darkart #oddity #macabre #skull #bones #cemetery #traditionalart

New drawing of skulls, based on Andrew and Abby Borden… alleged victims of Lizzie Borden and featuring the broken hatchet found in the cellar… Apx. 6”x9” Mars Lumograph black pencils on Bristol board. #skull #lizzieborden #darkart #bones #anatomy #drawing #oddity #macabre

One week until Halloween! Here’s a drawing I just finished yesterday- the skull of Joseph Merrick, “The Elephant Man.” 9”x12” in charcoal/ Conté pastel on toned paper. This accompanies a prior portrait I did of him as well. #josephmerrick #elephantman #skull #drawing #charcoal #oddity #anatomy

“8 more days til Halloween, Silver Shamrock!” Also “Halloween III: Season of the Witch” was released yesterdays date, 1982. Here’s my old marker sketch! #halloween #seasonofthewitch #marker #sketch #skull #witch #jackolantern #drawing #horrorart

Everyone likes a simple yet classic marker drawing, right?! “Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter” for Oct. 22! Made this years ago for my brother and it’s large… like 14”x14” or something unnecessary like that! 😎 #fridaythe13th #marker #drawing #horror #art #slasher #jasonvoorhees

Your October creature feature of the day: “Frankenhooker”! Anybody ever see this over the top 1990 horror comedy?! This piece is apx. 8.5”x11” in watercolor w/ ink. #frankenhooker #watercolor #painting #ink #horror #art #Frankenstein

Oct. 20th: New graphite sketch for the “Freaks and Geeks” fans- Halloween style! Have you seen this show? I’ve held onto the same dvd box set since it was released! Apx. 7”x9” 🎃 #freaksandgeeks #halloween #graphite #sketch #drawing #art #portrait #trickortreat

Oct. 19th- a portion of a “Little Shop of Horrors” painting. Watercolor on canvas with ink. Another cute but deadly character! #littleshopofhorrors #audrey2 #watercolor #painting #horror #art #darkart #plant

A slasher Saturday for October 18th! Here’s a Freddy Krueger glove I created by fabricating/ riveting thin sheet copper (blades are painted copper as well) & adding patina to weather the appearance- over an old leather glove. #freddykrueger #glove #copper #metal #fabricated #horror #art

A Friday night in October is a good time to fly your freak flag! So here’s another old watercolor for October 17th- “The Human Centipede (First Sequence)” -but probably should have been the only sequence! 🫣 #humancentipede #watercolor #painting #horrorart #halloween

A “newer” classic character for October 16th! A watercolor with micron pen painting of Sam, from, “Trick ‘r Treat.” Did you see this horror anthology? What did you think of it?! #trickrtreat #horror #watercolor #painting #art #halloween

Classic Chucky for your October 15th. Brad Dourif voicing him for so long is the best! Old Prismacolor colored pencil drawing. #chucky #childsplay #horror #art #slasher #halloween #coloredpencil #drawing #art

October 14th: 8”x10” acrylic on canvas “Munsters” portraits commission from some years back. I’ll always love the color and style to these & hope to visit it again in the future! #munsters #acrylic #painting #portrait #halloween #art #canvas #Frankenstein #Dracula

For today’s October post, here’s a fun Freddy Krueger clock I made, inspired by the rhyme in the movie! I drew/ wood burned him & modified the hands from a clock making kit by adding lightweight painted arms-trickier than it seemed! #clock #woodburn #freddykrueger #nightmareonelmstreet #horror #art

Art goes up about 10 notches when it’s framed! Turned some of my white ink drawings on black paper into prints and I like them! (Bonus cat skull I found outside this summer that I am yet to draw!) 🌙 🐈‍⬛ 🕯️ #halloween #art #ink #drawing #cat #candle #mystical #occult #goth #skull

Finished making a few more UFO lights and boy do I think they are fun! 👽🛸 Drawn by hand, sawn by hand and etched by hand- so they’re all just a little different. Happy October 9th! #ufo #light #led #lamp #handmade #art #drawing #etching #scifi

One time my dad said that when “The Exorcist” came out he went and saw it like 6 times. It’s a 🐐 for sure! Here’s my old Regan possessed by Pazuzu watercolor with micron pen for day 8 in October! #theexorcist #watercolor #painting #ink #horror #darkart

Finished micron pen inked versions of skulls from my mini sketchbook- just in time to make 4”x4” framed prints for my Halloween art market this weekend! There’s still room for 2 more at the top of the Bristol board sheet & I think I know what they’ll be! #skull #ink #art #drawing #oddity #macabre

Here’s some subtly satanic rings for the six six sixth day of October! I came across the world’s tiniest set of number stamps once and could help but make these. 😈😈😈 #jewelry #metalsmith #sterling #silver #darkart #ring #goth #metal #handmade #stamp

Day 5 of posting something seasonal for October… An old watercolor of the Zoltar machine from the movie “Big.” Always thought this was kinda a fun one😁 #big #zoltar #fortuneteller #watercolor #painting #halloween #art

Trying to share an art piece befitting of the season for everyday in October. So here’s a close up of the sterling silver raven pendant I made that I think gives a better visual of all the detail involved in this piece. #raven #moon #handmade #pendant #sterlingsilver #fabricated #bird #tree #jewelry

Nothing but the finest tools, techniques & tricks to make my own stamp! 😜 I used a photo of the giant hand I built with text from my typewriter to make my logo & now I’m kinda psyched about this fun stamp version I can use for stuff! 😊 #stamp #printmaking #logo #art #typewriter #blockcarving #ink

Resharing one of my small “Twilight Zone” black & white watercolors because the show premiered October 2nd, 1959! “The Obsolete Man” is as relevant as ever & you should give it a watch tonight. (Or any episode of your choosing!) #twilightzone #rodserling #watercolor #painting #obsolete #scifi #art

“The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” was released 10-1-74 but I didn’t want to wear my welcome out on this ap yesterday so I saved it to share today 😇 Wood burn plaque commission from years ago- I always appreciated getting to make this less obvious scene! #texaschainsawmassacre #woodburn #art #horror

Jane Goodall was one of the good guys. This was a painting I was commissioned to make years ago. 8”x10” acrylic on canvas. #janegoodall #acrylic #painting #chimpanzee #art #portrait

It’s October 1st! 🎃🍁 Got back to some bedtime drawing last night & I’m on a mission to finally finish this Joseph Merrick skull. Gonna try to share seasonally appropriate art everyday this month to keep myself in the spirit. Happy October! #charcoal #drawing #skull #bones #oddity #art

Finished making my raven pendant & after spending so much time with copper on my skull lamp, I really had to work through some of the nuances of sterling silver with a more elaborate piece! 😅 If no one buys it I can live with that. 🙃🖤🐦‍⬛ #raven #goth #jewelry #moon #onyx #spooky #darkart #handmade

Friday night on the bench in the garage… Maybe listening to the extended version of the theme from “Taxi” maybe not… it’s anyone’s guess! 🙃 Progress on this raven pendant & currently fabricating the tree branch. 🐦‍⬛ #silver #raven #jewelry #moon #metalsmith #gothic #handmade

Made my “Hellraiser” painting into a puzzle with a “puzzle box” box! Yay!😄 (Box is printed from a template I found online years ago.) Painting was originally watercolor w/ ink. Sublimation printed & heat pressed it. Pretty excited about it. #hellraiser #watercolor #painting #pinhead #puzzle #darkart

How do you like my version of the Spider-Man meme?! One of these is the original sculpt and 2 are resin copies 😜 Think I’m finally getting a hang of the best painting technique for them 😊 And Happy Autumn equinox! #handmade #ghoulie #sculpt #sculpey #resin #airbrush #ink #ghoul #halloween #art

It’s Stephen King’s birthday so here’s a “Carrie” watercolor painting I did years back. What’s your favorite movie adaptation of one of King’s stories?! #stephenking #carrie #watercolor #painting #horror

Happy 38th anniversary to “Hellraiser” from me & the unnecessarily large (apx. 28”x21”) watercolor I painted years ago! (Hanging in the basement.) #hellraiser #watercolor #painting #horror #darkart #pinhead

Got a suggestion to make a raven so now I’m trying to design some more jewelry I don’t have time to make! 🌙🐦‍⬛✨ #raven #moon #halloween #jewelry #handmade #wip #darkart #gothic #art #silver

A few of my sterling silver bat necklaces. All completely handmade so they all look a little different… AND adorable ☺️ Sawn out & sanded, acid etched, soldered, oxidized & polished. And I made the coffin too! #bat #Halloween #jewelry #spooky #handmade #silver #metalsmith #art #coffin #woodworking

The giant hand I made is touched up & back in the front yard so now I can officially feel like it’s 🎃👻 season!!! 😄 I used styrofoam, spray foam, cardboard and lots of neon backlight responsive spray paint, etc. & it’s 10’ tall! #halloweenprop #handmade #zombie #blacklight #spooky #hand #sculpture

Which one of these isn’t like the others?! Finally figuring out the nuances of my printer & getting the grays of my art pieces to come out in their proper tones & I’m really happy about it!!! 😄😊 #art #drawing #print #anatomy #oddities #joker #skull #bones #portrait

I was planning on hanging my 💀💡 in my room but it just makes me so happy seeing it in the corner of the dining room with this big monstera plant and the prism lights!!! 😄😊 #skull #sculpture #metalsmithing #handmade #copper #art

Working on hand making some cute little etched sterling silver bat necklaces- sure to please the masses for Halloween this year!!! 🦇🎃 #bat #necklace #jewelry #Halloween #spooky #goth #handmade #art #silver

HBD, Freddie Mercury! I started a series of simple black and white portrait acrylic paintings years ago that I never finished, and I gave this one to one of my sisters. #freddiemercury #acrylic #painting #traditionalart #queen #blackandwhite #portrait

My SKULLpture hanging lamp is finished & might be one of my favorite things I’ve ever made! I think I soldered the copper in about 65 different spots, so I’m very relieved it felt worth the time! 💀🖤 #skull #art #sculpture #metalsmith #darkart #halloween #oddity #lamp #handmade #copper #solder

Yesterday I used all my art brain power working on my skull lamp, so instead of trying to draw in bed last night, I worked on making some little wash cloths… win-win! #crochet #handmade #yarn #craft

It’s “Frankenstein Day”!!! Painted this dude forever ago in black and white and here he’s illuminated with his green light! #frankenstein #vinyltoy #acrylic #paint #art #Halloween #horror #monster

I think if I had to pick only one “medium” to work in the rest of my life, it might have to be soldering. Anyway, how many in-progress pics are too many? Still picking at this piece while I can!!! 💀 #skull #art #metalsmith #sculpture #solder #darkart #copper
