Living Dead Tombstone

For the past couple of weeks I have been experimenting with some Halloween prop building. Built this grinning tombstone with my friend in terror, Jordan Colton. This was made from a sheet of insulation foam, some papier mache clay, and some creative painting using acrylic craft paints.

I learned a lot from building this, and I am looking forward to doing more projects in this same vein. Oh yeah, gotta give credit for the inspiration on this to "STOLLOWEEN". Check out his website via the link here on my blog.

Fright Night Light

I would be the WORST horror artist ever if I neglected to post anything on my blog during the month of October!! Sorry for the long delay, I have been working myself into a horror frenzy the last few weeks, doing makeup at the Haunted Forest in American Fork, Utah every night, and also getting ready for my first ever art exhibit at the October Evening event coming up on October 18th. I am getting my Freddy Kruger art framed up nicely (only took me 18 years...not bad I guess) to use as a backdrop behind my table, and I have been working on getting a bunch of merchandise ready to sell at the show, including prints, mini prints and a couple of surprises that I will also be making available here on my blog soon!! Can't wait to unveil them, I have been working on this concept for a couple of years now, and I am excited to hear what people think!

I just wanted to throw on a picture I took last night at the Haunted Forest- the green glow with the red candle made this one look really cool... I will also post some of my latest makeup work here soon... at any rate, stay scary and have an awesome October and a fright filled Halloween. More posts soon!!

Zombie Pumpkin

I was looking through some old photos last night and stumbled upon this one. This is a zombie pumpkin I carved many years ago. The zombie was designed from a Bernie Wrightson sketch. The odd little circle on the right of the photo is the full moon that was in the sky that Halloween night. I propped the pumpkin in the window at my parent's house and angled the camera to catch the full moon in the shot! I don't get much time to do cool pumpkins these days since I tend to do a lot of makeup work around Halloween, but I love doing them when time permits!
