Tis the season for me to go back to my roots of quirky, slightly off, and sometimes downright gruesome art. In high school I became fascinated with Tom Savini's Bizarro Makeup effects book and decided that was the career path that I wanted to follow. Guidance counselors did not understand since I was a straight A student in the academics however my art teachers did and they allowed me to delve into the weird and wacky side of things. Life took me down some interesting job paths at Ripley's Believe It or Not art department and Universal Studio's Halloween Horror nights makeup department but then I veered off into more tame subjects and themes as I tried to be "marketable".
In celebration of Halloween 2013 I am going back to the darker themed art creations--well some of it will just be good ole pumpkin fun and such. Each day I will have fun with some Halloween themed art fun and I will try to dig up some old photographs to post as well.
