I’ve got Halloween fever. It started back in April when I was assigned a double page spread in Spider Magazine...an “Old Ogre” deck of cut-apart playing cards.
And as always, I try to stick a little humor in.
Illustrating monsters, ghouls and halloween characters is great fun. It’s the little girl in me, playing dress up....except now I’m fashion coordinator for Frankenstein, a witch, or a skeleton. “Old Ogre” is a matching pair game, so I wanted each “pose” to be distinct from the other, yet have them engaging in an action to show personality. A pirate touts his found treasure, a flower unravels the mummy, a ghost falls in love with a distant moon.
Just finished another illustration for Spider Magazine, which will be in their March 2011 issue...art for a poem called “Pajama Polka,” with flying dancing nightclothes.
Some other exciting things in the works, but too early to talk about them now. Stay tuned...
