"Otis & Edie"
🐀👻🐀
Happy Halloween! As my final post for the month, I present the third in the Otis Triptych as well as a few WIP versions, including a color thumbnail and the original sketch. I don't know why the original composition gave me so much trouble, but after putting in too much time going down the original path (as was the case with the original possum piece), I finally pulled out the modeling clay and made a full 3D mockup in order to finalize figure placement in a way that felt more natural.
🐀👻🐀
Anyways, this is the final weekend of "Art Ghoullery VII: Cults, Cabals, and Covens" over at @rourkemuseum so go check that out before it comes down. Although if you show up a week late, you'll probably find this piece hanging on the walls, as it will be a part of my newest exhibition "Magical Menagerie", opening up at the Rourke Art Gallery + Museum on November 8!

"Candy Butter Corn""
🍬🍿🌽
Originally, I had planned on reposting the "Callie the Witch Cat" sticker to round off the Halloween Animal series, but since a) Callie already got her own full piece, b) the skeleton axolotl I previously posted is not the one that is grouped up with the other costumed critters, c) I'm still playing catchup, and d) it's Halloween, I decided to post a COMPLETELY NEW STICKER from the Candy Corn series. This one in particular is inspired by butter flavored candy that I remember receiving as a child. Did anyone else ever have butter-flavored candy?

"River Crossing"
💀🛶👻
When we last left our possum friend Otis, he had...died? Kind of? Thankfully, there was a gregarious boatman who was more interested in company than asking deep questions, therefore allowing Otis to take this ride across the river at no charge!
💀🛶👻
Tomorrow, we cap off the Otis Tryptych!

"Candy Cup Corn"
🥜🍫🌽
Whoops! Had such a big weekend, I kind of forgot about all this. guess that just means we get double posts today and on Halloween!
🥜🍫🌽
Are Reese's Peanut Butter Cups still the king of Halloween candy, or has it been dethroned? Leave a comment if you feel a different candy should be crowned best Halloween candy.

"Knock Knock - Who's There?"
🎃🎃🎃
Last night was a TON of fun, but we must move ever forward. Today I'll be at Brewhalla from Noon - 6:00PM at the Fall Craft Market! Come out and adopt one of these pumpkins from the pumpkin patch! I'll also have stickers, magnets, greeting cards, and art prints if those are more your speed.

"Hedgehog Vampire"
🦔🦇🧛‍♂️
Overture, hit the lights! This is it, the night of nights! The night of the 7th annual Masquerade Reception! Come and beware; you're in for a scare!
(But probably not really - things are pretty PG 😸)
It starts at 6:30, awards (including the costume contest, juror's choice and audience choice!) will be presented around 7:30, and everything wraps up by 8! Arcane art, terrifying treats, and macabre music - there will be something for everyone!

"The Reports of his Death are Slightly Exaggerated-V2"
🐀💀👻
A couple years ago, I made a piece...scratch that, I made MULTIPLE pieces trying to convey the idea of playing possum. Of the three versions, this ultimately became my favorite. This was not the one that made it to the gallery. Cie la vie!

"Candy Tart Corn"
🍭🍋🌽
The act of eating CANDY TART CORN is a powerful statement of authentic and fascinating personalities that do not fear being, showing, and sharing who and how they are.

"Rise & Shine"
🦔🔥😈
It's almost Halloween! If you don't have plans, come out to the Masquerade Reception for "Art Ghoullery VII: Cults, Cabals, & Covens" at @rourkemuseum on Saturday, October 26, from 6:30pm to 8pm! And if that's too late for you, maybe you're better suited for the @brewhalla.fargo Fall Craft Market on October 27 from Noon - 6pm, presented by @ungluedmarket and @drekkerbrewing, where I'll be set up with a whole lot of fun art, books, and sculptures!

"Frogenstein's Monster"
🐸🧟‍♂️🎃
Technically, it can only be called Frogenstein if it comes from the Frogenstein region of France. Otherwise, it's just a sparkling monster.

"Hanna & Greg"
🐁🐁🎃
In 2021, the theme for the Art Ghoullery was "The Fantastic & Frightening", encouraging artists to make work that blurred the lines between fantasy and horror. My personal take was to adapt themes from "Hansel & Gretel". After all, candy, strange houses, and witches all scream "Halloween", doesn't it?

"Candy Cobbler Corn"

Seriously, there are a ton of flavors. Candy Apple was only the first. Blackberry Cobbler? Go ahead - savor the flavor! Sweet at first, but be careful - it has a little bite!

"Do You Want to Play?"

I wanted to do an ode to all the haunted video game stories that kept me up working over a decade ago, so here it is!
🎮👾🧢
Would you play a game with this blob? He even has a hat and a bat. I don't know where he got them, but he has them and is ready to play!

"Skelelotl"
☠️🦎🍭
When you first step forth into the afterlife, you may have some questions. In fact, it's expected and encouraged for you to axolotl questions!

"Candy Apple Corn"
🍭🍎🌽
Love it or hate it, these sweet kernels are a classic Halloween treat! Whereas once all candy corn tasted the same, nowadays we are graced by many different flavors. What would your dream candy corn flavor be?
