The Horror of HACKULA!

Beware this midnight monster and the terrible temptation to be his thrall!

Carpenter's Devil Redux

Decisions, decisions...

Here's a color sketch I did at the end of last month regarding the two of the season's impending events.

I've since seen another artist's take on a pumpkin with the party mascots carved into it, so I've kind of lost my enthusiasm for doing a fully rendered version. If I rally in the time remaining, I'll post that, too.

Here's the black & white sketch.

Yankenstein's Monster

Dug up this somewhat Halloween-y cartoon from my old editorial cartooning days. This one never saw print. It was some kind of commentary on the public cost of the then-impending new Yankee Stadium.

Unliving Dolls

Just in time for Halloween, I unearthed these old sketches for Halloween-themed paper dolls. As I recall, they were going to be part of a seasonal fashion spread for one of the many free weekly newspapers that have long since joined the choir invisible.

The Carpenter's Devil

In keeping with this month's Halloween theme, here is one of several iterations of The Carpenter's Devil, of which I did several drawings and at least one watercolor in 2009. This one's pretty loose, (note the see-through saw)but it's my favorite (so far). Happy Halloween!

Tillboy

  The Right DANDY of Doom! This tip of one hat each to Rea Irvin's Eustace Tilley and Mike Mignola's wonderful Hellboy began as an (unsubmitted) entry to the New Yorker's annual Tilley contest a few years back. Halloween seems as appropriate a time as any to -um- resurrect him.

MAD-SQUERADE Part 2

Another Mad Men homage profile pic design from last year. It isn't strictly a Halloween toon, but I did dress as Batman several childhood Halloweens in a row. Batman is a trademark of DC Comics.

MAD-SQUERADE Part 1

"I do not drink....Old Fashioneds."  Have I mentioned how much I enjoy MAD MEN? I whipped this up as an avatar (profile pic, whatever) last Halloween.

Last Outhouse on the Left

Was that "BOO!" or "POO?" Talk about the Mummy's Curse! Happy Halloween!
