Art & Inspiration The Friday "HALLOWEEN" Art Show 10-26-07

Hello fellow arteests,
I was really looking forward to this special art show this week because for a long time, Halloween has been such a fun holiday for me. I grew up in the 70's with monsters like Dracula, The Mummy, Wolfman, Creature from the black lagoon and especially ... Frankenstein

This new piece was done with acrylic paints, rattle spray can and indian ink on a "11 X "14 canvas.

Inspired by the works of Ed Roth, Tingler and Dirty Donny... enjoy!

Okay fellas, post-up ...and Happy Halloween.

 

Hi. This is for my aquaintance friend named Bob Merkt. He will soon leave Milwaukee
for Austin. I wish Bob well. This is for him (his last Milwaukee show):

 

Good Lord Cab. Are you getting ready to "retire" from skating?? You sure are honing your art skills............ Great job as always.

 

...YEAH CAB! Why don't you just go and make it look easy why don't ya.

WOW.




Here's the one from last week posted again. I've got a couple more that I need to get pics of today.

Sorry for the horrible pics. I just snapped these on the easel.

Happy Halloween!
Great start to what Im sure will be yet another awesome art week!

I did this one yesterday night to have a fresh piece for the show. Its acrylic on canvas 18X24. I call it "Eye Popping Rod"



Heres a close up on the road kill flying eye. Gross!!



Heres a few favorites from the past that are "creepy" worthy












Trick or Treat!!!!!!

 

Tingler, I like those two b/w pieces! great stuff!

 

wow great start to the show this week fellas....steve you are such a talented bloke and tingler incredible......
nothing halloweenish from me just another colored pencil piece....not too sure if i like this one or not...started to get a bit messy with all the layers

called `burnt out`



thanks to A32flathead for the `loan` of the inspiration...cheers dave

 

wait heres an old one.....herman pencil sketch

 

Monster.
That busted eyeball is sick. I really like the patchwork tats on the monster's arm. Sweet.

 

Almost forgot! I like to play around with different mediums, and I came up with this. Its Hi-temp gasket sealer on canvas! haha! It cures FAST and ends up rubbery!!
It kinda fits being black and orange. If you use this to "paint" with, make sure its well ventilated! *choke*

 

Hmmm, monsters.

 

something the wife and daughter threw togeather while i was at work. skeleton driving , gost in the back seat blood on the windows . bloddy hand prints spider webs. smoke machine. it looks cool at night , i rigged up a battery charger so the lights work and it looks erie.

 

this never, ever, never, ever, ceases to astound my senses, this art show....what a great way to start the day....with all these Frankie's, thought I'd throw in an oldie from a few years back....



rock on Tingler-stein.....
Hami

 

a little conversion from the challenge thread.
Enjoy your kids candy!

 

This was painted by my girl.........hope you guys like it

 

It's #2 pencil

 

17 or 18 posts and look at the quality and the different mediums already...that gasket sealer piece takes the cake !!!

finished just in time ..my #3 schooldesk , complete with "coathanger cobwebs, eyeball washers, copper feet, and the seat pinstriped to look like upholstery.....Happy Halloween to all

 

Oh man! great show and theme this week!

 

This doesn't fit the Halloween theme. I will go find an ugly monster and post it later today.

 

SWEET! I had to explode real big to see that seat was not red flake vinyl..........awsum

 

could'nt wait to take a peek any longer
amazing start already
NNIICCE painting, cab
everything posted so far is better then ever
in my old hometown of york pa as high school kids we got to paint large murals on the store fronts downtown at halloween a few days before the city halloween parade. (the only kool thing besides havin the US 30 drag strip). every store front was covered. this reminds me of that, but the talent is far better.
I'll check in with my stuff later

everybody good luck on the HAMB art challenge

 

Bert.....your girl has some skills! That is sooooo cool!

Tingler...i think "punkin" makes one of the coolest monsters
i have ever seen!!! Thank you for posting that!

 

I'm working on some new stuff but none of it is ready.Since others are posting old stuff too, here are some oldies from me.

 

My favorite art show! Here's some metal work. Great work guys, Bonehead

 

Wow!, all you guys rock....Amazing work.
