The very first âHalloweenâ is my all-time favorite horror film; all the sequels are trash and a waste of time. âHalloweenâ is damn near perfect, so how could I not bring Michael Myers into this list. I painted this one ten years ago, so itâs rough, but still not bad. Even killers need a coffee break and a trip to the nail salon. Happy haunting and thanks for listening!
Today, the scary is everywhere! A man threw his own funeral and he wasnât dead, plus a blind man in Italy received state benefits for 50 years, problem for him is that he wasnât actually blind. A restaurant in Washington has a strict no phones policy, and people are loving it. Something appears to be up with Britney Spears and it doesnât seem good. Francis Ford Coppola is broke, as in no money, and AI could soon be assisting NFL refs. Early to bed and early to rise isnât necessarily a good thing, and as odd as it may sound, people are being warned they shouldnât lick the toads. Three women were arrested because their underwear had $650,000 worth of gold in them, and Valentine’s Day is not the loneliest day of the year for singles; Halloween is! Today is our Halloween Spooktacular and itâs a complete waste of your time. That I promise.

I find painting human faces extremely difficult. There are so many different shades of color on one human face and I find painting that tedious. It helped that this is a clown. That said, it still took me months. The remake of the film, âITâ is one of my all-time favorite horror films. Bill SkarsgĂ„rd’s performance as Pennywise is one of the greatest in the history of horror. I put his performance up there with Boris Karloff as Frankenstein. I used a photograph of Mr. SkarsgĂ„rd in character and full makeup. I painted this about a year ago and it is one of my top five favorites.
The best man at a wedding was never told he shouldnât shoot anyone, and be careful of chat GPT; it apparently remembers what you talk about. Whatâs a skill everybody should learn, and how much do you think you need to retire? You may be shocked. Would you like to skip heavy traffic? Can you say flying taxis? A cow showed up in the median of a busy freeway, and no one can figure out how he got there. People are no longer hooking up for sexy romps, and the reason is a clear sign of the times. The color of your car may be attracting birds to take a dump on it, plus learn how not to decorate your house for Halloween. Scientists have woken something up thatâs been sleeping for forty thousand years. That doesnât seem like the best idea, does it? Plus, an alligator walked into a bar, and yes, it was in Florida. We’re clearly busy today, so letâs get started.

Lynda gave me an image she found on the internet and asked me to paint it. It was by an artist that goes by the name, â3 AM Horror.â I so love his art that I have pained his work on several occasions; this is simply the latest one. As I do often when painting an image I donât fully understand, I come up with a scenario as to what the painting could be about. In this case, I decided that this is the old dilapidated home where this man once lived. Since he died, the house has succumbed to the earth around it, and has started to fall into ruin. In death, his spirit returns to the same bench he spent many years sitting on as he continues in death what he did in life.
This one affords you the opportunity to play a little game. Iâve been a Munsters fan since childhood, and decided to paint them. The image you see doesnât exist anywhere except here. I read something about the Munsters which gave me the idea that you see. I allowed fantasy to play into this one as if the Munsters were a real live family. Based on what I read about the show, I created this image in my head. Everything you need to figure out the scenario of this setting is in the picture you see. I will share a bit of a hint; there is an easter egg buried somewhere in this painting that is the key to figuring out the scenario of what you see. If you have a guess, put it in the comments below. Have fun!
The worldâs largest great white shark breezed past swimmers in North Carolina, and a couple decides to divorce because their dog and cat couldnât get along. I can clearly see that! JK Rowling is pissed off at Emma Watson, and lets her have it on social media, plus a guy was arrested doing 107 mph because he had to get to his barber appointment, which makes complete sense. You want to sell your fingernail clippings? Because China is buying, and Iâm all in. Americans are cooling it on college saying itâs a waste of time and money, and Halloween is in trouble because Americans are saying itâs too expensive. I say pick one. And what are the best candies to hand out on Halloween? PETA is calling for a teacher to resign because of what she did to a new born kitten in front of her class, and that one is hard to hear. Florida comes through in a big way with a guy who presents a live alligator in court as his attorney. The crazies are clearly here, and that includes me.

This one is based on the Disney animated film, âThe Legend of Sleepy Hollow,â of which my daughter Amy is a massive fan. I painted this one for her birthday. The image you see doesnât actually appear in the film. I loved the image of the henchmanâs horse rearing back as the horseman swings his sword, while Ichabod and his horse come to a screeching halt in fear. I had to use these two images that came from different parts of the film, and I simply paired them together. Painting an animated image is a bit different from most other painting I do because there is very little traditional shadowing in this. Animation artists like to outline the image with a white or black line, which I found to be a challenge since I donât have the steadiest hand.
