Grim Grinning Ghost

 

I painted this by candle light when the power went out during Sandy.  However, it came back on after a few hours! It was a Halloween miracle!

Happy Halloween!!!

Fun for the Kiddos

These are some project ideas I came up with for work.  We are currently making the spiders for Halloween and the kids seem to be enjoying it.  I carry it by the string and show them how I take my spider for walks and they love it. 

Pattern techniques

Did this in class, scrape chalk dust on a pan on water, swirl it around with a pencil or something and then lay a piece of paper across it. The paper picks up the chalk when you take it out of the water.  After it dries you get something that looks like this.  Pretty cool.

The music in my head

I named him Ogglebert

I took a piece of sculpey clay and just smooshed it in my fist then gave it eyes and made it into a face thus creating a little character.  I then illustrated it from multiple angles.  Reminds me of a goblin from Labyrinth (One of my all time favorite films!).  Idea for illustration project...
