Happy Halloween to all. Hope you’re all having a good one.
I have to say mine has been a very mix one this year, full of ups and downs. Kind of great and terrible, both at the same time. On the negative side, there’s the usual pitfalls of real life that have overshadowed my Halloween a little bit this year. Plus the fact that one of my all time favourite and most influential artist pass away recently. And then to top it all, just as Halloween started to heat up, so did I, as I’ve managed to come down with something nasty this week, and am currently in recovery mode, and therefore had to miss out on some of my Halloween plans recently, which I was very much looking forward to. It’s very hard to justify being around friends, when there’s a good chance you could infect them and ruin their Halloween, too.
However on the plus side, after a summer of watching very little horror and feeling a bit burnt out on the genre, I am happy to say I’ve seen a few horror movies these pass couple of weeks that started to get me back into the mood (Highlights include: Wrong Turn 6, Excision and Eyes Without A Face.) Also, while real life might had been a bit of a blow out this year, things on the art side of life have been a lot better of late. Firstly, I have a secret project I’m working on with another artist that seems to slowly be coming together better lately. Something that hasn’t been announce yet, but we’re hoping to get out in 2017. And speaking of collaborations, I’ve also been lucky enough to work with two awesome models, and produce two new pin-ups this Halloween season. Firstly, there was the return of Mercedes The Muse, as she again found her late night skinny-dipping adventure rudely interrupted by the fiendish Uncle Gnaw (AKA: The Skinny-Dipper Ripper.) And now I can happily announce I’ve also been lucky enough recently to work with model Boo Peril on a new piece of artwork, which I’m posting today as my Halloween offering for this year. Witness the moment after late night car problems on a remote road, that Boo suddenly realizes on her walk back into town, that she is not alone that cold, dark night in this new image. A massive thank you to both Mercedes and Boo for taking time out of their busy, busy schedules to work on these pin-ups and help make them happen. And hope people enjoy them. For more details on this new pin-up, including a small story I’ve written to go along with it, head over to my deviantart page.
And if that wasn’t enough of a Halloween trick or treat… head over to Babayka-Lives this Halloween, where there is an extra gruesome instalment waiting for you, just in time for everybody’s favourite morbid holiday.
