I love monsters and Halloween is approaching. I also love pen and ink, but this isn't pen and ink. It's acrylic on canvas. BTW the tiny Bird is really the more powerful of the two, because he's the Monster's subconscious.

What Shall I Be For Halloween?

"What Shall I Be for Halloween?" A monster contemplates his costume choices. Maybe he will go as Harry Potter. Maybe as an angel. Who knows? As for me, I love Halloween and wanted to get an early start on it this year. I also want to get back to my roots: fantasy and fun art. This is what I enjoy doing the most.

This year, I'm getting an early start on Autumn. Used to be I'd wait till Thanksgiving. This one is part of my "Ladies in Funny Hats" series, only she's got a cat and no hat. It's based on an old ACEO I did several years ago, see below.  One more thing: Can you find the heart hidden in the composition?

An old theme, revisited. A few years ago I did an ACEO of this one, below. I'm not sure if trying to repeat the past is such a good idea; still there are things about the newer version that I like. In the end, it comes down to getting out the old sketchbook and coming up with a good initial design, which certainly could reinterpret past elements in a new way.




Here's the older version:
