“The Pumpkin Saint”

‘Tis the season, Halloween is upon us, my skull-shaped charcuterie boards are ready (we will be doing a party of course, and there will be cucumber snake salads and eyeball punch) and in that spirit, here are my spooky and not-so-spooky pictures from the past few months.

And we’re back to color! I’m still searching for that one style/subject/medium that I want to use for everything. Things still feels very chaotic right now. But I am noticing progress, which is nice. Hopefully in another six months I will have something a bit more consistent and intriguing to show.

Aughostus Challenge

Below are a few older ones from back in August that I did for an Instagram drawing challenge called “Aughostus”, which was all about ghosts. I’m no longer pleased by them, but in the interest of documenting progress, here they are!

This one was for the prompt “Lock.” It took me eight billion years to finish and now when I look at it, I’m not sure why. But I like the concept, so maybe in a few months I will do it again.

“Makeshift Moon”

(Ok, this one is still cute. I love moons.)

This one is even older and never got a title. I just wanted to draw a melty person.

And finally, a jolly pumpkin ghost, also from a while back.
