Horror Portrait no. 5. This is the last of the current batch. Really had fun with it, but figuring out the inking took a bit. So much noodly detail This is a zombie from the film, uh, Zombie. The makeup effects were by Giannetto De Rossi, and I've always just loved this particular zombie. #zombie #luciofulci #horrorart #penandink #giannettoderossi

Horror Portrait #4! This was actually done before the Bride. I THINK this was the first one done entirely with the #3 brush. This is, of course, Bill Paxton as Severen from Near Dark, a great (and underseen) vampire flick from 1987. "Howdy! I'm gonna seperate your head from your shoulders!" #billpaxton #neardark #horrorart #penandink

To go with my Canon podcast appearance, here's Horror Portrait #3 - The Bride of Frankenstein! I think I posted the digital sketch for this a month or two ago. This was actually the fourth illo I did for this month. I'm not as keen on the linework with this, but I do like the hair. #brideoffrankenstein #universalmonsters #penandink #horrorart

Horror portrait illo #2. Our man Vincent Price. This is from The Tingler, but I alwasy thought it would make a great, alternate Re-Animator portrait. Just fill that vial and syringe with glowing green liquid and we're all set. Getting a little more comfortable with the brush here, and I like the lines on the shadows of his face. Learning to use a larger (#3) brush, vs the 000s I trained myself on. #vincentprice #thetingler #horror #horrorart #penandink

I've been taking some of my "monster sketch monday" sketches, which were done digitally, and turning them into actual pen and ink drawings. As always when it's been so long, I'm relearning how to use a brush. I think this first one has lost a bit from the original, but figured I'd share it anyway. Will share the rest over the week (I've done 5 so far). #penandink #hannibal

It's been a while, and it ain't Monday, but here's the first Monster Sketch I've done in... many months. Looking forward to spooky season, where the Bride awaits. #monstersketch #brideoffrankenstein

#monstersketchmonday I know, I’m late again. And this is a pretty sketchy sketch. I’m finding it’s hard to nail down enough time at the end of a Monday. I’ll try working on it in the morning, see if that helps. In the future. For now, heeeere’s Jack! Wrong movie. Dammit. #thenightmarebeforechristmas #jackskellington #monster #sketch

A late #monstersketchmonday! Scanners is one of my favorite David Cronenberg films and it was released in January of 1981. I think this might have been the first film I saw Michael Ironside in as well! #scanners #davidcronenberg #michaelironside #monster #sketch
