A Few Evil Things (Day 9 of the 32 Days of Halloween)
filed in Book Cover Illustrations and Artwork on Oct.08, 2012
In my childhood, Halloween was a more innocent time. Since then, one can feel the evil influences and while these have certainly done much to energize parts of the entertainment industry and put a few entertainment thrills and chills into readers and audiences, it is not without a downside. I often would like a little of the innocence and joy to come back. Perhaps one day.
In the meantime, here’s a little terror from the dark side that I’ve created with various projects:

Some terrifying horror illustrations here. You’re a very talented artist and I can see why publishers and authors would want you as the illustrator for their books.

Organic Thoughts is one of my all-time favorites! (But I love them all!)

Thanks for the kind words Sherry and Karen. “Organic Thoughts” employs patterns similar to those found in some leaves. It is rather amazing how mapping those to a face transforms it into such a monstrous appearance.

What frightening artwork — what an artist you are. I can see why someone would hire you to create a book cover for them.
