A Lesser Beast of Hell

Okay, guys, here is another new sculpt---I saw this illustration in a book called "The Demon Hunter's Handbook", illustrated by Miles Teves, and I just was in awe. Even though my sculpt is my own interpretation, I have to give credit to this wonderful artist! It is getting more and more difficult to find 'real' art...not that I do not like digital art/photomanipulation...but there is something incredibly special about an artist who sits down with pencil and paper or clay or whatever and creates something tangible with his/her own hands--no computer involved whatsoever. Guess I'm old-fashioned but there it is! I've 'fessed up! Don't get scared, now! hehe

New Work

Finished a couple more sculpts...first one is titled "The Monster's Lament" and the second is "Ghost". Was a bit melancholy when I made these, you know, sort of hiding within myself kind of mood. As usual, I can't take pics worth a flip (altho' Ghost didn't come out too badly). Just thought I'd share them with you...

And The Winner Is...

Congratulations to Der Krampus, winner of my Halloween goodies giveaway! Thanks to all who entered and thanks for your comments...I'll be having another Halloween giveaway soon.

Last Chance

Anybody interested in taking a chance in my giveaway--well, that chance expires at midnight, tonite! Just a brief reminder...for more info, please see previous blog entry!

A Little Halloween Giveaway- (Mood Enhancer...)

Okay! Even tho' it doesn't seem to be the right atmosphere lately for a Halloween giveaway (I've noticed that some of my fellow bloggers have been giving away some terrific presents and there have been few participants trying to throttle each other for the prize which has been good for me of course since I've entered all of 'em), I'm gonna' go for it, bend before the storm, throw in the towel, and have my own giveaway, regardless of crappy atmosphere. Excuse me while I take a breath. Continuing along in the same vein...all one has to do in order to be entered in this 'fantastic' giveaway is read my preceding blog entry, watch the 16 minute video "Harker" and comment on it. That's it!
The winner will receive a skull and crossbones totebag, a ceramic Halloween mug, a set of 4 glass votive candles and a CD entitled "Broom with a View", a collection of Halloween carols by Kristen Lawrence. I shall randomly choose the lucky recipient of the above listed items next Tuesday evening after midnight. (which means you have one week to do your homework...)

"Harker" (of Dracula fame)

Most of you know that I'm active in Deviant Art. If you haven't visited the site, I highly recommend it; you will find a wealth of fascinating art in every imaginable form. One of my very favorite works is a short puppet animation film by Scotty Shoemaker, Jason Murphy and Tony Giordano made in 2005. Based on German expressionism, it very successfully mimics the old silent films, albeit with 12 inch rod puppets. This is a stunning collaboration approximately 16 minutes in length which also manages to convey a fun and different take on the classic "Dracula" story. Do take the time to watch--you won't be sorry!
