Sketches

Prince Prospero

Vincent Price as Prince Prospero from "Masque of the Red Death"
Acrylic on canvas, 12 x 16

Such a great movie. Its hard to pick a best one out of the Roger Corman / Edgar Allan Poe films, but this one has to be right up there. I finally got a copy of it on Blu ray last year and it looks fantastic. I highly recommend to anyone to pick up the Vincent Price Collection blu ray sets.

The Green Slime

This is a drawing of the monster from this great cheesy 70's scifi flick. I still only have a copy of this on VHS, I wonder if its out anywhere on BLU.

Besides the great battle scenes between space soldiers and an army of monsters the real highlight of the movie might be the theme song.

Grandpa Munster

Another Acrylic portrait, I like trying to find interesting faces to try and paint. I based this off a photo of him I found online, I made the hair and the eyebrows a little wilder than they were in the pic. I really like how it turned out.

More Krampus

The Krampus painting is done. I don't know what I was thinking, giving him blue skin with a blue background, but somehow it seems to have worked out.

Krampus

I'm still trying to keep myself in the Xmas mood so I decided to do some more seasonal artwork. You can find out plenty of information about him online but basically Krampus is the German anti-Santa. While Kris Kringle comes around with gifts for all the good children Krampus comes around with a switch and chains and drags the bad children down to hell. What a great idea, too bad we don't have stuff like this over here in North America.

This is a cool video I found online that really spells it out.

I'm trying my hand at a painting of Krampus, for now I've just got the sketch and color study done. I'll put up the final painting when I get it done.

Santa vs the Aztec Mummy

Its a K Gordon Murray Christmas. I've been watching a bunch of old shitty xmas movies trying to get into the holiday spirit. Specifically the old Mexican "Santa Claus" movie, you know the one with Santa vs Pitch, and "Santa Claus vs the Martians". I was gonna have Santa vs the Robot but somehow the Aztec Mummy popped into my head.
