The problem with some of the more traditional (cliched) items on these Halloween Lists is how to make them interesting. So when I got to witches I wanted to do something different but not so different they’d still be recognized as witches. In the end I went back to basics and went with the scene on the blasted heath from Macbeth.
A very Happy Birthday to Mr. Dizzy Gillespie!
Let’s Celebrate with version of Mr. Thelonious Monk’s 52nd Street Theme, with Milt Jackson on the vibraphone and Charlie Rouse on tenor sax!
For today’s Inktober challenge the tupperware told me to draw a demon. This is third demonic figure I’ve done in these challenges this year. So I was scratching my head on how to keep things interesting. Beyond Grand Guignol style cheap horror it seemed to be a choice between having one whisper in someone’s ear, or a summoning. I went with the summoning.
In hindsight I’m not sure with the boilerplate nerdy kid wizard I went with, but since I wanted him sort of out of focus I guess he works.
I was still in media dive mode this morning after the debates when I caught this headline:
Now I know this headline is exactly what It says it was, but I hadn’t had my coffee yet. So for a whole five seconds I thought the article was about Baelor the Blessed locking his sister/wives in the Maidenvault.
I confess, while I think Robert Kirkman’s Walking Dead is a solid piece of work that deserves it’s place as one of the modern comic book classics, I’ve yet to get around to watching the A&E adaptation. However as a huge Monty Python I’ll listen to just about anything John Cleese tells me so I just had to share this:
Remember, Kids. Don’t look at the flowers!
With the current urban legend about clown sightings the thought of doing a monster clown isn’t quite as entertaining as I thought it would be… but the first thing you learn about sketch challenges is you don’t argue with the Tupperware.
Rather than make this guy truly monstrous I tried to go for just how a real party clown would be distorted by a five year olds perception… and then I gave him the teeth anyway.
