Revivor from James Knapp's "State of Decay"

Here's a new piece of artwork that I did yesterday in support of James Knapp's upcoming novel "State of Decay". This is colored pencil on 9"x12" Strathmore Artagain paper. Check out James' uber-cool work. You will not be disappointed. Here's a link to a sample chapter from "State of Decay".

All the best!

Case #1008

Here's a piece that I'd started Friday evening and finished Saturday just before the Zombie Engagement party / Halloween art show opened. This piece is 16"x20" (plus frame) colored pencil on gatorboard. It's a personal favorite of mine now and I hope it'll be one of yours as well. My apologies for the pitiful photography. I use a digital point-and-click camera. As always, click on the photos to see them larger.

All the best!

"Brother, Can You Spare Some Brains?"

"Brother, Can You Spare Some Brains?" is my latest piece. This one is 16"x20" (plus frame) colored pencil on gatorboard. This is my largest piece to date. I will have this piece (and others) at tomorrow night's "Zombie Engagement Party" at The Bar Standard (1037 Broadway, Denver, CO 80203). The show starts at 8pm and goes until 2am. I, and many other artists, will be doing some live art during the show. Come in costume and admission is $5. No costume is $10 to get in. 15% of sales will go to benefit The Rocky Mountain Cancer Research Center Foundation and the Sox Place. Come out, have a good time and help these good causes.

All the best!

Bride of Frankie colored pencil piece

I did this new piece during the Ultimate Horror Weekend show for Dirk Strangely. I swapped him for some of his prints. I think we each felt we got the better deal. That's always a good way to go. Until he sends me a good scan of the piece, here's a photo that I took of it. I didn't do the best job with the photo. I'm sure the scan will look better.

Hope you like it.

Ultimate Horror Weekend

Here are a few shots of my table from the show. I sold a few things and met a lot of great people. As you can see, my cousin Melissa stopped by to hang out with me for a little while. Her daughter Amanda and Amanda's boyfriend Matt were also there. It was great to see them all.

I had the pleasure of seeing Ghoultown perform. I also caught part of Psychocharger's set. Both were killer. Really diggin' Psychocharger's CD.

Overall the show was good for networking but not for sales. It's always good to show my work to those who've not seen it before. I was disappointed that more of the celebrities didn't find time to walk through the vendor room. I think the only celebrity (beyond the bands performing) that I got to see was Bill Hinzman. He introduced Ghoultown and then was cool enough to hang out for a few minutes and take photos with a few people in the audience. I didn't respond quickly enough to get a shot with him myself unfortunately. Hopefully I won't be so brain dead next time.

I picked up prints from my new friend Dirk Strangely and pendants from the incredibly talented and cool Zombie Head. Check 'em out. You'll dig 'em too!

All the best!

More Monster Sketch Cards Batch 2 of 2

Here is the second of 2 batches for your entertainment of new Monster Sketch Cards.

This batch includes one of the Strangers, a Saucerman, Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, and Jason Voorhees. Hope you enjoy them!

I'll have these with me at Spooky Empire's Ultimate Horror Weekend (this weekend!).

More Monster Sketch Cards

Yep, I'm now calling them Monster Sketch Cards instead of Horror Sketch Cards. That's because I've done a couple of aliens from science fiction films. Anyway, I've completed another 10. Here is the first of 2 batches for your entertainment.

This batch includes the Crypt Keeper, the girl from the Ring, slasher from Scream, Quasimoto, and Nosferatu. Hope you enjoy them!

I'll have these with me at Spooky Empire's Ultimate Horror Weekend (this weekend!).

All the best!

Baron Samedi

Here's a new painting that I just finished for the "Voodoo" art show at Luxe De Vil Salon at 657 Santa Fe in Denver, CO. This is an acrylic painting on an 11"x14" cradled wood panel. It's 3/4" deep and I've painted the edges to continue the image.

If you'll be out for First Friday please stop in and check out what looks to be a very cool show. I'll be there (at least for a while) and am looking forward to seeing a lot of familiar faces and making some new friends.

All the best to you!
Robert

"That Thing We Hide"

Because once is never enough ... here's another piece that I just whipped out. I call this one "That Thing We Hide". It's colored pencil on Strathmore Artagain paper (9"x12").

All the best!

"Could I Be?"

Here's a new colored pencil on black paper (Strathmore Artagain paper - 9"x12") that I just finished up ... started over the weekend while hanging out with our nieces. Hope you like it. If not, I hope it likes you anyway.

All the best to you!
