Featured Artist Interview January 2017: The Painted Peep Show

Interview with Blake Roberts of The Painted Peep Show:

At what age did you discover your love of Halloween?

Between my love of monsters, scary movies, and making costumes, I probably started leaning towards Halloween as my favorite holiday when I was 10 or 11.

What is your fondest Halloween memory?

I can’t say I have just one, but a fond memory that’s ongoing is my annual costume creation process. I spend weeks designing, building, and tweaking my costumes. This usually involves scary movies and multiple glasses of wine (or cider if the weather is cool enough).

How do you celebrate Halloween?

Every year, I host a costume party with custom props and special effects. Recent party themes have included 7 Deadly Sins and Psycho.

When did you start creating in your medium and what training have you had?

I’ve been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil. When I was very young, I’d make comic books, xerox them, and sell them to classmates for a quarter a piece. Since then, I’ve graduated with an Illustration degree from Savannah College of Art & Design.

What was the inspiration to create what you create when did you know
you wanted to create Halloween?

In 2009, I was laid off from my job and had trouble finding a new gig (this was during the height of the financial crisis). My sister suggested I open an Etsy store to keep myself active, so I did. I started with Halloween greeting cards and expanded from there.

Interview with Amethyst Raven Designs:

At what age did you discover your love of Halloween?

I discovered my love for Halloween around the age of about 7 -8. It was when I discovered my gothic side and love of new romantic music… The style and Halloween just added to it…

What is your fondest Halloween memory?

I don’t really have a fondest Halloween memory; I have a few Halloween memories’… Two in particular, 1st was 7 years ago, My son was born the day before Halloween and it was quite a dramatic delivery, I had to have a c section, and ended up losing a lot of blood, through the night I took a turn for the worse and ended up having to have a blood transfusion on Halloween… Hooked up to the machines draining the blood whilst the nurses and midwives all dressed up in costumes rallied around =D It was funny…
2nd was 5 years this year my grandfather passed away on Halloween, whilst it is a sad occasion, it is also carries great memories because he LOVED Halloween.

How do you celebrate Halloween?

We celebrate Halloween; by dressing up, decorating the house just have fun. Also as I mentioned my son was born the day before so it is now a great excuse to have a party. 😉

When did you start creating in your medium and what training have you had?

I started creating in the medium I use about 3 years ago… I have had no formal training, apart from fine and tradition art diplomas, I am self-taught with Photoshop and digital art…

What was the inspiration to create what you create when did you know
you wanted to create Halloween?

I gain inspiration from the things around me, and use my imagination, anything creepy, dark and just plain weird if it sparks my interest, then I go with the flow. Creating Halloween style art is just my style… I mix it up sometimes by creating fantasy art… But always prefer the darker side.

Featured Artist Interview November 2016: Harvest Moon Studio

Interview with Joy Parisi of Harvest Moon Studio:

At what age did you discover your love of Halloween?

I have always loved Halloween. I have so many fond memories from a very young age of dressing up and going to family & friends trick or treating. Also, the yearly watching of “The great pumpkin Charlie Brown” with my parents.

What is your fondest Halloween memory?

Some of my fondest memories of Halloween were when I was little, we used to have a Halloween costume parade and party at school. My Mom used to come in and bring home made chocolate Halloween decorated cupcakes with witches, bat, cats etc on them. Then we had trick or treating to look forward to after school.

How do you celebrate Halloween?

We would always have a Halloween party when I lived at home complete with decorations, costumes, bobbing for apples etc. As I grew and had my own family we would invite my kids cousins and friends over and I would make home made pizzas and cupcakes – all kinds of goodies and have a pumpkin carving party. Then we would all go out trick or treating. At the beginning of October we would watch a Halloween movie on Friday nights. So we pretty much would celebrate Halloween starting the beginning of October.

When did you start creating in your medium and what training have you had?

Always having a love of arts & crafts, I started at a young age with all different sorts of things. My parents found a Halloween picture that I had drawn some time in grade school recently so I guess I’ve been at it for a while.
I have been working with acrylics & oils for about 15 years and started selling Halloween stuff almost exclusively for about 10 yearsrs or so.
I have had minimal training along the way. Most of it has been all self taught.

What was the inspiration to create what you create when did you know
you wanted to create Halloween?

I started painting reverse glass lampshades with a family member – while she was doing florals I wanted to paint a Halloween scene. It just came naturally, it was something I just felt and wanted to do. So that is how I started and enjoyed it much more than the florals…

Happy Frankenstein Day!

Frankenstein Day -By Katrina Sosnowski

Happy October everyone!
I know we are all excited for Halloween, but did you know there is another day to celebrate this month? The last Friday in October is Frankenstein Friday! Here are some fun facts about this special day;

The Origin of Frankenstein Day:
This special day was created by Ron MacCloskey from Westfield, New Jersey in 1997.
Frankenstein Friday celebrates he birth of Frankenstein and its creator. Frankenstein is one of the best-known horror characters, dating back to the 1800’s. I can’t imagine the Halloween season without the presence of Frankenstein, lurking somewhere in the darkness.

Frankenstein was born in 1818 when Mary Wollenstonecraft Shelley, at the age of 21, wrote the story “Frankenstein”.
Frankenstein’s Mother: Mary Wollenstone Shelley
Frankenstein’s Father: Boris Karloff

To celebrate this day, you can read the novel, or see a Frankenstein movie.

Ron MacCloskey, the creator of this special day, awards “The Franky” each year to someone who has made a significant contribution to the promotion of Frankenstein. Maybe next year, you will receive the coveted “Franky” award.

I know we will be celebrating Frankenstein day at my house this year, how about you?

Bold October – A Poem by Marjorie Burney Willis

Bold October -A Poem by Marjorie Burney Willis
-Posted By Angelique Duncan

Bold October is a poem written some time ago by my grandmother, Marjorie Burney Willis. It was originally published in an anthology of Texas Poets that was produced by the Texas Poetry Society at some point in the 1980’s. Outside of her poetry that was published by the Texas Poetry Society and the American Poetry Society, this is the only remaining poem left from a lifetime of writing. She used a type writer, back before desktops and laptops and hard drive back ups. The lifework of poetry was lost in a “shady incident”, never to be recovered. Majorie; affectionately named “Grin”, passed away in 1994. Her poetry rest with her in a cemetery in League City Texas.

Bold October

“When old October comes blustering across Texas,
The whole countryside gets the heebie-jeebies.
Winds howl across streams…
Giving cyotes and coons the shakes…
The possums and skunks the jitters…
Crows fly sideways, flapping glossy wings…
Cawing over cornfields…
Chaparral cocks dart from hystack to haystack…
Snakes slither through wind-swept grasses.
High above it all,
Wild geese get the jimjiams…
Hogging the Texas skyways…
Honking like dudes in fiveo’clock traffic…
While the sun cowers behind clouds…
Not daring to peep or come out.
But bold October keeps coming
Across Texas….
Niether looking where it’s going
nor caring.

Featured Artist Interview October 2016: PunkinPrims

Posted on by

To find where Barbara of PunkinPrims sells her wares visit her on her artist page on HAB. 

Interview with Barbara Rondello-Bucher of PunkinPrims:

At what age did you discover your love of Halloween?

I have loved Halloween as long as I can remember! When I was very young, and that was a LONG time ago!, I had a bulletin board in my bedroom. I would cut out and decorate Jack O Lanterns and pin them on my board in the Fall. And of course, there was the CANDY! We used pillowcases and went out begging for hours. I just love the colors of Halloween and Fall. I don’t know what the draw is to them, but it feels just right inside.

What is your fondest Halloween memory?

Pouring all the candy on the floor with my brother and trading the pieces we didn’t like. Also he didn’t care about the pennies so I always traded candy for the pennies, which is surprising since I am a sugar addict!!

How do you celebrate Halloween?

I have as much Halloween decorations as I do Christmas and that’s A LOT! I get a little carried away. There are orange lights all over the place too! I don’t have kids but somehow, there ends up being at least 8 carved pumpkins on my porch and stoops. Hehe! I put on a cape and witch hat and pass out candy. I just love the whole season.
P.S. I have Thanksgiving decorations too….

When did you start creating in your medium and what training have you had?

I have no training at all. I have always been creative and a vintage “collector” so making little pumpkin folks out of old junk just came naturally. And honestly, the hunt for more junk is just as much fun as the creating. I can be at a garage sale and see an old funnel and think GREAT DRESS FOR A WITCH!

What was the inspiration to create what you create when did you know
you wanted to create Halloween?

I bought a huge box of clock gears at a garage sale years ago and they just looked like collars to me. Next thing you know I was making pumpkin and witch heads out of clay so the gears could be collars. It just took off from there.
