Halloween 2025

 Last year I was paid to decorate a yard for Halloween. This photo is a part of that project. I will try to find more. 

The Gay Blade of Frito Lay

 The last, for now, of our Frito Lay figure inspired illustrations.

The Gay Blade. 

Who seems to be an executioner. This type of subject was a common theme in this era of horror.

Nosferatu

I think I have painted Nosferatu like vampires more than any other monster. 

 

Harry Scary

 

Harry Scary is our next Frito Lay figure. I guess he is a werewolf with real big ears.... I don't know. Drawing him was fun. I hope you like it. Only one more to go. I do not own any of the other three yet, so I do not have them to use for reference. Stay tuned for The Gay Blade...Is that really what he is called? 

Yep. 

CROWS

 I have started building a relationship with the local crows. I have always loved wildlife and wanted to connect with them. I have seeing them gathering under the old maple tree in my front yard to eat the corn I have provided. Once they have gotten familiar with me, I plan to incorporate them in my yard haunt. I am going to put food in a custom built corpse to make it look like they are eating him. 

ALL ARE WELCOME!

 Please join me for spooky shenanigans!

TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE

“Man lives in the sunlit world of what he believes to be reality. But … there is — unseen by most — an underworld. A place that is just as real, but not as brightly lit — a Darkside.”

And now so does my water bottle. I am pretty happy with my TFTDS Ep JACK O LANTERN STICKER. I think they are going to prove to be really durable. Many more fun things to come at my STORE.

Mad Mummy

 

The Mad Mummy from the Frito Lay toys of the 1960s. The third in my series of drawings based on these tiny toys. I was not into this guy when I started. I thought he was pretty boring, but he turned out pretty well, I think. What do you think about him? Mummies are a favorite of mine, but the toy is pretty simple and he is not very detailed. I added a lot more texture than the toy has, and some visible teeth in his mouth slit.

Batty Bertha

 

I have learned more about the figures I am basing these drawings on. They were a Frito Lay give away found in bags of chips. Wow, they should bring that back. How fun is that? 

As near as I have found, this is the full set. I only own five of them. 

More to come!
