New Skeleton Krew in the works

I've been just super busy this week at work that I am behind on so many things. But I thought I'd take a breather and share a new painting that is in the works from my Skeleton Krew Collection. Meet Master Gorey and his wife Lenor, they are caught in a moment all dolled up during their march in the Black Parade.

Master Gorey is a calm gentlemen, he almost seems too charming to be dressed in his devilish costume. Lenore has a slight crazed look about her, she is in traditional Day of the Dead makeup matched with black attire. This is the first stage of the painting, they almost look a little comical at this point, I have much more creepy detailing to do on their faces and also I will be adding a little coloring to the flowers on her blouse. I really love this photo, reminds a little of the odd couple from the painting American Gothic, though here these odd folks are dressed for death; walking on the path of mortality.

Bat Sunday!

Put on your Sunday's best and prowl the streets in the black parade. This little darling is all dolled up in a black peacoat with ruffled bow, a top hat with walking stick and who cannot forget to go out in full fangs. She is my latest painting from my Skeleton Krew Collection. I will be putting it at The Toothless Cat gallery at The Piazza at Schmidts in Philly sometime soon, however it may be offered in my shop at a later date. Stay tuned for more new paintings in the works, I'm building up some new pieces possibly for a show closer to Halloween.
