Its nearly here - one off my favourite celebrations of the year, my childrens too, so there will be pumpkin carving soon!

I thoroughly enjoyed being commissioned to create a series of images for a party invitation. The brief was simple - create three well known Halloween character portraits to be used for A6 sized card invites. One specifically had to be the Jack-O'-Lantern carved pumpkin, but other than that, I had free rein! Some thirty character studies later and three portraits were chosen - plus a fourth for good measure as the client really liked The Man In The Moon. I had a blast working on these images, especially as the client was so receptive to the drawings and ideas presented.

I have a feeling that more of my sketches may be developed to finished artwork - a few of my favourites based on Universal's best Movie Monsters...
