I have 25 sets of blank greeting cards featuring my Halloween artwork on the front for a measly $10 per set! Each set contains 5 different cards (with envelopes), tied together with raffia, just waiting to stuff a haunter’s Christmas stocking! See the full listing over at my Etsy store.

I almost forgot to post this – the t-shirt (this one) has been ordered and, as I said, there’ll only be 20 of this particular version. I’ll have exactly 3 left over, all XL. If you want one, you should definitely order it. They won’t be around long.

I’m participating in 3 different Halloween group gallery exhibits this year. Click the titles below to go to each shows website/details page. Some imagery may be NSFW, so be warned:

The Madman’s Masquerade at the Kingston Shirt Factory in Kingston, NY, Saturday, October 16, from 7:00 pm – 12:00 am. This is a huge event – hit the website for details on everything that’s happening, including a performance by Psycho Charger!

Sweet Abominations, Gallery Provocateur’s Annual Halloween Dark Art Exhibition in Chicago, IL, October 30th through January 2011. Opening cocktail reception from 8:00 pm – 12:00 am on Saturday, October 30th.

Based on the immediate positive response to yesterday’s Jack O’ Lantern, I did an *extremely* limited run of t-shirts featuring the image. These were orange on black shirts, with a tiny Sinister Visions logo in the bottom corner. I may do a different shirt using the same design down the road, but it’ll never be exactly like this one. So the word here is EXCLUSIVE: Only 20 shirts were produced. So if you want one, grab it!

Shirts are $20.00 and we only have 3 left, size XL. Shipping is a flat $4.50 for the continental USA. If you’re outside the US, contact me about ordering shipping.

This is a digital mock-up. Placement/color might vary *slightly* from this image, but I have faith in my printer.

I did the artwork for and designed the cover of the Halloween issue of Fire Mass Magazine, and also have artwork featured inside.

You can now get a signed/numbered 8 x 10 print of Never Bury a Corpse in a Pumpkin Patch and Dia de las Calabazas directly through ChadSavage.com (just click the names of each painting in this sentence!).

If you like “Too Close for Comfort”, you can buy the original 5 x 7 painting on Etsy.

Yesterday Ripley and I went over to the old graveyard behind our house (we have 4 of them, actually – all on adjacent plots of land, surrounded by residential neighborhoods. Weird!) and gathered graveyard maple leaves from under this tree:

The best leaves come from graveyards

The first thing we’ve made from them are these. Ripley’s is Sharpie’d, mine’s cut out with an X-Acto Knife. Ripley’s been paying attention to Daddy’s style of Jack O’ Lantern, while I opted for a very traditional face:

I like Ripley's better than mine...

There will be more to come…

Last year I discovered the Halloween Countdown and swore to myself that in 2010 I’d participate. At some point in recent memory, I also saw a fellow artist who posted a skull a day for a month. So, for my Halloween countdown, my daughter Ripley (8) and I are going to come up with and post at least one Jack O’ Lantern a day, every day in October. We’re going to be as creative as we can, and we’ll see what we come up with. Last night’s M & M’s were the beginning; tonight Ripley and I watched “Hocus Pocus” and painted these awesome paper mache masks we found at our local Michael’s:

Ripley painted two; I painted one.

Here’s a teaser for something I’m going to be doing throughout October as part of the Halloween Countdown 2010 – details will come this weekend.
