The Dark Art of Chad Savage » Halloweeen

For the Haunter Who Has Everything…

Chad — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 06:26:47 +0000

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.

Jack of 1,000 Faces T-Shirt: 3 Left

Chad — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 04:55:34 +0000

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.

Jack O’ Lantern for October 14, 2010 : T-SHIRT!

Chad — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 20:06:01 +0000

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.

Jack O’ Lantern for October 3, 2010

Chad — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 02:45:11 +0000

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…

The Jack O’ Lantern Project 2010

Chad — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 04:47:38 +0000

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.
