Slasher Dave’s Halloween Store, Available Now!

Slasher Dave has released a new EP called “Halloween Store”, featuring cover art by yours truly, and available wherever you stream your music. If you want to support Dave directly, though (and you should!), https://slasherdaveofficial.bandcamp.com/album/halloween-store is the place to get it!

This is what Dave had to say about this release, and I couldn’t agree more: “Inspired by my love for Mom & Pop Halloween stores, and that feeling I had as a kid walking through each aisle. A little afraid, but in a FUN way! I would always think of each mask as a live character, and what they would talk like if in a haunted house. I would scare myself on purpose to make things even more scarier! Haha! To me, this EP brings the scary, magic feeling of classic 80s/90s Halloween shops back to life! All my stuff is influenced by SPOOKY SOUNDS FX cassettes and nerdy Horror soundtracks, so both tracks have a lofi 80s feel to them. A lot of those tapes were made to SCARE you, the synth sounds on ’em were frightening. So I kept both tracks raw, gritty, and demented sounding. Enjoy, and tag me (@slasherdave) in your Halloween festivities with the tracks! I will try my best to repost all of them!”

Will o’ the Wisp Painting

This painting started life as a Rhode Montijo “Draw This In Your Style” challenge for #FantasmicalFridays back in September, but I didn’t have time to finish it. Today I picked back up with it, dropped the “Draw This In Your Style” part and just painted until it felt finished. I’m calling it “Will o’ the Wisp”.Will-o-the-Wisp---Fantasmical-Fridays-09-23-24

#FrightFall2024 Daily Drawing Challenge Day 17: FULL MOON

#FrightFall2024 from @retrosupply Daily Drawing Challenge Day 17: FULL MOON
I’ve missed the last couple of days of #FrightFall thanks to a head cold, but I wanted to do a few things with this piece. First, I didn’t plan this one out – just made it up as I went along. Second, I wanted to include an homage to the “hand clouds” around the moon from #Disney‘s “The Legend of #SleepyHollow“. And, finally, as this was largely inspired by classic #Halloween and #Horror #SoundEffects album art, I only used #gouache brushes in #procreate for anything that’s not black.
