Halloween Great Horned Owl


Bubo virginianus

I did this one really quickly last night while watching ParaNorman. Inspiring!

Pennywise the Clown


Because Tim Curry plays the best creepy clown monster ever (even if the movie was kind of stupid).

The Haunted House


It's September. The air is finally getting colder. It's time for more Halloween illustrations!

This is a continuation of my tribute to the original Stephen Gammell illustrations - in particular this is from the story The Haunted House from the first Scary Stories book.

A couple of years ago Mr. Dennis Cornetta (aka Baron-Von-Jello) recreated one of the original Gammell illustrations using 3D software - baron-von-jello.deviantart.com… - which led to the idea that we should try to get a number of other illustrators to create their own tributes to the Gammell illustrations in their own styles.

So here is my challenge to all of you Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark fans - go forth and create your own tributes to the Gammell illustrations from Scary Stories! Show your love for the original Gammell work. Also - if you take up this challenge, please let me know, I'd love to see them!
Last year only one person took me up on the challenge:

Maybe this year there will be more takers?
