Haunt: Halloween Graveyard


It's that month again!  My favorite month of the year!  When all of the ghosts and ghouls come out to play (at least they used to when I was a kid in the 80s and early 90s anyway).

Even though I'm down here south of the Equator again, and all of the trees are blooming, and the sun is shining, I still have autumn in my heart.  It also helps that Dunedin has the creepiest graveyards in the world to get me in the Halloween spirit!

Edit: I know I already submitted this earlier, but the word for this week at Illustration Friday is "Haunt" so I thought this was appropriate.

Happy Halloween!

Ghost in the Graveyard


Lately the wife and I have been watching a lot of horror and Halloween movies, so I've been inspired to do some creepy illustrations.  I actually completed this drawing about a week ago, but totally spaced out uploading it onto the blog.  
This is very much inspired by the graveyards in Dunedin, New Zealand.  They look like the setting of a zombie apocalypse.  Don't believe me?  Take a look-
Dunedin Grave 1 Dunedin Grave 2 Dunedin Grave 3
That last picture is Larnach’s tomb, which was in the final stages of being restored when I was there last.  That place also has a pretty messed up history.
