Summer has come and gone and I spent most of my time working, traveling, and partying on my roof. Fall is my favorite time of the year. Halloween is around the corner, which means in the weeks building up to it the world gets to up it's creep factor quite a bit. Which, of course, is something I am into.
I am starting a new series in which I will use 70s and 80s horror movie soundtracks as my creative vehicle. I want to listen to one specific song that moves me and re-imagine what this movie might be about. Just another excuse for me to delve into darker realms, I suppose.
Kicking my ass into gear and getting these going was not an issue after Xtina and I decided to plan a group art show with a Halloween theme. The opening will be the first Friday in October, which is the 7th. Yet again, we will be gracing O'Reilly's Pub with our artwork, and welcoming submissions from other Philadelphia artists. The response and interest we've gotten from people has been very encouraging which just means that this show is bound to rock.
Anyway, just a sneak peek of my first painting 'Ave Satani,' which is the theme song to The Omen. I think I will probably do 3 paintings revolving around this song and it's obvious satanic themes.
I find myself mixing the most vile, pukey, pastel-ish colors and somehow making them work. It gets worse in the next painting to come, which I will gladly post once it's completed.
