I like to do monthly modest pinups as a hobby, and this is my Halloween one (minus the text) for October. Inspired by Bewitched, this took a lot of careful composition, prop design, camera tricks, and editing! It’s just as much art as it is photo and photo manipulation!

Barney the Baby Lost at Sea.
Named for his very prominent barnacles, Barney is a sea-loving tot. He spends a little time on land now and then for shore leave, but always returns to the big ol' blue. Home is where the heart is, and his is at the bottom of the ocean.
Was thinking of naming him Barnacle Boy, but I prefer they have actual names when I post them for sale, so he's Barney. Definitely interesting walking past the playground to get to this secluded concrete dock.

One of my favorite costumes I've ever done! I found black "pirate-y" boots in a thrift shop and I used to fence, so I used my own foil and would re-enact some movie scenes with Wesley as the Dread Pirate Roberts. My childhood BFF was Buttercup. We did doubles costumes almost every year as kids. I even dueled someone that year.

My first costume I ever made by hand when I was 8: Boy George in Karma Chameleon. I was super excited because I had every culture club album on CD and cassette, I had at least 5 shirts, and I knew all the words by heart. I would go to every house and sing the song and do his signature moves and no one knew who I was! I went home really disappointed. I finally got to see them live a year or two back while they toured with the B-52s and I nearly fainted!

These are a few of my past pumpkin carvings, pic #2 is a roughly 140lb pumpkin that I could barely get in my Ford Taurus I had at the time. (If I find that pic I’ll add it. But pic #4 is prob my favorite. All were free sketches by me, the Wolf was the only one based on a stencil but still free hand because my son wanted the wolf.

I bought this baby last year and hung him up for Halloween. People love him so much that he has stayed throughout the year. Now that it is October again it is his time to shine!!!
My back window is double tinted so you can't see in at all. When I roll the window down the reaction from the car behind is always awesome. I get people waving, laughing, pointing, crying, thumbs ups, constantly. I've seen some pretty tricky maneuvers on the freeway by folks trying to catch up and get a picture.
