Danielle Sayer Design sells two versions of this terrific Frankenstein’s monster cross stitch.
Isn’t this a great Halloween (or anytime) addition to a cozy, monster loving household?

Hilary Wallace suggested her portfolio for my Halloween countdown, and I feel it fits.
This was done in colored pencil:
I adore this vampire’s hands.
Well, miss…your hair looks lovely.
The perfect zombie mouth:

Neato Coolville featured these excellent iron on transfers, featuring some classic fiends.
I think I’d wear every one of these on a T-shirt
for Halloween.
In fact, this is going to be be new “migraine T-shirt” for those headachy days.
Which one is your favorite?
There are some leads for original image sourcing here.

This homemade parasite specimen is one of the finest examples of DIY prop crafting I’ve ever seen.
The creator gives a small comment:
This was sculpted out of polymer clay and painted with acrylics. The detail work was done with dental tools and some custom texture stamps. I added the gore just to dress up the photos a bit. It’s essentially lumpy gravy- cornstarch and water mixed with some food coloring and heated up until it gels.
I don’t know about you, but I think the goopy red stuff is a very nice touch. A shiny, slimy luster makes any parasite look its best.

I came across art by EGO with no website link, and it’s hard to find a comprehensive source of work as it seems to be spread all over between tattoo sites, blogs, etc. But…I like it! So here are some examples.
An internet search for EGO obviously produces thousands of completely irrelevant results (though why not run with the inadvertent psychological education?). Love his skeleton and monster work.

Mythic Articulations creates made to order 3D printed skeleton models of mythological cryptids. Even the packaging is brilliant.
The sad fairy is beauitful.
And the dragon is my favorite.

Cererbus (completely badass…the chains are a nice touch):

I can always count on Monster Brains to showcase great stuff. Tasty Soil is the wild, weird and wonderful artwork of Chris Pottinger. Are you ready for some awesome monsters that look like rampant doodles came to life on the page?
Look at them! Globs of overflowing viscera and teeth, mysterious piles of organs and glands, too many eyeballs!
I’m definitely going to print out some of the black and white monsters to color…because I’m not ashamed to act like a five year old. Every adult should pull out some markers and color a monster, now and then.
Since I’m still battling some serious health issues, I think I’m going to use these monsters as my visual adjectives on especially tough days.
Example:
“How are you feeling, Dana?”
“Like this:”
“…thanks for asking!”

I apologize if I’ve posted some of these before. I forgot to clean out my “desktop goodies” folder and I may be repeating myself (though I don’t think so). Either way, these treasures are worth seeing.
This is real!
I’ve seen fortune teller automata before, but never Puss in Boots. He sees straight into your soul. It burns.
Take a moment to really absorb and digest this book. This may be one of the most horribly absurd things I’ve seen, and that’s saying something.
I love this headstone. If I am interred, I hope I get a lot of reading done down there.

Need I comment on this? I think not.
Where’s the bumper sticker that says MY OTHER CAR IS A FLOWER COVERED CARRIAGE STEERED BY A GIANT DEER HEAD?
Dr. Coffins wonders why his private practice attracts very few patients.
Talk about a niche market!
Best caption ever.
In closing, we must all ask ourselves…

Attaboy has written a book I feel is worth having for the title alone.
Doesn’t this sound wonderful? Look at the contents!
I do not have kids, but would be excited to give this to any little ones in my life. Honorary nieces, nephews and godchildren…your Fairy Gothmother has something for you…

Aris Kolokontes has a gallery of wonderful monster sculptures and busts. Look at the texture he achieves here!
They appear…lifelike.
