Nicki’s web blog has been delayed a bit.

Nicki’s sister Teresa was taken to the ER with pneumonia on Saturday and we spent a lot of time in the hospital and waiting rooms. She’s not out of the woods yet, and is still very critical, but she’s getting better and has Nicki looking after her- you couldn’t ask for someone better to watch over you. But, Nicki’s had to be at the hospital every night this week so she’s not had time to post anything yet.

I had my drawing supplies with me this weekend so I did a few sketch cards while testing out the hospital waiting room chairs.

Also got to do a little more painting on Saturday before our hospital trek.

Vincent in progress- airbrush on canvas.

Hopefully this weekend I’ll get a bit more work done. The show is coming up quick- October 23rd!

Speaking of coming up quick, the Haunted Web of Horrors haunted house opens tomorrow night. I got a chance to run out last night and finish up the 3-D effects I had started and touched up a few killer klowns. Also got to go through and see the rest of the haunt. There will be a few familiar scares, but there’s also lots of new things to check out this year.

Beast wishes,

Hey gang,

Back again for Pimp It Friday.

First up, since it’s October and we’re heading towards Halloween I thought I’d start with DC Comic’s DCU HALLOWEEN SPECIAL 2009!

My Bushi Tales partner Dave Beaty and Scott Clark are working on one of the stories for the holiday anthology.

It’s 80 pages of full color super horror and will be on sale October 21, 2009. Jake Black and Billy Tucci are working on stories for the book as well, and Gene Ha will be doing the cover art.

It’s going to be scary boils and ghouls, scary!

Speaking of scary, the annual Broad Avenue Art Walk is tonight. My MSCA co-horts and I will be set up at Adam Shaw’s studio, and Paula Cravens will have a photography show at West Memorials. The weather is awesome today so we should have a fantastic crowd. Last year was a blast. This event is free and open to the public and costumed attire is encouraged.

Some other October events coming up-

-Haunted Web Of Horrors haunted house opens October 8th in Memphis, TN in the Trinity Commons Shopping Center at the intersection of N. Germantown Parkway and Trinity, just down from Kroger grocery. I’ve done some 3-D painting F/X and mural work there. You might even catch me running around as Beetlejuice or as the 8′ tall klown Funny Bonz.

-The 37th Annual Pink Palace Crafts Fair, Audubon Park, Memphis October 1 – 4

-Nashville’s October Horror and Comics Show October 17&18th- guests include Chris Claremont (X-Men), Gary Friedrich (Ghost Rider), Eric Powell (The Goon), Brian O’Halloran (CLERKS), horror artist Billy Tackett, and the MSCA’s own Adam Shaw and Chad Kinkle (HARPE). (Here’s a list of other Nashville Halloween happenings.)

-Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde at Theatre Memphis October 16-November 1st.

-It’s Good To Be Bad: Monster Portraits Of Villainy art show by yours truly at Adam B. Shaw’s studio on Broad Avenue in Memphis on Friday October 23rd. (Free and open to the public- black & white or costumed attire is encouraged.)
