Digital illustration of the heroic goose from Untitled Goose Game. Goose is all white with orange feet and beak and everything is rendered in flat simple shapes. Goose is standing next to a stream with greenery and blue sky behind, proudly holding the coveted shiny bell in his beak. Handwritten lettering in the sky reads ‘Maybe it will happen today.’

A photo of a huge 100+ pound cabbage. The main head is a bit right if center and there’s lots of cabbage fronds fanning out all around it. The head as seen in this photo definitely appears to have a mouth slightly reminiscent of Audrey II, the carnivorous alien plant from Little Shop of Horrors.

A digital illustration done in black and white graphite style. Toshiro Mifune as his unnamed ronin character in Yojimbo. With both swords prominently on view in his belt, he has his arms pulled inside of his black kimono with one hand coming up through the collar to stroke his chin as he gives some sharp side eye to the right, scheming. In a text box in the upper right corner is what I sincerely hope is an accurate Japanese translation of ‘maybe it will happen today’.

Haunt Dog! Digital illustration of the components of a Chicago-style hot dog floating above a pentagram with candles lit at each star point. The bun has manifested a sharp-toothed mouth and hideous long tongue. Rising just above is the Weiner which now has furious, demonic eyes and improbable angry eyebrows made of yellow mustard, and an ectoplasm of relish rising off its center. Behind is a pickle spear with a toothed mouth. Floating above all that are two devilish tomato slices with horns and tails and two evil bat-like sport peppers flapping around.  Behind it all, rising from the flames of the candles is a demonic apparition with horns and hands raised, seemingly the evil being animating it all. And wrapped around the bottom of the pentagram are the words in raggedy spooky lettering: Haunt Dog.

💀 DOL GULDUR 💀 For Tolktober days 1, 2 & 3. #Tolktober #Tolktober26 Moon | Forest | Necromancer
Illustration of Dol Guldur from the Hobbit by JRR Tolkie. An evil hill-top fortress vignetted by twisted, leafless trees. The fortress overlooks a forest canopy with black butterflies above it. In the distance is a lonely mountain, an even further mountain range and behind a gap a volcano.

A stone staircase leads up to the fortress door which is glowing from the inside. Cruel windows resemble spider eyes and fangs. Two turrets with crenelations that look like raised hands. One of the crenelations is broken off. On top is a henge of 5 stones with 4 shadowy figures between them. An altar in the centre of the 9 shapes. A crescent, ringlike moon is eclipsing the central stone.
There are 9 stars in the red sky.

Hidden in the top branches are the words Dol Guldur.

Colour combination of red and teal overlapping risograph style.

Did you know that the name Dol Guldur is not used in the Hobbit but is mentioned in the Lord of the Rings as a dwelling place of Shelob's brood.

A red pentagram over which is floating a tangle of antler like shapes. Under the pentagram are two black goats rearing up to follow the curve of the circle. They appear to be conjoined at the rear quarters and each has a red flame floating above its head. Entwined around the goats' legs is a red flowing banner on which is written the words 'HAIL SATAN'

Pen and watercolor 

Cowboys again. This time one of our boys has lost his boots. Standing in a field of long grass the cowboy points towards the ground and shouts back to his colleague, “Lil bone people got muh boots.” This makes no sense to the other cowboy who sits atop his horse away from the action. He responds, “Lil wut?” Sure enough in the foreground we see a squad of little bone people scampering through the grass with the stolen cowboy boots. They’re thrilled. How the bone people got the boots off the cowboy is unclear.

Artist’s note: I tend to draw drawings from the same perspective (straight on) most of the time. This idea came about when I was goofin around trying to draw a character from a lower angle. I like that the story unfolds with the foreground, mid-ground, and background all working together. There’s a draft of this one included in the Spooky Pants book. Coming out next week!

The auto sales company Carfax having never (to my knowledge) done Dracula-based advertising is is a serious misstep. It would work on at least a dozen people who know too much about Dracula, including me, a person who will never buy a car.

Edward Gorey designed the sets for the play, and while they didn’t have film sets that looked like Gorey drawings it was very easy to imagine them being drawn as such. Carfax Abbey especially was maximally gothic and creepy. This is one worth watching.

Finally getting to a gap in my Dracula studies, the 1979 version with Frank Langella in the title role. Based on a stage production he also headlined in. Spoilers: it kind of rules!
Tight shot on Frank Langella’s face and surprisingly large hair as he says the signature line ‘I am Count Dracula’. And everyone cheers.
