HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2023 CRAZIES!!! BEWARE THE GREGARIOUS GOURD!!!

 

We've reached it CRAZIES!!!  We've reached Halloween!  Well, almost.  Still got six days to go.  But that's close enough!  The Gregarious Gourd is certainly ready for it!  What's that?  You've never heard of the Gregarious Gourd?!?  Well boy are you in luck, because I happen to be an expert, and there's still time to prepare!  Nobody knows where he came from or the method behind his madness, but every Halloween, the Gregarious Gourd visits numerous pumpkin patches, searching out those who have summoned him and rewarding those who've brought him an offering, even a simple one.  However, those who foolishly summon him empty-handed are punished by a bombardment of tricks worse than any fraternity initiation! The Gregarious Gourd's time is precious, and takes his job seriously.  So be prepared if you want to summon him!

Okay, now that story time is over, it's time to get to this week's art!  Not quite as pretty as the piece above, but in 2017, I didn't know how to use colored pencils properly, so cut me some slack!  Anyway, here's the finale for October!  Enjoy...

Kamaji has many responsibilities in the film Spirited Away, but in his off time, he just wants to relax and jam on some consoles!  Three at once is certainly impressive and he's also a master at trolling ten-year-olds on Twitch!  Another entry from Animal Alphabets, this one was a lot of fun to draw.  Lots of odd shapes, twists and poses which I'm always down for!  Certainly helps that the movie is loaded with bizarre and imaginative characters that practically scream for fan art to one made!

That's a wrap on October 2023 CRAZIES!!!  Another month that seems to have blown through quicker than the Santa Ana winds, but never fear!  We got more fun starting next week as that wily old trickster, Tom Turkey, makes his return for even more battles with those dastardly, but less-than-bright Brat Twins!  The countdown to Turkey Day starts in seven days, so be sure to come back and check it out!  Until then take care, stay safe and watch out for the little ones on Halloween night.  It's gonna be dark out and some costumes stand out better than others, so always be careful.  Catch y'all later!

WAFTING WHILE YOU WORK!!!

Greetings and salutations dear CRAZIES!  We are midway through October already and inching closer to Halloween!  Some movie magic seemed to be in order for today, and it don't get much more magical than the world of Hayao Miyazaki's beloved film Spirited Away!  So sit back and take a CRAZY look at one of the film's most memorable characters!  Enjoy...

Few people realize that animated stars can get typecast too.  When you possess a fluttering and tube-like frame such as No-Face's, there's just not a whole lot of acting work to be gained.  And rather than wait for Spirited Away 2 to be made, No-Face simply went to the used car lot and got a job as a Wacky Waving Inflatable Salesman Sign!  Hey, work is work and it's cheaper than a billboard!  This was another entry for Animal Alphabets who earlier this year did a Horror Monsters theme.  No-Face represented the letter N and I just couldn't resist being silly with it!  He doesn't even need a fan to perform his primary function!

That's all for now folks.  Got a very special post next week as a couple of old pals will be stopping by to yank some laughs out of the crevices of boredom, so be sure to stop by and check it out!  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!
