NIGHTMARE IN RED (1981)
Acrylic over pastels - 25 ½” x 20”

TALES FROM THE NIGHTSIDE is a collection of macabre stories by Charles L. Grant.

I accepted a commission to do the cover art in the gloomy winter of 1980-81. There had been recent deaths in my family and among friends; the weather was bleak; John Lennon had been shot, and so on. 1/3

Angled view down on a horror montage set upon a red tinted, textured skull topped by a trio of rose blooms. Low in the immediate foreground one orbital reflects the glint of light on an eyeball. Nested low on the forehead a bat opens its maw wide in a scream. Set to the side is a tile with the number 3 and a creeping spider. Opposite rests a small stack of coins, the topmost decorated with a triangle. Smoke wafts out of a crack at the top back of the skull while tendrils of roots grow off the opposite side.

Your Familiar
My little witchy kitties will always be my favourite familiars - only a few of this print left now and still one of my best I think.

Furby

"As a kid I lost my furby at the beach, maybe one day I'll find it again..."

#Mayllennial #Mermay #DigitalArt #bodyhorror #horror #horrorart #furby #illustration #sea

Illustration depicting a very long creature with the head of a furby, one eye fully open, the other half way closed. It is in the depths of the ocean.
Its body is formed of fur and many claw like apendaged in a very long row similar to a centipide. The end of its body cannot be seen.

BOOGEYMAN (1986) Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 28" X 17"

I love doing covers for anthologies, and I especially enjoy doing covers for horror anthologies. This piece was commissioned for one of DAW Books' annual collections of The Year's Best Horror Stories. 1/3

#horror #horrorart #illustration #yearsbesthorrorstories

A tall, slender boogeyman with exaggeratedly long arms quietly slides open the closet door of a child's bedroom. Jostled hangers slide to either side as the creature emerges from behind the cover of clothing. Red dots glow like molten beads set in deep sockets. A double wrinkled ridge defines a wide brow while elfish ears knife out and back, framing a sloped dome that nearly touches the top shelf. The closet rod bars its way forward, crossing just below its round, snub nose. Salivating, its jaw hangs open in a V-shaped smile lined with short sharp teeth.

THE CRIMSON KING (2004), Oil on Panel - 28" x 18"

Interior illustration for THE DARK TOWER (Book 7) by Stephen King 1/2

#horror #horrorart #illustration #darktower #crimsonking #stephenking

A solitary figure sits atop a throne made entirely of skulls. His hands are the only features not obscured by shadow or the flowing crimson of his hooded cloak, which spills down the raised dais. Candles set on each arm of the throne melt over the inset skulls. A wisp of smoke trails from one. On the floor lie several bodies. One man died clutching his throat. A woman in a white gown lies awkwardly on one hip while her arm extends behind her where she fell. An empty chalice lies on its side.
