THE DOLL (1983)
Acrylic on Illustration Board - 30” x 15”

There were audible rustlings in the audience when this image came up in one of my slide shows. 1/3

A doll wearing a tattered pink dress with frilly collar hangs from a jump rope tied into a noose. It’s head is skewed to one side and its hair is slightly disheveled. One eye is missing and a fly craws on the other. Rusty barbed wire wraps around the torso as arms are tied behind. One shoe black shoe is missing. The doll is framed by broken boards. In the opening behind it, two children peer out. Their faces are rendered plastic and doll-like, disturbing in their deranged stares.

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.
