Some New Acquisitions For The Vintage Halloween Gallery
Well, that's Halloween for another year, I hope you had as much fun as I did! Halloween may be finished, but here on The Monster Blog we'll still be posting about monsters and stuff right through the year. I'm also still on the look out for some great old images for the Vintage Hallowen Gallery. I've picked up a few new images recently, and finally got around to scanning them to get them ready for the gallery.
Of the batch, the one featured on the left is my particular favorite. In fact, I'd go as far as to say it's my favourite image in my little collection. It's just got something about it, something strange and magical. The pumpkins in it look really huge and unworldly piled up like they are, and the square mask on the girl is just mesmerizing as is the simple design on the pumpkin she holds. I think it would make the basis for a great painting, maybe one day I'll do one myself (I've wielded a paint brush or two in my time) as it's just the sort of subject matter that interests and appeals to me.
As well as the Queen of the pumpkins, you'll also find a couple of scary Uncle Sams and a bewitching witch. I've got my eye on a few more images and I'd love to get my hands on them. It amazes me the stuff that turns up on eBay, I get an email almost daily of the new items listed, and you can guarantee there's always something in there to get me excited. As soon as I get another new batch, I'll add them to the collection!
