Franky is Alive!!! I have been monitoring Grim’s workings of Franky, via his blog, and am very excited to see him completed, not only am I excited I am astounded at the outcome.
I remember Grim mentioned that he typically doesn’t like to create ‘classic monsters’ but luckily for us he decided to tackle the classic Frankenstein’s monster.
I can’t put my finger on what my favorite part of Franky’s parts are but I can say, his box is brilliant!
You have got to check out all of the progress pics of Frank. Clicking on the image below will take you to Franks final blog post, there are several blog posts on Frank so check those out once you jump over to Grim’s site.
There are several artists out there that have made some awesome Halloween stuff… and I’ve been too distracted to blog about them. Well I can’t take it anymore, I have to show you a few that I have seen over the last couple of weeks.
Creager Studios
First we have Creager Studios, they have posted a few things on their Ebay site you should also check out their Etsy site as well.
Here is one of the pictures of the Pumpkin Elves… Not so spooky… but very Halloweeny:
William Bezek
Next we have Mr. William Bezek. Wil has done several projects lately as well. He has even been asked by an American company to do a project that they can mass produce in China. He is a bit tossed up on what he should really do in this situation, go take a look at his blog post on the subject and vote on what you think he should do.
Meanwhile… check this pair out. Wil reproduces dead so well.. don’t you think.

Now for some art…
Dave has been cranking out the Etsy shop items lately. I seriously think he has either been possessed or he is channeling pure energy from somewhere. All I know is… I want some of that energy!!
His latest creation, which you should really go over to his Blog and his Etsy shop and see what he is doing, the latest is so far my absolutely favorite. If I had the money I would buy it, and eat Ramen for a week until I was paid again, but… I have already bought the Ramen for this week. ::: sigh :::
So why has my brain gone all pitter patter over this latest creation? Besides the fact that I’m a Raven lunatic… Dave doesn’t actually mention this to be a Raven but look at the beak baby!! Raven…yup.
Here is the story behind this here creation:
Legend says there once existed a small bird with a song so dissonant and mournful that it had the ability to wake the dead. This item was found in the bottom of an abandoned cistern during an “Urban Archeology” project. It is believed that this small bird was the sole cause of the 1804 Zombie Rebellion.
I received my book Brains vs. Coffee today. I immediately ran in the house, put the dogs out and went to go change from my work cloths. I found myself half changed standing in the kitchen chuckling as I read through the first 10 pages or so. Barks from the backyard interrupted my reading, making me rather grumpy of course. I left the book in the kitchen and went for the back door, as I strolled onto the back porch exclaiming “Your keeping me from my brain reading!” I noticed the neighbor smiling at me from his back deck. Hmmm… brains, he use to be a grade school principal and is now a general contractor… wonder if his would taste like sweet revenge from grade school trauma’s or just sawdust?
I quickly return to changing out of work cloths, pat the dogs on the head and aim for the couch with book in hand. Numerous chuckles, out right laughs and nods of acknowledgements later I finished the book. This is what I have to say…
I will admit, I’m not a coffee drinker but I am a friend of caffeine. I know its pull, calling, and it’s revenge. Brains… well I can’t live without it.
Go buy the book!! Go NOW.
I won the Grimvision’s Contest for the Skull Book Light… woooooo hoooooo, eeeep, and squeal!! I would like to thank my finger’s and toe’s for staying crossed during the waiting period and to all my little minions that would run over to Grim’s in the middle of the night and whisper ‘Pick Kim, Pick Kim, Pick Kim’ into his ear while he was sleeping.
Although they reported back to me that he tends to sleep odd hours and that he is in his workshop a lot. Which they also reported is a nice and cozy place with lots of creepy spooky things, they felt right at home.
Check out my winnings (the exact prize may look slightly different):
D.L. Marian does some awesomely wonderful macabre creations. The main focus is on one of a kind Horror and Gothic dead dolls, Props and Mannequins. Reading around on the website seems to point to the studio being in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Can’t afford to outright buy one of the dolls? No problem, layaway is an option!

Jamie makes, as her website states, Functional one of a kind Halloween art. She is a self taught artist living in Kansas with her hubby and daughter. She enjoys working with clocks, jewelry boxes and games but is always looking for unique that she can create for her ebay site or for commissioned pieces.
