This is the second in my Masks series of etchings. The poem reads:

• A Halloween Wish:
  I Wish you May
  I Wish you Might
  Be the Thing
  You Wish Tonight

I’ve always thought of the Frankenstein monster as a sad creature who would have rather have been a sympathetic, loveable bunny. I think that’s true whether you look at the old movies with "the Uncanny" Boris Karloff, or you look at the original book by Mary Shelley.

If you look closely you can see Dr. Frankenstein in the picture as well . . .

Happy Halloween!

The actual spinner game rules are a work in progress, but the image of the game board I think stands on it’s own as a fun piece of Halloween art.

Briefly about the game:

• The four fortune areas are represented by the cards, the symbol of palmistry, the fortune cookie and the crystal ball. Fortune games used to be a huge Halloween thing. I wonder what happened? You can guess at what some of the fortunes would involve in the game.
• The forfeit areas include the clown (pranks), the skull & reaper (death), the reanimated frankenstein monster (reverses death) and the pumpkin (for the pumpkin seed speed toss). 
• The four favors spots are rewarded with candy or other Halloween treats (how much more "of the season" could you be!).

Happy Halloween!

Enhanced linoleum block print.

I was feeling a little silly one night and this was the result. The basic print was one evening’s work, but the computer enhanced colors took an additional day to get right.

Happy Halloween!
