I only had 2 hours to paint this bad boy, so enjoy! I feel like I was late to the Ghostbusters party when I was younger, and I might have seen their cameo in Casper before I ever saw the actual movie. Better late than never!

This was heavily inspired by a painting by Dan Mumford. Mine pales in comparison, but hey, two hours! I wanted to incorporate more original adaptations on his work, but c'est la vie.

The fact that I never painted or edited my hair to be brown really gives this whole look Joker/Slappy crossover vibes. Woops.😅 I guess I'm taking a page out of Sarah McGonagall's book and using my hair color anyways.

I read SO MUCH R. L. Stine as a kid - way beyond Goosebumps. I remember Fear Street pretty decently as well, and a couple of his short story collections. I think all the books I read both gave me a lot of my fears and also helped me overcome them. It's like that Homer Simpson quote - Goosebumps! "the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems."

But even still, I never really got over my fear of the dark, clowns, or any doll-like creature until at least halfway into my twenties. So thanks for that, R.L. Stine. 😂

(also, fun fact, but much like that story he wrote in the Nightmare Hour, I too went from being utterly terrified of clowns to becoming one - though not the kind that hurts anyone)

Hello tumblr I am back

Body painted Sterling Archer on myself today. The only photoshop I did was change my eyes to blue and blacked out the closet in the background of the first picture.
