‘My child is fine.’ Ma’am, your child’s favorite character is a monster from a piece of gothic horror media.

You know, it takes profound art and profound insight into Nature to turn out stuff like Pickman’s. Any magazine-cover hack can splash paint around wildly and call it a nightmare or a Witches’ Sabbath or a portrait of the devil, but only a great painter can make such a thing really scare or ring true. That’s because only a real artist knows the actual anatomy of the terrible or the physiology of fear—the exact sort of lines and proportions that connect up with latent instincts or hereditary memories of fright, and the proper colour contrasts and lighting effects to stir the dormant sense of strangeness. I don’t have to tell you why a Fuseli really brings a shiver while a cheap ghost-story frontispiece merely makes us laugh. There’s something those fellows catch—beyond life—that they’re able to make us catch for a second. Doré had it. Sime has it. Angarola of Chicago has it. And Pickman had it as no man ever had it before or—I hope to heaven—ever will again.

HAPPY LATE HALLOWEEN!! I got new highlighters and been in love with them! It started off as a sketch test and then it devolved into more and more details! Some other miscellaneous shots I thought were neat below the cut.

Throwback to my Pickman’s model ghoul. He’s based off of the Cabinet of Curiosities show on Netflix (by Guillermo del Toro). The well and the ghoul are hand sculpted from polymer clay. The ghoul’s hair is wool roving. The paintings are also made of clay; the bigger one is on a tiny, handmade wooden frame. The base is also made out of wood and everything is painted with acrylic paints.

He is OOAK (one of a kind) and measures approximately: 4.25 inches tall and 5 inches in circumference.

If you would like to buy him, you can do so on my Etsy shop!
