Video project

An excerpt video of a piece that premiered at Marshall University and was then shown at The English Theater Berlin. I can't believe it's already been a year since we worked on this first  Lunar Stratagem production.



"I, Ca$$ie...or the end of days" A piece by Matthew Earnest, designed by William Bezek, starring Nicole Perrone, for the Lunar Stratagem. Video shot and edited by me.

Yo Ho! a Ghouls life for me!

We set sail for Ghoultide Gathering in Chelsea Michigan a few days from now. Please join us for this amazing 2 day Halloween art show.

Life size Pirate Zombie head sculpture will be available there!

Accomplishment

I had a crazy long summer time of work, work, work....when all I wanted to do was beach, beach, beach. I managed to get just a little beach time and a lot of scenic & costume design of a stage play / filming & editing video of said play, aaaand get all of my Halloween art done for the upcoming shows, I leave for my first at 6am tomorrow.
I had a great time working on this production with very smart and fun people.
This is a trailer I shot and edited, starring my three favorite antiquated ghosts...

La Catrina Espiritu

Heads will roll

I said a few times that I don't do blood and gore in my Halloween art, it's really very boring and uninspired. My personal exception is the French Revolution...I think it's fascinating. And it's history, so you could never call it gratuitous.

I have made a few guillotines for sale, they are an impressive 38" tall.
Paired with a few of my freshly cut royal heads, they would make a fantastic centerpiece on your Halloween dining table. Or how about a head at each place setting with the guillotine surrounded with blood red flowers?

If our own government (and Wall Street too) doesn't shape up, we may see this dreadful machine used again!
Sweet dreams kiddies.

A curious thing happened...

             When Van Helsing killed that vampire in the middle of the pumpkin patch and his ancient blood trickled down to those thirsty roots, a new hybrid was made!
4"x7" sculpture, wood coffin, paperclay head, spun cotton body.

La Catrina Marigold

Another Day of the Dead Catrina. A one of a kind art doll standing 27" tall. Hand sculpted head, human hair wig, paper and fabric flowers, real earrings.

My oh my, Baby's got back in her Edwardian bustle!

The Keepers of Halloween

More sculptures with dioramas behind glass. This witch is 34" tall and is made with vintage Halloween pieces.

The Halloween Goblin is also a large figure seated and holding vintage noise makers.
It felt a little destructive to cut holes in these antique doll torsos so I left their natural patina as is trying not to disturb them any more than I had, that is why my added sculpted faces are heavily antiqued, scuffed, even cracked.

A witch with haunting music in her soul. 

What we keep inside...

An unusual collection of antique composition doll torsos led to a new idea for my latest Halloween sculptures.

We all have little secrets that we keep inside. These small dioramas I have made are their stories, sealed within behind glass.
