SOLD! Thank you, Ethan

The new owner of my Pumpkin Patch sign is Ethan Black of Mount Juliet, Tennessee!

Ethan is quite the artist himself. He created the original scary prop designs for Nashville TV horror host, "Dr. Gangrene's Creature Feature." Take a look at that spooky, tentacled "Cthulu" cake he made for a friend's Halloween party a few years ago. It was evilly delicious!

Right now he is attending art school, learning all the ways of digital media, but still is amazing at devising creepy hand-made Halloween haunted art. Check out some of his work at YardHaunters!

Again, thank you, Ethan. May the Great Pumpkin himself rise and grant you all the candy you can eat!

Beware, the Tattie Bogle!

"Alane upon the field she stood,
The Tattie-Bogle, tall an' prood.
But certie, she wis smairt an' braw,
A bonnie lass, tho' made o' straw..."

And so begins the old Scottish poem about the singing Tattie Bogle (Scarecrow), who was at first nice to the birds but soon learned to screech them away from the farmer's fields.

I had a lot of fun creating this autumn-inspired Tattie Scarecrow. He's made of overlapping pieces of cut wood, and handpainted with many layers of acrylics. It was befitting that a proper tartan bowtie adorn his collar, with a small patch of it on his hat, whereupon two sassy crows perch. Genuine straw makes Tattie's hair and eyebrows.

Tattie was my first venture in this style of folk art painting, and I look forward to creating many more folk-art pieces in the days and years to come.
