WATCH (& DRAW) IN HORROR!

I know I've been SUPER silent on my page, but as mentioned in the post before this one, I'm active & post regularly on my Patreon page. Please check it out if you haven't already & consider going my Art Family there!
That being said, I had to share this post with you to hopefully get it in front of more eyeballs for the upcoming Holiday season...:

October is just a few weeks away!!! Can you believe it?! It's almost here already & we're currently thick in the best part of October/Halloween...the BUILD UP!

I'm sure the majority of you know about a little thing called "Inktober" during October. It's basically a sketch challenge which was created back in 2009 where you draw something every day of the spooky month by following a certain word or theme. A few of you have joined me in this challenge the past few years & it's a wonderful way to stay active creatively while also enjoy the Holiday season! I've decided to be a little ambitious this year & create my own "Inktober Challenge" & I really hope you ALL will join me in this!

The regular Inktober list contains words like "Spell", "Creepy", "Spider"...things like that which can conjure up a broad array of images & leaves a lot of fun possibilities for the artists. I've decided to be more specific with my selections & am going simply with genre movies we all love & usually revisit this time of year.
 The actual challenge to my "WATCH (& DRAW) IN HORROR" list is to watch those movies on the days listed & draw anything from those films! I know it's nearly impossible to consistently watch AND draw these films everyday, but I know we can at least SKETCH something from the list everyday! So that's the challenge! We'll be kicking off the first of October with Hitchcock's classic, PSYCHO & ending the perfect month with my favorite & yearly tradition on Halloween, TRICK 'R TREAT. I really hope that some of you will attempt this challenge & please certainly don't feel pressured to do it everyday! I know how overwhelming that can be.. Pick a few of your favorites or just sketch whenever inspiration hits! If you're already committed to another Inktober list out there, no worries!...do it! I just wanted to provide another option to hopefully inspire horror fiends like us! :)

Please feel free to save the above image of the list & share it whenever & wherever you want! Please always include the official hashtag #DrawInHorror with all posts though, so we can see ALL the submissions! I'm really looking forward to seeing (& sharing) your art for this!!

I plan on doing most of these sketches LIVE during my Live Art Streams on Patreon. So if you're interested in joining me during these streams to chat & even draw along, please visit my Patreon page & join the amazing, growing art community there!

I'm on Patreon, friends!

Yep, I made the jump to Patreon with the recommendation & guidance of a few friends. If you're unfamiliar with Patreon, it's a membership platform that provides business tools for creators like me to run a subscription content service. It's also a way for me to build relationships & provide exclusive art & experiences for my subscribers there, or "patrons" as they're called on Patreon.

So yeah, I'll be most active there from here on out posting regularly & interacting with all my patrons daily.  I can share everything I'm offering on my Patreon page here, but it would be easier for you to simply head to my page & check it out. I have a lot of tiers & subscription levels which offer different things from process videos, live art streams & original art. Again, go check it out & I would TRULY love your support on this adventure. ALL my patrons will be included in almost everything I create from here on out which is super exciting for me to build an "Art Family" there.

Here's my awkward Patreon intro/info video I did as well with a few focal points:

Thank you so much for reading this & even considering pledging to a freelance artist like myself. I really hope to see you over there where we can hang out virtually a lot more! You rock & I love you!

xo,

VICTOR CROWLEY IS UNLEASHED!

TODAY (Feb. 6, 2018) marks the worldwide release of VICTOR CROWLEY, Adam Green's FOURTH installment in the HATCHET series on VOD, DVD & Blu-ray! I was lucky enough to design & illustrate the official poster for Adam's DISMEMBER AMERICA TOUR 2017 where he took his film to over 30 cities late last year. Now, I'm offering this exclusive print to YOU, the Hatchet Army, in even MORE limited fashion!

This 16" x 20", full color, lithograph print is printed using archival inks & comes with a 2" HAND DRAWN "CROWLEY" seal LIMITED TO ONLY 10!

Each one-of-a-kind seal is carefully adhered to the print in the lower right corner & hand signed by me in silver. All TEN prints will have it's own unique, illustrated seal featuring a portrait of Victor Crowley, so they will all be different. Sorry, no requests for the original art.

Grab one before they're gone FOREVER at codyschibi.bigcartel.com!

THEN, head to ArieScope.com & pick up the DVD/Blu of VICTOR CROWLEY along with other HATCHET goodies...

& finally....STAY OUT OF THE SWAMP!!!

VD cards?!?!

Valentine’s Day cards?!...GROSS!

I know, I know....this ridiculous "Holiday" that's only about marketing & making money is a silly one...I know. But if you ARE going to get something special for that special someone, why not some silly art?! I'm offering five of my "lovely" designs in high quality, 5"x7" greeting card format to "WOW" the one(s) you love. 

They are ALL blank inside with plenty of room to write that sappy poem. 

They ALL come in a "1980's Sexy Saxophone Red" envelope to further show your love. 

They ALL come signed by me w/ love in true Hallmark fashion on the back.

Designs include:

XenAMOUR - nothing shows LOVE more than two aliens swapping acid! 

Lovesick - rainbow vomit makes EVERYONE happy the studies show. 

evilove - giant, horned creatures being shy behind a cyclops heart?...THAT shows love. 

Ugly Love - Hey...sometimes it's ugly. This heart-thing is a physical form of that. 

Birdman Loves You - adorable, cute & colorful...just like the way love makes you feel.

All sold separately or as a complete set. Head to codyschibi.bigcartel.com

Thanks, friends & oh yeah.... I LOVE YOU!!
