Making Halloween go off with a bang, here’s my cover art for the Popcorn Horror Halloween special.
I’ve been working with the awesome people at Popcorn Horror for about a year and a half now. They have been publishing Rock In Purgatory in each issue and it’s been great to see it out there among loads of other outstanding horror content.
I’d wanted to approach them about illustrating a magazine cover for them for a while. When I broached the subject back in early summer, I was amazed to be asked to draw a piece for the Halloween edition. Being an indie horror mag, the Halloween issue is the biggie for the year, so of course, I jumped at the chance.
I threw some ideas around and finally settled on this trick or treat piece, which is heavy on the ‘trick’. Inspired by the album cover for Unmasked by Kiss, I decided to have trick or treaters taking off their masks, only for us to disocver they really are horror icons Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger.
More radvent tomorrow, check back to see what’s next.
