Halloween Carved Pumpkin Art and Ideas

Carved pumpkin and/or gourd art is among my favorites, and I always like to collect them to show to my thousands of readers.

The predator carved pumpkin below is almost as good as it gets, even if you're not a fan of the celestial bug.

The quality of the carving is amazing, and can give you ideas of ines and ways to create texture in other themes you may choose.

The evil tree pumpkin carving below is fantastic. The subtle way the eyes are made to give that evil look is very well done. Also the way the overall theme was created, with the gravestone and man hanging from the limb was thought out nicely. Great pumpkin carving.

Vomiting pumpkins are always interesting to look at. What I liked about the one below is the appearance of the suffering expressed through the eyes.

How many of us can relate to that experience?

Vampire Woman Ravens Image

Vampire Woman and Ravens

I just thought this was a fantastic image, which presumably is of a vampire woman with ravens landing on or flying around her.

The clouds, the light, and of course the woman and the ravens really work great together. I really enjoyed this image and thought you would like it too.

Face Painting of James Kuhn

Bizarre Art Trends

This fascinating work of art if from James Kuhn, who uses his own face as the canvass he works with.

The face painting you see hear is of a two-faced Dracula, of which I have no idea what the inspiration behind it is. But it is fun trying to look at his face and how the art was worked in.

Vampires will be in for some time, at least until the entire Twilight series passes through the theaters, and that will probably still be several more years before that is through.

So it's no surprise to find an increasing interest in vampires and vampire art, and this female vampire shown here is very well done to me.

Looks like she just got done feeding and someone interrupted her or wanted a piece of the action.

Good piece of vampire art.

Creepy Gothic Woman Cemetary Photo

Gothic Fashion

This is definitely a creepy looking Gothic woman, with the dark eyes looking out like she's the undead, and the graveyard as a background. It looks like she's sitting on top of a grave, either being in it and having arisen, or ready to go in. Either way, it's a pretty spooky and scary look. I like it.

Gothic Halloween Skeleton Costume

Gothic Fashion

This Gothic Halloween skeleton costume is really great, and I like everything about it. Skeleton Halloween costumes are always a fun and necessary part of any Halloween party and celebration, and this would be a truly great one to wear.

Love the pale hands and face which make the skelton costume stand out so good.

Before you tell me, yes I know it's art, but the type of Halloween skeleton costume is easy to get, and it's copying the look that I'm getting at, which would be really cool.

Halloween Carved Pumpkin | Deathstar

Halloween Carved Pumpkins

Here's a very cool carved pumpkin of the Deathstar from Star Wars. You look at it and wonder how someone can make something like this with a pumpkin.

The secret is the light areas are cut all the way through, the dark areas left alone, and the reddish areas are shaved or peeled to certain levels which give it a shaded look.

But this carved Halloween pumpkin definitely took a lot of work and commitment.

Great Horror Halloween Mask

Horror Halloween Mask

Now that Halloween's creeping up on us, it's time to show you some of the great Halloween masks out there, and I'll be putting some up off and on over the next few weeks to get you inspired and generate some ideas to get you noticed at your Halloween party.

This mask is obviously very professionally made, and really gives you the creeps when you look at it for a while.

Everything from the way the hair is on his head to the chewed up ear, and of course the best: the hanging eyeball. Go up behind someone with this and you'll see them give out a good scream or yell.

Bizarre Art | 3D Pop-out Woman

Bizarre Art

This work of art from Scot Davidson is extraordinary, and the idea of sketching a woman coming out of his sketchpad is terrific.

You're not sure if it's meant to mimic a pop-out style work or to show how a drawing or sketch can be made to come to life.

Either way, I really like how he did it, and it is really a one of a kind type of artwork that while being strange and bizarre, is also compelling and fascinating.

Really nice piece of 3D-looking art work.

Anti Rockstar Painting

I won't give you the specifics, but if you know the details behind this painting lamblasting this particular rock star, let us know in the comments section.

A lot of people may not know about this situation, but the painter pictured here depicted this star in this way because of what he did to him. Let your fellow readers know what it was.

Weird Marketing | Dark Vitamin Commercial

Weird Marketing

In this strange photo shoot from Carl W. Heindl for Vitaminsforyou, members of a band put on black masks which make them look like Zorro, or the beaked masks associated with fantasy adventure stories, or something you would see in Carnival.

I like the one that has the light seering out of the mask, making it look like some demon has possessed the wearer. It's a well done photo.

Now the obvious question is: what does this have to do with vitamins?

Bizarre Human Facial Art

Bizarre Art

This bizarre facial art from Kari Altmann dubbed 'Dreamcaptchas,' makes you wonder what it is that Kari Altmann dreams about.

what the line does is take a face and distorts, contorts and twists it into all sorts of strange, bizarre and odd art.

It takes a human face and places things like the eyes and mouth into positions they aren't supposed to be. There is also a blurred part of the art included with the heads which add some type of mystical quality to it.

Bizarre Art - Taxidermy Horrors

Bizarre Art
Talk about strange and weird, take a look at these odd taxidermy creations depicting something unknown except to the designer.

They really had a creative side, and the simple and effective additions to the original bodies of the animals and fish sure make an interesting image.

Even though it's not as weird as the fish one, I do like the bottom taxidermy photo the best.

For some reason it just seems to remind you of a cliche, even with the different head.

Bizarre Art | Celebrities as Zombies

Bizarre Art - Celebrity Zombies

There are a number of images of celebrities if they were zombies, and I've included a couple of them that you should be able to recognize.

Ok. One's obvious, but Madonna really doesn't look much different than she usually does.

But I think it's pretty cool the way they are made up and portrayed. Someone auditioning for zombie acting jobs?

Fantasy Art | Fantasy Castles

Fantasy Art Castles

You can view a ton of unique art themes and designs at Deviant ART, and a very cool one they have is with fantasy castles imagined by the artists.

I included a couple here for you to enjoy, and you can see a lot more at the web site.

Just enter 'fantasy castles' into the search form and you'll get a bunch of cool results from the site.

Some of the castles are high on a mountain top while others are floating in the air. One is even used as a background for a rider on a horse.

Either way these definitely catch the essence and mystery of castles, and give an auro of fantasy that surrounds them.

Bizarre Tattoos | The Grim Reaper

Bizarre Tattoos

Now we have the Grim Reaper starring in his own tattoo, with his harvested souls behind him looking to see who's next in line.

Also when you look down his robe, near the bottom you see more souls that aren't as easy to pick out. It's like he's in a soul harvesting mode and he's getting a whole bunch at once.

But as far as the tattoo goes, this is really well done, as many Grim Reaper tattoos surprisingly are. As an overall group, they're among the best I've seen; as far as each individual tattoo and its quality.

See a nice batch of Grim Reaper tattoos here.

Bizarre Art | Macabre Pin-up Girls

Bizarre Art

Rue Morgue's graphic designer Justin Erickson has created horror pin-up collection that is very macabre and dark, while trying to retain something of beauty in the midst of the ghoulish presentation.

Rue Morgue, for those no familiar with it, is a horror magazine with a rabid fan base of core followers.

Erickson's work almost always combines a sense of vintage mixed with monsters to create some interesting combinations.

As you can see from these photos and video, he is anything but conventional.

Richard Michaud Illustration Tribute to Ending of Resident Evil

Art Trends - Video Game Art

Now that the Resident Evil video game franchise is evidently coming to its end, illustrator and artist Richard Michaud put together a collection of images to pay tribute to the popular video gaming and film franchise.

Probably my favorite character in the series - Jill Valentine - is getting some great pics of her, and Sheva and Chris Redfield are also part of the Resident Evil art collection.

But I think we all know that if a new film came out that had a new twist to it, right behind it would be the next Resident Evil video game. But until and unless that happens, it looks like for now we won't be seeing any more new games in the franchise again.



As far as the illustrations, they are very nicely done and look great.

Extreme Tattoos | Horror Tattoos from Major Films

Extreme Tattoos

Here's an interesting sleeve tattoo of some of the more notorious film horror stars, and they're done very well by the tattoo artist.

I wish I could have seen several different views of the tattoos, as they each look like they're really cool.

But as you can see from the photo, Chuck looks very realisitic, and the tattoo designer and artists captured the evil connected to him.

Twisting Alice in Wonderland

Weird Photos

Alice in Wonderland seems to be the focus of a lot of artists and photographers who like to take the story and twist it to their interpretation or liking.

That's what has happened with the latest foray into this field, as Marcela Abal Acosta has taken Alice and turned her into a goth looking character who doesn't look at all too friendly.

This is a creative look for Alice, but this seems to be getting repetitious, and creative people maybe need some new material to work from.

But I still wonder what it is about Alice in Wonderland that makes the story such a favorite to draw material from.
