mummy awakes
dungeon ghost chasing princess
haunted house couple

The oldest image in this collection is 'The mummy awakes' and was painted in march 2009.'Haunted house couple' was done in june 2010, followed closely by 'dungeon ghost chasing princess' in july 2010. Each one is of course very cheesy. The mummy one was actually a redone version of one done back in the mid1990s. It was then done again in acrylic paint in the late 1990s, so this is the third version,so far. The perspective in the 'house' one is completely cheated!

mummy awakes
This 'tongue in cheek' horror illustration shows two archaeologists studying an egyptian tomb. One of them has been reading an ancient scroll which was a curse. A mummy has now appeared in the shadows at the back of the tomb.
Most of the ilumination is generated from the lamp that is held in the center of the painting. The light is just starting to fall on to the ancient Egyptian mummy. The design of the characters are slightly stylized. Painted in 2009.
