13 Days of Krampus: We’re Waiting Up for You…

I hate the song Baby It’s Cold Outside… so I reworked the lyrics. Now it’s being serenaded to you by two overly insistent chipmunk’d Vampire Bats in the Blood Crypt. Enjoy and have a drink!
You really should stay (We’ve waited up for you)
You can’t go away (We’ve waited up for you)
This evening has been… (So happy that you stopped in)
…So terrified… (Don’t run or scream; enjoy the ride)
We welcome you to the Blood Crypt (The vampires are “The Shit”)
Only one little sip and you’ll see (We wanted to invite you to tea)
So please stay and don’t you scurry (There isn’t any cause to hurry)
Just stay and have a half a drink more (Don’t let it coagulate as we pour)
The hunters may warn (We’re still waiting up for you)
Non-believers may scorn (We’re still waiting up for you)
But you’re here with us (So ignore all of the fuss)
Under our spell (Just come along it will be swell)
So please don’t say no, no, no (We’d sure hate to see you go)
Just give it a chance through and through (Eternity’s such a great view)
You really should stay (We’ve waited up for you)
We’ve waited up
We’ve waited up for you
You simply can’t go (We’ve waited up for you)
The answer is no (Cause we’ve waited up for you)
The welcome has been (We’re so glad that you stopped in)
Creepily warm (We’ve really turned on all the charm)
There’s no need to be suspicious (The drinks here are quite delicious)
There’s nobody there at the door (Don’t let it coagulate any more)
The rumors are quite malicious (Naysayers can be so vicious)
Take one little sip to be sure (It’s only a part of the lure)
This could be your home (It’s the finest dungeon here)
There’s no need to roam (There’s nothing that you should fear)
We’ve tried to be grand (So steady your trembling hand)
Why don’t you see? (We only want to set you free)
They’ll bring the pitchforks tomorrow (Think of the life long sorrow)
When they suspect that you’ve died (Foolish mortals don’t get this side)
You really should stay (Join us for the rest of time)
We’ve waited up for you
So I happened upon this very cheesecake-heavy premiere issue of Extremes of Violet, complete with pinups by some of the comic book greats of the time, and decided to make some Peeping Toms collage art by incorporating the voluptuous vixen into various crystal pieces to create a sort of fishbowl effect centered largely on her bosom (which is unavoidable).
Each of the Peeping Toms is shown from three angles because of how much the pieces shift as the light plays off the crystal. I started with these star forms.
The second bowl was even a bit iridescent, and violet at that!
Next I did a series of really perky busty bowls, which really get the feeling across that you are looking through the tiny peephole in a door as well as exemplifying the content even more. Note: these are shown in two rows with side details as well, so there are a lot of pics here…
I experimented a little and tried a couple of other scenes, like the portrait, as well. She’s staring back at the Peeping Toms…
I also tried this more square bowl form.
And finally, I found this little heart, which is my personal favorite of the group.
These works are a continuation of my Creepy Comics collage series, shown on Haunted MTL here.

So I probably should have taken a before picture, but I found a faux wood stained plaster Jesus statue and turned it into Zombie Christ. Because it’s the second second coming. Or something. It’s kind of an offshoot of my nail polish paintings reappropriating thrift store art…
Anyway without further ado, I present…
I was a little concerned that I made him too green at first, but I’m happy with the finished result. This statue just looked so anguished. It’s eyes had been closed but I like them better open and even painted them with blacklight reactive nail polish so they will stand out even more and be interactive in other ways to add creepy factor.
Sadly I don’t have a blacklight anymore or I’d share a picture that way too. Oh well. I’ll leave you with a fun detail shot instead.
Next time I may make him more gray than green though. We shall see…

So it’s been awhile since we’ve looked at some of the things I have gathered, so I thought I’d bring back my art collection for another round… Here are the first and second highlights in case you missed earlier explorations.
From left to right: M Pena Windstone Editions bat-winged flap cat, bone mask by Terry and Susan Wright, wood cat in skull by labcreature, real hair art by myself, pencil drawing of Barbarois Elder for Vampire Hunter D anime cel
From left to right: Barbarois Elder for Vampire Hunter D anime cel, Turn Me Royal portrait of my father and stepmother as Frankenstein’s monster and his bride, painted horse skull
Left to right: Overgrowth by Ellie Bradley, heart by TenderFlesh, praying devil girl by Torman’s Treasures
And a vintage plastic 2-foot Jack O Lantern I got at a yard sale and have kept on display on his very own stool in the living room since. So happy.
Anyway, there are some more highlights from my art collection, as it is always growing and evolving. I have lucked into several of these pieces at antique and thrift stores or acquired them from the artists or more. And yes, I still have Da Ting the taxidermy shih-tzu from the first of these posts.
