Missed Necronomicon Pages and Haunted Walk-Thru Video

Spooktacular XIII is complete, and we all had a blast, thank you for attending. There have been lots of folks who could not attend asking about unclaimed Neconomicon pages. Yes, some were unclaimed, so if you would still like one, they are available through the artbyjared website HERE

Also, I have been getting folks asking about the haunted walk-thru, and if there was video of it...well, the only video that survived the night was of the walk-thru during the daytime (with unfortunate narration by yours truly)

Blogger will not let me upload videos from Vimeo, so you will just have to click through the following link to see the video of the Spooktacular XIII walk-thru:

 There are more photos of the Spooktacular out there, and I'd love to see them, so please send them along!

LOST NECRONOMICON PAGES FOUND!!!

As you likely know, o faithful Art By Jared Blog reader, I have been creating pages of the Necronomicon as prizes for our annual Spooktacular Halloween party. I am pleased to say that they are complete (all 44 pages are represented below)

All pages are approximately 8"x10" and are mixed media on paper.

If you are unable to attend the event this year, you have the opportunity to purchase a page before the party. Please use this link and you will be directed to Artbyjared.com where you can use the Paypal links (some pages may have already been claimed...)

Happy Halloween!

10 NECRONOMICON PAGES AND ONE VELVET BANANA

After a bit of back-and-forth Trixie and Monkey have settled on a design that works for everybody:

 

 And I have started right away working on making the "Velvet Banana" a reality....here it is in the very early stages:

Now that the T&M backdrop has started, my energies have started focusing a tiny bit farther down the calendar. Specifically, Spooktacular XIII...in keeping with this years theme (American Horror Films) I have started working on the "giveaways" (the giveaways are artwork prizes that we have given away as rewards for the games that we devise specifically for the party...in the past they have been velvet portraits of Elvis, Villains, Christmas zombies, etc) This year I have decided to make my own NECRONOMICON! Which means that I have been making two pages every morning for the past week (10 pages complete thus far) I don't spend much more than an hour on each, and at this rate, I should be able to compete my goal of 40 by October 27. I have taken some crappy cell phone photos of them thus far just to give you an idea of what I am up to....all of them are 8"x10" on "aged" paper:

 So, you'll just have to check back in next week for more exciting chapters of the Spooktacular Necronomicon!

The other thing that happened this week was some of this silliness:
