i’m jealous of marcel dzama
Ooooooooh, spooky! I have to admit, I’ve had these drawings, by Canadian artist Marcel Dzama in my bookmarks folder since August… and yes, I was waiting til Hallowe’en to post them! Creepy trees, girls in masks, and a group of bat-scouts! YES!!! Not only is his creepy subject matter perfect for today, but so are his art supplies… ink, watercolor, AND rootbeer concentrate! Now that’s my kind o’ sweet treat!
Have a safe and happy Hallowe’en tonight!!!
I would have enjoyed being a Brownie so much more if I could have worn a menacing red hood! (I’m showing my ginger cat the smoking lions in the hopes that he’ll stop licking his bum while we’re eating and adopt a more refined attitude.)

I am always impressed.
