Who is "The Halloweenist? 

It's you. It's me. It's everyone who has a year-around special feeling about this wonderful, nostalgic holiday (even though we can't always explain it to the rest of the world). So we simply relax and enjoy Halloween, and things spooky, for the other eleven months too!

That's probably why you're here now. It's certainly why I'm creating art for people like yourself throughout the year. And I guess that means we're Halloweenists too!

What's in the Newsletter, you ask?

At left, you can see a greatly reduced image of page one of a recent six-page edition.

When you receive your eCopy, which usually arrives the first week of each month, my newest painting will often be the lead-off story.

Or you might see a section called, "Work In Progress," in which I share with readers projects currently underway ... sometimes illustrated with photos, at other times with sketches or interesting details.

Occasionally I request help from readers, as, a while back, while trying to come up with titles for the spooky books I was placing on the shelves of Judgment Before The Dark Court. That request produced more than 500 of the funniest, scariest, most bizarre book titles I've ever seen. Over 50 of them wound up in the finished painting!

And then there's my occasional "Name The Painting" contest, which began because I couldn't come up with a title worthy of the haunted treehouse painting I'd just completed. Out of more than two hundred entries, "Midnight In The Treehouse Of Good And Evil" said "hello." Wow! I would never have come up with that one! It was perfect.

Winners of these contests receive a specially inscribed print, in appreciation of their invaluable creative efforts.

And there's always The Disembodied Brain Teaser Of The Month, in which you can compete for prizes as you match wits with The Haunted Studio's devilishly devious "Ghoul Board."

You'll also get a look at a commissioned spooky house painting I've recently completed. (To learn more about these, click here.)

The The Halloweenist will probably include an interesting story as well. Perhaps it will a bit of Halloween history. Or the kind of true haunted story that will send a little shiver down your spine.

I always include one or more special offerings: perhaps exclusive pre-publication pricing on a just-completed print subject, or a very special deal on a combination of prints.

WILL YOUR NAME EVER BE USED IN A BAD WAY? NEVER!

I hate spam as much as you do! Ugh!! Please be assured that my mailing list is never sold, rented, or lent to anyone at all. Ever! It's resident on my own computer; it's used only for The Haunted Studio... and sparingly at that.

And finally, should you ever decide you no longer wish to receive The Halloweenist, just click the "unsubscribe" option that's prominent on this page... and on every newsletter you receive, and it will be done!
