Madame Talbot

      Another great find at Pandora's Parlor is the art of Madame Talbot. These posters are beautiful, spooky, and an all-new favorite of mine. I bought myself a whole new friend, his name is Whiskey Jack.

  To view and purchase these fantastically gothic posters, check out Madame Talbot's website here! 

Here are a few more of my favorites from the website - definitely going to have to purchase a few more of these... I not only love how intricate the designs are, but I love how each poster (especially the historical or literary ones) is detailed in accuracy and specificity. Seriously these may be my new obsession...

Madame Talbot also has a unique gallery that displays the "Poster Progress," a behind the scenes, if you will, to these amazing works of art.  

Figure of Death

Found an old sketch of our "figure of death" drawn before making the film Mercury Wine.

Billy: Some Early Sketches

Looking through a few old notes, I found some of my early sketches of Billy Butcherson's costume. I usually find myself coming up with random sketches of what I consider good ideas for Halloween costumes, Billy was certainly one of them. I will try to post some more random sketches of Halloween costumes from my notebooks, promise.
