Ha-Ha! Horror wins President’s Choice Award!

Ghoul Mourning , Maniacs!!

I’m pleased as punch, to announce that my book , “Ha-Ha! Horror” won for Best Humor Book, in the Florida Authors & Publishers Association- (FAPA) President’s Choice Awards.

This wasn’t expected by me, and the book edged out two other competing books for the Gold Medal. I told our Little Monsters that I should pose on a Wheaties box, but that reference sailed over their noggins. Ugh.

I have to give many thanks to FAPA, and my publisher-

Mystery & Horror ,LLC. Also, thank you to Gwen Mayo and Sarah Glenn!! Plus, thank you, Maniacs!!!!!!

Frankenstein ‘s Monster Watercolor Painting

#GhoulMourningManiacs!!!

I love me some Frankenstein’s Monster, especially when portrayed by Boris Karloff. In Bride of Frankenstein , the monster emerges from the burned windmill and he too, has some

burnt/singed portions on his body- hair, flesh, clothes. In some of the images, he looks even more sinister.

I decided to paint old flattop…

2014 Artvoice Best of Buffalo

#GhoulMourningManiacs!!

Artvoice best of Buffalo winnersI’m very happy and thrilled beyond belief, to announce that I won “Best Painter” in Artvoice’s Best of Buffalo 2014 awards!! I started really pursuing painting in 2012 at the behest of my friend Mike. I made it to the final 5 last year, and since then I’ve pushed myself to get to a better level of skill. Having both Lloyd Kaufman and Bill Oberst Jr. refer to you as a “Renaisance Man” will give you that kick in the ass, to do so. I will keep on doing so- there’s no sense in staying in neutral.

Being acknowledged/rewarded on any level for your passion, is such a thrill! I have to thank each and every one of you Maniacs, because I couldn’t have gotten this without you! It really means a million megatons of WOW! to me, and I can’t wait to receive the actual award and share it.

Congrats to all the nominees and my friends that won for their respective categories- some fellow Tromaville/Return to Nuke ‘Em High fiends, like Arlowe Price, Greg Hinaman , AJ Crescendo were winners- plus Daniel James!

Now… coffee and picking up the brushes…

Batgirl (Yvonne Craig) in watercolor

Ghoul Mourning, Maniacs!!

I’m a Batman fan, and decided to paint Yvonne Craig as Batgirl. Yeahhhh… that’s not too challenging, right? Wrong. Very challenging, but such a blast to do!! Hope you dig it–
