What: A Kid’s Halloween Art Contest
Who: Children ages 10-14
When: Now thru August 31st, 2010. The winner will be announced by September 7, 2010
Where: Online at the EHAG Facebook Page and EHAG Blog
How: Parents email an image of your little ghoul’s Halloween themed artwork to ehaagartists@hotmail.com along with the young artist’s name, age, date, contact info, title of piece and medium used.
Prize: $100 gift certificate for art supplies from the winner’s art supply store of choice.

Be as creative as possible and all artwork must be created solely by the young artist. We ask that no gore be depicted. Artwork will be judged based on originality and use of medium, and all mediums will be accepted. (All EHAG family members are excluded from participation.)

The artists of EHAG are obviously not the first generation to create Halloween art, and we certainly will not be the last. So, we decided to sponsor a kid’s art contest that both celebrates our most favorite holiday and nurtures their creative spirit! And, as we know that there must be children out there that love both art and Halloween, why not begin to encourage them today!

Good luck, and we look forward to seeing your creative Halloween art entries!

Pumpkin head Girl Creepy doll ooak Halloween art no. 2

From the item description:

“DISCLAIMER-THIS DOLL IS NOT TO BE PLAYED WITH! SHE IS FOR DISPLAY ONLY! NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER 17! SHE IS A HORROR RELATED ITEM AND IF YOU CAN’T HANDLE SCARY THINGS, THEN PLEASE DO NOT LOOK AT MY LISTING.

this doll is one of a kind. i bought a porcelain doll and then repainted her. i did not sew the clothes, i just altered them! the clothes cannot be removed .her body is cloth and she has porcelain hands, feet, and a resin pumpkin head. she is approx 16 inches tall .

the head is resin, not porcelain.

this doll is part of a series. I am going to be making several pumpkin head dolls. the heads will be from the same mold and painted similar but the clothes will be different.

this is a creepy doll with a pumpkin head. Jack o’ lantern face. hand dyed dress and bloomers. black shoes.

this doll will be signed on the body. this doll was made by me, christie or bastet2329.”

Summer’s path has led to winter’s threshold.
Its entrance moonlit as foresaid.
Enter gravely or with revelry bold
for with you, also pass the dead.

Bruce Walters’ Halloween Flight is an astonishing art series that captures the very essence of Autumn and Halloween, a series of graphite-on-paper images that exhibit a masterful command of space, motion and composition (and spookiness!).

Take the Flight HERE.

Pumpkin carving has become an artform of its own, and Stoneykins is a pumpkin carver’s dream, with hundreds of patterns, sensational pumpkin carving galleries, carving/stencil how-tos, a message board and more!

Sometimes, it’s the simplest ideas that are the best. In this case, PumpkinFlesh.com lets you upload a photo to their website, and converts that photo to a stencil which you can then carve on a pumpkin.

That’s it, but what more do you want?
