Wooooohoooo!!!

~Happy Halloween!!!

To kick things off with my maniacal Halloween plans {muuuuhahaha}, I have a super awesome guest who's going to share with us not only his experiences of Halloween's past but also his Epic artworks.

Growing up #Horror stories were much more intense than most, those of you who know the Myth of Highway Sheila might understand what I mean. 

Now watching horror movies is sort of a guilty pleasure of mine, I love it because the really good ones can make you question everything you know to be true about the world. A great example of this is the movie As Above, So Below. 

*goosebumps* if you get a chance you should watch it. 

I truly enjoy following Sean on twitter, if you're a horror fan his posts are a must see & the guy is always interactive with his followers. His art is moi impressivo & I thought this would be a great tag to introduce him you.

Meet Sean N Macabre

I'm an artist that does weird and unusual art which is heavily influenced by my nightmares, night terrors and things that just pop in my head. I'm involved in some interesting projects including artwork for the upcoming horror flick Death House which has the largest group of horror icons in one horror flick, providing artwork and inspiration for Josh Millican's monthly serial Deeper Than Hell available at MorbidlyBeautiful.com, working on a Virtual Reality homage of Night Of The Living Dead with CryptUK and some other odds and ends. 

You can connect with me on Twitter @OddNMacabre where I host nightly watch and tweet horror movie nights and I look forward to meeting you.

Meet Musiriam

She was born 6th June 1980 in Palermo (Italy). She started to draw when she was 5 years old and studied at the High school of Art for 5 years. 

In 2002, she stopped to drawing and restarted in 2013 with Assassin's Creed drawings with ball-point pen. In these 3 years she's tried such techniques as, the ball-point pen, ink, watercolors and charcoal. 

In this last year, she's also a digital artist, she started for fun, self-taught, and now she styles and works like a professional.

Musiriam loves to try new things and is keen on improving everyday.
