I don’t do Halloween, on principle. I am horrified to read that this year $370 MILLION will be spent on costumes for pets. [please don’t even consider it – send a tenner to Battersea Dogs Home instead. Thankyou]
Check out the stunning video on the BBC Website [here] and look at these pictures- his new one-man show opens in London tomorrow,featuring paper sculptures based on iconic houses in Horror Films.
One sheet of A4 paper, a scalpel, a ruler, and no glue! Wow!
Now I’m busy thinking about nativity scenes – stable, shepherds, star, Saviour... I have a book called “The First Christmas” by Jan Pienkowski [all the illustrations are based on paper cuts] and I am wondering if JP’s art can be re-interpreted in 3D H-G style?
I just don't get Halloween at all. Do not understand how the US goes crazy over it. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWe went to France at this time last year. They don't celebrate it at all, from what I could deduce. The celebrate the next day, All Saints Day and visit their family graves and take potted flowers. It's a sort of 'go home' pilgrimage and I think that's far more fitting than the ghoulish Halloween which is just another pitiful excuse for sales and marketing.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more, Froogs!
DeleteI have been to one of those houses!
