LabyrinthCreations

So, I'm a self-taught artist (sculptor) and Halloween freak. I am always learning, making mistakes, and hopefully improving in my work. I sculpt dark, gothic and macabre figures and enjoy making dragons as well. (You might notice some faeries way back in the beginning of my gallery--not exactly my cup of tea but making them was the beginning of my education in the art doll world.)
My work can be found on my web site www.labyrinth-creations http://www.labyrinth-creations.com/welcome.htm . My work has also been featured in the book, "Vampire Art Now" by Jasmine Becket-Griffith. Some of my creations are also featured at Epilogue: Fantasy & Sci-Fi at their Best http://www.epilogue.net/cgi/database/art/list.pl?gallery=20631 . Any sculpts currently available for sale can be found in my Etsy shop.www.etsy.com/shop/Labart You also can follow me at my blog http://www.labyrinthcreations.blogspot.com/

The Halloween aspect of my artistic nature completely consumes me from August through 31 October and then some. The sculpting is neglected and I focus on making props for my little 'garage of evil' and yard haunt. This consists of corpsifying Bucky skeletons, making tombstones and so on. It is an absolute blast--scaring the S_ _ T out of people makes me very happy.
