Artist's Comments

I really wanted to get this done on halloween, but alas, Ive had a crap-load of exams these past 2 weeks...

Anywho, for those of you that didn't notice, the composition for this was majorly inspired by Flack's "Marilyn". (Look it up and you'll see what I mean...) Of course instead of Marilyn Monroe I decided to do a tribute to my favorite actor- Vincent Price. Most of the items in this drawing hold some sort of symbolism of his life. Other items are just thrown in for compositional purposes (the glass, apples, rose...)

This was done with colored pencils and micron pens. I think its 14x17in, but I can't remember. It's the same size as that peacock drawing I did a few weeks ago at any rate...

Oh and if anyone can tell me why that egg is in there, you will win a prize*

*i lied. you will not win a prize.

little did i know that such rebellion was unnecessary,
and would instead lead into another web, this one lovely.

I love it!
Is this the one you are thinking of entering into the show? If so, I think you really should. I'm pretty sure that you'd pwn all the other color pencil noobs that are going to enter.

Awesome!
He was always one of my favorite actors, I missed meeting him when I had to decline a television appearance years ago due to a miscarriage, and man I wish I had gotten to go!

My mom had his cookbook lol, there is a whole section of recipes using arsenic.

Okay, the egg...

-To crack and make into a cookie before being inspired to make Edward Scissorhands?

-He was a known art collector and more relevantly, a gourmet chef.

-In a vanitas painting, an egg could be a sign of fertility and fragility...

-something from House of Usher? Or his infamous appearance on the Muppets?

Wow, that's so awesome that you almost met him! What were you going to be doing on television anyway?

I don't own any of his cook books but I did look up a recipe of his for pork for the recipe card on the top of the picture.
