New Work on EHAG Emporium

This figure measures 14.5” x 6” x 6.5”
The head is made of paper mache and sits on top of a wooden base decorated with a hand-painted torso of the little figure hugging his beloved Pumpkin doll and treat bucket. The head is independent from the base allowing
for it to be tipped and positioned as the mood suits you.


This is not the first piece I have created using a wood base as a painting surface on which to paint the torso, but it is one of the more unusual pieces in the Monkey-Cats’ 2010 collection.

Also unique to this piece is the button shaped nose of the pumpkin head.

This piece will come fully signed, numbered and dated.
“I Love My Pumpkin Doll” will be available to the first customer to email me at: monkeycatsstudio@charter.net.

SOLD...thank you!!!

As always, thank you for your consideration!

EHAG Emporium July Giveaway and "Sir Batty Bones"

Busy in the studio today so this will be quick. First, you need to go over to the EHAG Emporium and check out the July giveaway. One person will win all three works of art from Chris Klingler, Sheila Bentley and Allen Cunningham...that's right, all three!!!

The drawing is on July 30, so scurry on over to the EHAG Emporium now!


Secondly, I wanted to share "Sir Batty Bones" of Covington, with you. Sir Batty Bones was an ace flyer before we knew about airplanes....that's right, witches aren't the only ones that belong to flying corps. Sir Batty Bones could handle a broom with the best of them and was highly awarded with the "Order of the Bat" medal, which he proudly wears on formal occasions. So adept was he in flight that the bats would join him in aerial formations and fill the night sky with wings aflutter.

In his youth it was said he and his band of bats could scare with the best of them. Many a boy and girl had their hair raised (literally) by Sir Batty Bones' corps on Halloween night, as they loved to swoop down on the trick or treaters grabbing children's pigtails and ponytails hoping for a dropped piece of candy.

Sir Batty Bones still flies, he just leaves the mischief up to his proteges now....or so he says. He still looks like he has plenty of playful tricks running through that empty space in his head!

Hope you like him!

Sneak Peek #3

Here is sneak peek number three of "Serg". He has a little pumpkin buddy painted on his bucket and you can see his spindly little fingers. If you look closely at his arm and fingers you can see how they were painted to resemble the bark on vines.


This piece and other Halloween goodies will be available Wednesday night at 9 pm, ET, on the EHAG Emporium!!
