Description:
Torn from my artist’s sketch book: an original pencil on paper study for the painting “The Mummy’s Mai-Tai”.
Following the first four classic monsters:

The Werewolf, the Creature, Dracula, Frankenstein, ...here finally is the design of monster number five (5) for the on going series very popular “Monsters on Vacation” series.
I am placing the low-brow spot-light of my weird-o character driven art style on the mummified Egyptian high-priest "Im-Ho-Tep" !

That's right: THE MUMMY!

  • inspired by the brilliant portrayal by Boris Karloff in 1933.

    Monsters Boris Karloff played the Frankenstein's monster, the Mummy, Dr. Frankenstein, and a bunch of other scary guys that I can't remember right now!! ( WOW! )

    “The Mummy’s Mai-Tai” painting is about that love for the Universal horror films that so heavily influenced my childhood, and continues to be part of my particular flavor of Tiki-Culture art ! ( GOSH! )

    As a small boy, my week revolved around Saturday morning cartoons, plus Saturday Night (when I got to stay up and watch ) "CREATURE FEATURE"
    In glorious black & white, with the horror host Dr, Sanguinary!
    “I watched in gleeful terror as Boris Karloff was buried alive for 3700 years, ...til the tomb was opened, the seal broken, ...and the Mummy came to LIFE to fulfill it’s dreadful mission!”


“I also remember the Midway at the Nebraska State Fair an’ trying to win these silly-looking inflatable monsters. I had them all in one form or another. As a kid, my room looked like a miniature Madame Tussauds wax museum chamber of horrors. With these paintings I suppose I’m still perfecting my own ultimate collection of monsters.”
