          Love it! From the amazing light to the contrast between the scary creates and the endearing main characters … all of it. Lovely piece.

          Holy makerel, Justin! You hit the Halloween nail on the head with this one! Just wonderful and really captures the spirit of the season. A friend of mine was bemoaning the fact that our modern celebration has lost a lot of it’s spooky atmosphere and become more of a costume party than the fright fest it used to be. Your art here had the feeling of the original shivers associated with Halloween. I like how even the cat is picking up on the vibe that as David Crosby put it “something here ain’t exactly right.” Wonderfully evocative work! Give yourself many pats on the back.
