Boo! Tricks & Treats

Halloween is probably my favorite holiday of the year, so in celebration of all things creepy, crawly, dark, scary and mysterious... I'm going to do a sketch a day for the month of October. A personal challenge.

"Why should I care?" you ask... well you don't have to care at all, but it would make the exercise more fun if I have suggestions for subject matter. I'm not trying to get people to buy commissions or anything like that, I just want suggestions on what to draw this month. Maybe you have a character that you'd like to see me sketch from a favorite horror comic, book or movie. Classics to modern... whatever, basically (disclaimer: I don't do nudity or explicit sexual themes).

I can certainly come up with the ideas on my own if needs be, but it would be more fun to have suggestions and you may think of something that I don't. Obviously there can only be 31 sketches/panels so if there is an outpouring of suggestions they may not all be chosen (I want to keep this fun for me). Maybe I collect the sketches into a mini, maybe not... regardless, any participation is certainly appreciated.

How do you celebrate October/Halloween? Any traditions, stories, anecdotes, etc.?

Thanks!
Jewett
