Spooky stuff by Kipling West



Black Jack with the Hackle Back and Picket Moon are two of my designs sold by the kind folks at Portals to the Beyond. I've been working on a tiki board for ages one day it WILL be done! Another design I did (just for fun). To see more go to the excellent Museum of Talking Boards site. And click here to see a tattoo of one of my designs. Someone sent me this a while back (thank you mystery man). I'm incredibly needle-phobic and have no tats of my own, but it's very flattering to have my art on someone else!

This is a series I did for the BlueBottle Gallery's show at Bumbershoot 2004. I wanted to make fear into a toy; maybe that way it's not so scary. Halloween Tarot (From the Package): The festive, old-time Halloween world of Kipling West conjures up all that's fun about Halloween. Let the black cat guide you on a trick-or-treat mission to find out what is lurking around the next corner in your world. [go to illustration page] A Rattle of Bones A murder of crows, a venom of spiders, a dance of demons oh wait, they didn't let me do that one. Yes, all of the monsters in the book were originally devils, but vampires are more kid friendly! Click here for pictures. Demon Dolls and Velvet Monsters A few of the monsters I've made over the years as a break from drawing:
Dreams Come True Demon Yes is a World Demon	This World is not Conclusion Demon A Group of Little Monsters
Velvet French Bulldog Forbidden Dimension This is my favorite band in the whole world. They usually only come out around Halloween, and only in Western Canada, but you can find their records in finer graveyards everywhere. Heavy metal/garage monster madness, growling and yowling, and a damn strange sense of humor; these guys have been terrifying the innocent for over 13 years. Someday the Japanese will discover them and they'll be huge! Here's a fan page: www.forbiddendimension.exophagy.com And here's the page of the madman behind it all: www.tombagley.com
