I don't know if Mr. Walters defines himself as a specifically Halloween artist, but he certainly has made one hell of a contribution to that medium. He did a series called Halloween Flight, and it is so perfect at summation for this most hallowed season that I have to share it, and, when I finally beat my finances into submission (it's all about violence with me, but I embrace that, really), I'm going to get his book of this instillation. Here are a few examples of his stuff, used COMPLETELY without permission.
There is a snippet of poem for this that reads:
"Summer's path has led to winter's threshold.
Its entrance moonlit as foresaid.
Enter gravely or with revelry bold
for with you, also pass the dead."
Everything about this image is perfect for me.
"Summer's path has led to winter's threshold.
Its entrance moonlit as foresaid.
Enter gravely or with revelry bold
for with you, also pass the dead."
This is the only text in the series, and both it and the art itself reminds me heavily (in tone) of Edgar Allen Poe.
Everything about this image is perfect for me.
Head over to his website here to see the full series. While there be sure to look around at his whole site, not just this installation. He has a lot of wonderful artwork there, one of my favorites being the gigantic painting he did of the Headless Horseman.
Go! Check it out! Wallow in the coming season!
P.S: NO idea why the hell I can't get he italics to turn back off. But it's irritating the fuck out of me.

Wow that was a totally awesome series to click through. Thank you for sharing that find! I think my favorite was the last three images.
You're welcome! I love so many of them-- so many have that classic, perfect Halloween feel; I would love posters of some of these!
