Sam Spratt’s Halloween Portrait Contest!
In brief: Likes and Reblogs of this image are each entries in the contest to win a portrait of you drawn by me.
In slightly less brief: To those new to this, that means that should you be the random winner, I would draw a portrait of your beautiful face (or someone’s face you care about)… as a horrifically ugly, flesh-eating, undead walker-face. It’s like winning the lottery! (except not at all like that…) That said, it is the best emotional preparation possible should you fall victim to the zombie apocalypse and run (walk slowly) across a mirror in the wreckage of your once beautiful town. (I will also draw you as anything halloween/horror themed, but the undead are a favorite).
Doing each of the following counts as an entry:

Contest closes on Sunday Oct. 28th at midnight EST
PS: Yes, that’s a drawing of The Walking Dead’s Rick Grimes as a Walker

I’m watching this right now.
My only regret is that the film wasn’t shot in Technicolor as originally planned.
A magnetic presence, an actress in total command of her craft, Norma is also at her most unguarded here. She creates sudden, mysterious excitement-gestures, movements, reactions where the dividing line between the instinct and conscious theatrical effect seems to disappear. In prison: learning of her husband’s execution, she clings to the wall of her cell as if afraid the whole world is falling away, then collapses like someone shot through the heart. On the way to the guillotine: eyes fixed on the far side of despair and her mouth tightly, proudly closed with a wan smile.

Artist Kevin Wada and his pal Max Wittert took it upon themselves to give the characters from Marvel’s X-Men a little bit of a fashion redesign. Go here to check out the entire series of beautiful illustrations by Kevin.

With over a months work into this build, Etsy member Barry Shields blasted out an amazing Star Trek / Starship Enterprise (NCC-1701-C) coffee table!
He has this beautiful trekkie beast up for sale on Etsy now for $3,100.
“This Star Trek table is made from ash, poplar and cherry wood. It took me a month to build it and 2 tries to cut the 1/4” glass the way I wanted but it turned out nicely. The glass is cut to look as though its in motion and the base was designed to portray the ship in orbit over a planet.” - Barry
