Where It All Began: Part 2

After that last post I decided to try and figure out the earlier concept drawing.  It's still crazy

Where it all began (sort of)

This is the second concept drawing  for the mansion

In commemoration  of the 15th anniversary of this project, I would like to present one of the earliest concept drawings of the mansion.  The first drawing( scribbled during Humanities class) was lost.  This drawing was created in late May or early June of 1996 in my 3D art class during 6th period.  It's pretty crude and insane, just a generic "haunted house" with a gargoyle water fountain off the side of the house(WTF???).  I just drew random things for this house and it would be confusing for people not in on the project.  I even threw that skeleton with a top hat from the cover of that poetry book  Nightmares by Jack Prelutsky, but you can barley see him.  I may post a few more concept pieces to get people excited about this project.

This is a surprise

Once in a while, I use the search words that lead to this blog.  Lately, "fenwrightmanor.blogspot" has appeared and I followed that search. among the search I found this:  Networked Blogs: Top 6 blogs in:  haunted house.

Not much of a Hallowe'en, but my fever didn't stop me from wearing a costume for five minutes.

Retro style Hallowe'en picture with Catherine Fenwright

This picture is from 2007 taken on a 35mm camera. I tried my best to enhance it but the end result was the photograph looking much older. If other difficulties are resolved, I will hopefully post an updated version.

Painting should not take this long (sneak peek)

These are three stages of a prototype wedding portrait of Catherine Fenwright. It is a composite of several images and it was started on July 17, 2007 and finally approved and finished in September of 2010.

Anyone Here?

It seems I have new visitors. Welcome. As it is with this time of year I am busy and have less time to work on this project. I hope to upgrade my ghosts and I will try to post a picture.

Only Ghost Stories of Course....

I am pleased to announce an extension of this blog. After receiving questions on how I built my props, I decided to start a How-To blog: The Haunted Library  I may even include Christmas projects, but that remians to be seen.
