@uncleagonist told me about a fun little exhibit, Beautiful Monsters, coming up at a local independent theater, the Frida Cinema; so I figured I’d enter. Not sure I’ll be accepted, but in the least, it gave me another art prompt for the week. I’m a fan of Guillermo del Toro so how could I not enter. I had this idea of doing a stretching portrait similar to those in the haunted mansion at Disneyland. So, here’s what I’m entering on Friday. I’m also attempting to make a mock up of the portrait action, just to show how the artwork would be displayed in a stretching frame. The frame would start with just Eliza eating her bag lunch. Then as the portrait stretches, you’d see the creature’s hand reaching for the egg until it’s fully extended and reveals the whole creature. I’ve also had it printed so that if you shine a blacklight on the creature, his stripes glow blue, kind of like in the movie. The artwork will be for sale with profits going to the theater. Whether I make it in or not, I can’t wait to see what others are doing. Regardless, Pick me, pick me, pick me!!! . . . #disney+ #disneyland #hauntedmansion #theshapeofwater #hellboy #creaturefromtheblacklagoon #stretchingportraits #paulfreis #halloween @thefridacinema #guillermodeltoro #beautyandthebeast #forbiddenlove #moviefan #moviefanart #theshapeofwatermovie #theshapeofwaterfanart #crimsonpeak #panslabyrinth #pacificrim #nightmarealley #characterart #characterillustration #amphibianman #horror #horrormovies @realgdt https://www.instagram.com/p/CixPA6IL432/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
