1. I am extremely happy to be married to a man as talented as my husband. He has taught me so much about colour theory, texture and composition that I am forever grateful.
2. A lot of people had some very nice compliments about my tattoo at the art show last night. I think I’m going to try to get some pictures of it this weekend to post.
3. Eshakti has opened up a world of fabulous dresses to me. I have a slight addiction and I can not wait for spring. Only downfall is they don’t accept returns from Canada.
4. Pandora, when she insists on me giving her pets melts my heart every time.
5. I really and truly love my job. I am thankful for this most days when I remember some of my previous difficult jobs.

Excuse me while I reign in my wandering thoughts and return to the reason for the post. You see Vincent came into town was because he wanted to see Gary’s artwork that he had showing at Cafe Taste. We headed over there for some amazing coffee and tea and after a nice talk with the owners, they presented Gary, Vincent and I with a small amount of mead.

It was presented in wonderful little stemmed glasses as a congratulations on Gary selling some of his art. We each took our glass, chimed them in a toast and while Vincent and I took a sip of the honey drink, Gary took his as a shot and downed it all at once.

There was a moment of silence when we all watched Gary’s face change when he realized that it was not a shot. Suddenly Gary chuckled and made some off handed remark like “I guess I better get me some class.”

We all started laughing at that point and the owners began making jokes about how next time they serve Gary mead they’ll put it in a horn so he can enjoy the flavour of it. This lead to Gary being associated with Vikings and well now you get the title….Gary drinks mead the way the Vikings did…in giant swigs!

Ok that was a bit anit-climatic but sorry people…it’s all I got and damn it I thought it was the funniest thing when I started this post.

Now, uhm, go look at the pretty picture of the Vikings!

GHOULISH GARY BRINGS BACK HALLOWEEN !

Toronto, CANADA – Halloween may be over but the monsters refuse to die! This December, Toronto will once again creep with I REMEMBER HALLOWEEN: THE ART OF GHOULISH GARY PULLIN (Saturday December 20 at the Gladstone Hotel 1214 Queen Street West, doors 8 PM). The evening will feature a celebration of original horror imagery courtesy of Rue Morgue Magazine’s legendary art director, and will also showcase a gaggle of terror tunes by DJ Tomb Dragomir and rot n’ roll music by DJ Shannon, Plus, classic horror trailers, ghastly giveaways and more. Jovanka Vuckovic, Rue Morgue Magazine’s Editor In Chief, will be Master of Ceremonies!

“For me, Halloween is never over,” says Ghoulish Gary. “As a holiday, it’s almost a religious experience for some horror fans and as a tribute to monster lover’s everywhere, I am excited to unleash my newest work.”

Ghoulish Gary Pullin has been Rue Morgue’s art director since 2001. Since that time, Gary has been the creative force behind virtually all design aspects of Rue Morgue, including the magazine, event posters, merchandise, stickers, and website. An eclectic original with his heart dipped in blood, Gary is one of the horror industry’s leading visionaries. So join us just before the Xmas holidays for a Hallowed evening of art inspired by classic horror films, maidens of the macabre and All Saints’ Day!

If you know me at all you know that I love Halloween.   Even before I met Gary, Halloween was always a huge deal for my sisters and I.  Every year we would have to think of a costume to outdo the one we had last year. I’ve been everything from a gyspsy, to a witch, a doll, a faery, a Fraggle inspired alien, and…well you get the idea.

When I met Gary and dazzled him with stories of my haunted house in Hamilton, I think he fell in love with me a little bit that night when he discovered I loved Halloween almost as much as him.  As you can suspect once Gary and I started dating and later became engaged, surrounding ourselves with all things Halloween is no longer a yearly delight.  We surround ourselves with the macabre all year long.  It has infused every part of our home from art, to bedding, knick knacks, toys, tattoos, you name it and we have it.

Despite our mutual love for Halloween, we’ve never really been a couple costume in the past years that we have attended the Rue Morgue Halloween Parties.  Instead we both kind of just do our own thing.  Except for this past Halloween.  This was the first year we dressed up as a couple and went as demons.  I think the costumes turned out quite well.  Ok I’ll admit it, I think we look awesome!

Now I know I’ve been kind of neglecting the site in the last year and half.  Photos are no longer being posted, hell posts aren’t even being posted so this is me, trying to work at changing that habit.  So, for your enjoyment I’ve uploaded my photos from Rue Morgue’s Halloween Party: The Curse of the Pharoahs.

Now I just need to figure out what I’m going to be next year…
