Unlucky 13 Mugs
Description: In October of 2021, Retro Supply Co. (maker of vintage-inspired digital brushes, textures, etc.) sponsored the #FrightFall drawing challenge. I took the opportunity to create images heavily inspired by classic/vintage Halloween art and decorations, but with my own twists (particularly with regard to color). This was the image I created for the prompt "Bad Luck".
Description: A funny design fitting for those who love cats! It can also be given as a birthday or Christmas gift to your best friend, relative, boyfriend or girlfriend who also love cats! This design is also fitting in time for International Cat Day (August 8th) and Halloween (October 31st)
Description: Friday the 13th is widely considered an unlucky day, combining two historically feared elements: the number 13 and the day Friday. The number 13 has long been associated with bad luck, partly because it follows the “complete” number 12 (12 months, 12 zodiac signs, 12 apostles). Friday also carried negative associations in Christian tradition, as it is believed to be the day of Jesus’ crucifixion. Over time, folklore, literature, and pop culture—especially horror films—reinforced the idea that mishaps are more likely to occur on this date. While many people treat it playfully, some still avoid travel, big decisions, or risky activities when Friday the 13th comes around. This art from 1948 even throws in a black cat for good measure!
