Finding the Humor in Horror

Fear the familiar! Fear the everyday! Fear the normal! Fear the ordinary! Do you fear? Splendid! The images seen here are an escape down the proverbial rabbit hole away from the daily torture that is the mundane into the maddening world of the imagination. Two contrasting elements coexist in a fantasy realm of horror and humor. I want our fears to be made laughable and what better place to start than by conquering the fears and nightmare figures that have plagued our childhood years? Fear is a part of life, be it clowns, horror movie icons, zombies, or even...I shudder to think it...lizards! My work takes the fears and nightmare figures of youth and makes it light, all the while respecting and paying homage to those classic icons of horror literature.
