Halloween has long been my favorite holiday. As a child, you get excited about the transformation of donning a disguise and romping through the neighborhood with your friends before coming home at a reasonable hour with a good stash of candy. You grow, and the Bacchanal becomes more adult. The costume element is still there, but you drink and mingle, and all the while there is still this sense of the night and the darker, more obscure elements.

I'm to understand that the modern aesthetic is mostly American, even if the themes and the date itself are much older. November 1st is the latter bookend of the traditional harvest season in Western Europe, the start of which is August 1st. The academic Miranda Green also says that November 1st was primarily an event relating to livestock, as opposed to agriculture: it was the time in Scotland where you brought your herds to winter pasture, and this involved the killing of the old and feeble animals that were not expected to make it to next spring. Essentially it's a time of taking stock, and deciding what gets preserved for the year to come and what gets sacrificed. This general logic is consistent with the idea of Samhain being the "Celtic New Year".

I think about these themes a lot, and so, October for me is not just a time for fall-themed fun and to binge watch horror movies, I get very philosophical about it.

Today, I took a long stroll through the cemetery. I watched wild turkeys plod through the shadows of Civil War memorials and thought about the nature of "sacrifice". I think about the things and people I've let go of, and of the things and people I've held on to, and try to divine some logic to my own patterns of behavior. Did I even build up enough in my own life that such a culling is justified? Or, is the sacrifice I ought to make one of time and energy so that, by next year, I can appraise myself as having lived deeper and more meaningful?

I came across a song that embodies some of the things I've been feeling recently. It's not explicitly a Halloween song, but it has a macabre playfulness that definitely fits with the season. Give it a listen; maybe you'll find it amusing. And feel free to comment your own thoughts. 🎃💀

As it's October, I feel like my Picarto streams should reflect the vibe of the season. But, I'm not sure what I want to draw tonight. It's gotta either be something either goblin-related, or featuring some horror franchise. Right now, it's a toss-up between the clown girl from the Terrifier movies, or "Trizi", Flick-the-Theif's character.

If you have any suggestions for streams this month, comment below!

1000 followers feels like it's right around the corner, and I need to decide on an idea for a YCH raffle.

Some ideas I've had (these are all nsfw):
- pirates fighting off a long-tentacled and lusty kraken
- Christmas party! (only animals that live in cold areas? Polar bears, seals, elk, etc)
- Equine medical professionals in a group therapy session treating canines suffering with symptoms of extreme heat (equine and canine characters only)
- a queen and her royal bodyguards
- raiders and some horny villagers they have tied up and taken as plunder

Comment if you like any of these ideas, or if you have different ones you think would be good!

As I look at the calendar, I see that as of this past Sunday, it has been a year since I pulled raffle winners for the "Circle of Hell" ych.
So, what happened? You ask. The short answer is, I am still working on it, and I anticipate getting it done by the end of October.

Without going into too much detail, my timeline for an image with this many characters was over-ambitious, and I burnt myself out pretty bad. Then, commissions started coming in, and if I'm honest, those took precedence. My thinking was that, if I hastened to finish the YCH before taking on any other work, I would burn myself out even more and subconsciously start half-assing it. So, instead, I just worked on it in chunks here and there. You may have even spotted it during Picarto streams. I also delayed any future raffles until it was finished.

I do feel very bad about fumbling this one, and think I owe an apology to people who have been waiting for it.
Now that we're again at the doorstep of spooky season, I may post the WIP later today, and then post to completed image later in October.

Thanks again for everyone's patience; I do appreciate it.

PS, if you were one of the raffle winners and feel like sounding off in the comments, it would help save me some trouble in digging through my old notes in order to tag people in the final.

I've been trying to get back into a regular streaming schedule, but I've felt sick all day, so I'm not going to push it today.
I will also be out of town for a wedding this weekend, so will not be doing my normal Friday stream.

I'm going to try to get back into the routine of Wednesday and Friday art streams, roughly between 6 and 9pm est.
If you haven't already, you can follow me on Picarto and get notifications when I'm go live!
