365 Project Day 19 and more...

Today's 365 image is my rendering of Ghoulia Yelps from the Monster High series. In this picture Ghoulia is day dreaming about eating brains by scooping them out of her victim's skull with a spoon like a bowl of cereal. I think it's funny that this character is a zombie and is also supposed to be the smartest in Monster High... get it, a "brainy" zombie? har har har...

I drew her today because I purchased my very own Ghoulia doll! She has been very hard to find of late and now that more stores are carrying her she is selling out quickly. I was lucky enough to get my hands on one for a friend's daughter and one for myself :)

With my recent up close experience with a wild owl, I'm also loving that Ghoulia comes with her own pet owl. Monster High dolls have been a recent obesession and my latest collection. The little 1 minute 40 second cartoons on the Monster High website also highly amuse me. Mattel had me with their creation of Draculaura, a vegan vampire who enjoys baking cupcakes and has pink streaks in her hair. It was almost as if the doll was marketed to me!

Anywho, I wish they would have had such spooky fun dolls when I was little, but then I wouldn't have had all the fun I had painting Barbie's nails black, giving her black lipstick, tattoos and piercing her nose :)

Stay Spooky,
