Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! While I know today is Halloween, it almost feels like it's over already! That's because the Paper Bicycle crew got in the spooky spirit on Saturday!

PaperBicycleHalloween

We decided to go as a gang of skeletons! No, not Cobra Kai, but close! Lindsay, Alyssa and I were joined by Adam and Jesse for a night of parties, dancing, tearing up the club and sweating... followed by more dancing in the streets!

Skeleton crew

Our outfits and make-up are 100% hand crafted and pretty stylish to boot!

We had a great time, and hope you did too! If you got gussied up, share your DIY costumes in our contest!

Daily Pattern : DIY Halloween Costume Contest!

Topic : Halloween

Happy Halloween, my friends!

Did you go out this weekend and party it up? I think Chris mentioned it before, but a bunch of us got together and made some super fun last-minute DIY skeleton costumes! I'm so excited to wear that hoodie again! I think my class might get to see it -- as I get to celebrate Halloween one more time!

Did you make your own costume and party it up this weekend? Anyone else out there do a DIY costume?
If you have some awesome pics from your outings and want to share them, send them to Chris(at)paperbicycle(dot)com (with your name) and we'll post em up!

AND -- if you end up being my favorite creeper, you'll win one of our sweet Paper Bicycle designed travel mugs ;)

Just send your costume pictures our way by Dia de los Muertos! (End of the day on November 2!)

Happy Halloween, my friends!

Daily Pattern: Decorated Skulls

Last night we went out for some Halloween fun. Everyone dressed as skeletons, and it was pretty amazing how much variation there was for what seemed like a pretty straightforward costume. I figured we'd all end up with pretty much the same look.

So today's pattern is dedicated to our group Halloween costume! Decorated skulls!

Daily Pattern: Orange You Glad to be a Zombie?

Topic: Black and Orange

It's officially that Halloween time of the year! Festive celebrations will be unavoidable this weekend, and on Monday I'll be watching Rocky Horror Picture Show while waiting for trick-or-treaters to arrive at the door (a family tradition that runs as long as I can remember).

What better time than do some nasty drawings of zombies? There's no better time, really. Mmmm, maybe my birthday, I guess, since I love drawing zombies.

Daily Pattern: Candy Corn and More

Topic: black and orange

One thing that's great about holidays is the special quality they bring to consuming certain kinds of treats. I will most certainly want eggnog in a month or so, and I will have a hard time seeing candy corn as anything more than a triangle made of corn syrup. Right now, candy corn sounds pretty tasty.

Daily Pattern: Modus Operandi

Topic: Death

Never miss an opportunity to make some Halloween patterns. I started with a handful of icons, but then figured it might be good to make some to indicate how that skull got there.

Daily Pattern: Bats

In all of the houses me or my family has lived in, I don't recall ever having problems with rats or mice. We did have rodent problems, though. At one point, we lived in a really old house that had bats in the attic. We didn't live there long.

Daily Pattern: Spooky Story

It finally feels like fall, and I'm finally in the mood to make some seasonal art. We do a lot of that kind of stuff for work, naturally–everybody likes a holiday! My latest two patterns are for the holidays. This one is kind of Halloween-y. While I was working on it I sort of made up a story as I went.
