It's Halloween Season and I love it because it's when all the people who are secretly creative shine.
I had a good friend recently introduce me to their friend during an apple picking gathering.
Part of their introduction of me was that I am very artistic and had invited friends over to take turns drawing each other as they struck poses for the group.
It's true, I love making my friends draw with me and get into their creative side, especially the ones who say they don't draw much or they're not creative.
But it is October, the month when seasonal coffees come out to sip, the month of apple picking and pumpkin carving, and most especially Halloween.
All the people who are secretly creative reveal themselves during Halloween season as people decorate their homes and make costumes for the spooky season.
The people who get super into costume makeup and replicate special effects-level face transformation, the people who construct haunted house structures in the pathways leading up to their houses, and the people who create paper mache and cardboard costumes with optical illusions reveal themselves.
Let's also highlight the people who make Halloween cookies and treats shaped like disembodied limbs as well as the people who design and sew their own costumes.
Halloween is my favorite holiday, and it's when I discover a whole other set of creatives that are hiding or saying "Oh, I don't do any art" the rest of the year.

This is an animation of a cat that I did in Photoshop and Animate. There were a few frames I didn't use, but I decided to not be too precious with it, and post it instead of extending the process. A good practice in enjoying the project and then letting go when I was at a good stage of completion.
