Drawlloween Artist Discovery: Mr. Walters of Nerfect Novelties

Mr. Walters paints fabulously colourful narrative artworks, which I found thanks to the Drawlloween and Mab's Drawlloween Club hashtags.

Written by Amelia Gregory

Well, Drawlloween 2016 has come to a close. Here is my "Trick 'r Treat" piece.

It's All Hallows' Day and possibly my last Drawlloween discovery is the art of Mr. Walters of Nerfect Novelties, based out of Illinois in the USA. I can’t find out much about him, and the stuff he sells on Etsy seems quite different in flavour, but I just adore his painterly narrative pictures for Halloween. I think perhaps the stuff he writes to accompany his images describes his personality somewhat, and I love the way he presents them on a sparkly background. Oh, and all his artworks are for sale at just $40 each - contact him via social media to find out how you can buy one. Wonderful!

Follow Mr. Walters on instagram, Facebook and twitter.
