Saw

Micron Drawing & Digital Color
5" x 7"

The other day I began thinking to myself how can I make things a little different? I came to the conclusion that maybe instead of one drawing I make a series of drawings for any particular film franchise. The first franchise I decided to focus on was Saw.

Above are just traps from the first five films, Billy and the antagonist Jigsaw.

To be perfectly honest I really do enjoy the Saw series, but at this point I haven't been able to keep up with the ever evolving story. As a pure horror film it's fun and entertaining. How the plot grows from movie to movie I couldn't tell you. There are too many constant twists and surprises to keep track of.

And to be honest, I think seeing all the traps in a sequence at the Hollywood Horror Nights' maze might have had something to do with my decision to do this.

This past Friday I attended Universal Studios' Hollywood Horror Nights in Hollywood.

I have one word to describe it, SICK!

From the moment you walk through the turnstile you're bombarded with pig faced, chainsaw wielding, psychopaths. It's extremely exhilarating. Everywhere you go there's a terrifying "scare zone" and mazes that are high in production and relentless in scares. The "terror tram" was an exercise in, well, it was an exercise. You have to trek through the Universal backlot avoiding The Strangers, Norman Bates, Michael Myers, a haunted mine shaft, and an alien war zone. Did I mention the men with chainsaws that greet you as you get let off the tram? So crazy! It was simply amazing and I recommend it to anyone that has a thing or a love for horror.

Mos def planning on going again.

*Note: Not for small children. I saw women crying on the floor and grown men being chased around the park. It's that scary.
