10x10 oil on panel, black floater frame


Madeline Kahn was one of Mel Brooks’ favorite go-to female comedians and for good reason. I read that it was her idea to have her character break into the song, “Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life” after the monster makes love to her. Hilarious.


Probably my favorite Madeline Kahn role was Mrs. Montenegro in The Cheap Detective. R.I.P. Ms. Kahn

Morticia Addams

$775.00

20x11 oil on cradled coffin-shaped panel.


From original Instagram post:


These coffin shaped panels from @trekell_art_supplies are fun! And what a great way to kick off my first ever, annual Halloween themed series of paintings, with none other than the OG Morticia Addams herself, Carolyn Jones.


I asked my husband to start calling me "cara mia", but he thought I said Karmann Ghia.


Should I be mad that he didn't even ASK WHY I wanted him to start calling me Karmann Ghia?


Or! Should I be mad that he AGREED to call me a German car, because it means he was afraid to start an argument with a crazy person, who wants to be known as an odd car name?


I mean, sure ... it'd be weird if I said, from now on, I"d like to be known as Mercedes, but not nearly as weird as asking to be called Karmann Ghia, right?


I can't believe my husband thinks I'm a crazy person who wants to be called a German sports car from the 1960s!


He's in big trouble now.

Another coffin shaped panel from @trekell_art_supplies


Continuing on with my first ever, annual Halloween themed series of paintings, we have the OG Gomez Addams, played by John Astin. #JohnAstin


Find yourself a partner who loves you like Gomez loves Morticia.


I keep telling my husband he can treat me like Gomez treats his wife .. I'd be totally fine with that ... and since "it's better to give than to receive" ... It's like I'm doing him a favor. Can you believe how friggin' selfless I am?! 😇


(You're welcome, hon).

Doctor Frankenstein

$0.00

Sold out

10x10 oil on panel, black floater frame


You might think it odd, that I’m posting an ostensibly Halloween-themed painting during December, and I’d wholeheartedly agree with you, if I didn’t know that today is the 47th anniversary of the release of the movie “Young Frankenstein”! Forty-seven years ago today would be: December 15th 1974. I saved you from doing the math, because it’s the holidays, and I help where I can.


(Plus, I find soup kitchens to be depressing, so this contribution seemed more up my alley).

Incontheivable

$0.00

Sold out

6x6 oil on panel, black floater frame


Always be yourself. Unless you can be an evil Sicilian mastermind with an impressive lisp. Then be an evil Sicilian mastermind with an impressive lisp. His battle of wits with Westley is one of the funniest scenes in “The Princess Bride” …


And I quote … “Ha ha, you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous of which is ‘never get involved in a land war in Asia’, but only slightly less well-known is this: Never go in against a Sicilian when DEATH is on the line.”


Even thirty some odd years later, if you say the word “inconceivable”, with a lisp (incontheivable), everyone will know what movie you are referring to. Memorable quotes are comedy gold.

As You Wish

6x6 oil on panel, black floater frame


Find yourself a partner who says, “As You Wish” whenever you ask them to do something. 

With the movie “The Princess Bride” we finally had a Princess who wasn’t looking to marry a Prince (Humperdink). She wanted to marry the bad boy. And not just any bad boy. A pirate! I like her style.

Lieutenant Uhura

$0.00

Sold out

6x6 oil on panel, black floater frame


Lieutenant Uhura … originally played by Nichelle Nichols, who Wiki says "… was an important part of the original series' multicultural crew and one of the first black characters to be portrayed in a non-menial role on an American television series."


I’m not sure non-menial means what they think it means. Answering space calls hardly seems like a stimulating occupation. Nichelle Nichols herself, often recounts the story about how she almost quit Star Trek for that very reason, until Dr. Martin Luther King told her, “Nichelle, whether you like it or not, you have become a symbol. If you leave, they can replace you with a blonde-haired white girl, and it will be like you were never there. What you’ve accomplished, for all of us, will only be real if you stay.”


I’m so glad she stayed as part of the original cast. And also glad that the writers have turned this character into a more equal member of the crew in later Star Trek films. Nichelle Nichols is an icon and inspiration for many. She even formally helped NASA recruit women and people of color in the 1970s. How’s that for an amazing legacy?
