Introducing The Grimm Gallery (of Creepy and Curious Characters)!

We've got a ton of intriguing dark and dangerous characters from ghosts to monsters to unhinged humans lurking on the site. With Halloween approaching I thought we could give them all their place in 'The Grimm Gallery'!

Imagine a wall of portraits of creepy characters, each with their own bio and story.

What we need to fulfil this dark enterprise:

ILLUSTRATORS:

Contribute pre-existing and/or create new portraits of odd, twisted, scary characters.

Draw or photoshop picture frames for your favourites.

GRAPHIC DESIGNERS:

‘Hang’ these portraits on the virtual wall of the Grimm Gallery, which I imagine as a single wall in an old, dilapidated spooky mansion, peeling wallpaper, cobwebs etc.

STORYTELLERS:

Choose a character that gives you the creeps and write a short BIOGRAPHY for them – no more than 200 words. Also give them a name if they haven’t got one already.

Once we have backstories, then we can write STORIES and POEMS inspired by the characters. These can be darkly comedic or just plain dark. Think Grimm fairytales meets Tim Burton.

Ultimately I could see this becoming a ‘Little Book of Horrors’ with  a double page for each character, and the gallery of portraits perhaps making up the inside cover which would pull out. (Just an idea though – this can go in several directions!)
