October 2017
It’s a spooky time. The days are shortening, the nights grow long, and October and Halloween evoke thoughts of ghosts who haunt our homes. SLUG illustrator Drew Grella veritably animates this ghostly spirit of Halloween, and enlivens these ghosts’ emotions with playful color. Whether they’re tall tales or longing souls, Grella depicts the breadth of this phenomenon in our collective psyche. Find his work at drewgrella.com.
