Not just some mangy coyote

We’ve had excellent response to our Kickstarter effort the past few days, so as a reward to our donors (and an enticement for those of you who have not yet donated,) here is a sneak peek at the chupacabra that you will be able to see at our Exposition! We know that cryptid fans everywhere are a little tired of seeing photos of mangy coyotes being peddled as the legendary goat-sucker, so we are extremely proud to have on display this authentic specimen. This is only the tip of a horrifying iceberg that is the full body of the creature.

Want to see more? Then come out to our Steampunk Exposition & Burlesque Show at GMX, October 21-23. We have even more ghoulish oddities to bring you, but we desperately need your support!

 

 

Creature Tuesday: La Chupacabra

La Chupacabra

Stalwart Abolisher Jasper Dunlap has had more than his fair share of encounters with this loathsome creature. The chupacabra is well-known among the pioneers of the West as a capricious, tenacious predator of livestock, particularly when it comes to goats. Packs of these murderous beasts can eliminate an entire herd within minutes, leaving only a few thoroughly gnawed bones in their wake. In times of want, the chupacabra has been known to actually stalk any vaquero unlucky enough to be traveling alone amidst the wastelands of the American desert. Fortunately, one can be alerted to the presence of chupacabras by their ferociously powerful scent, which is reminiscent of curdled milk and manure.

See this creature and more at Dr. Torque’s Traveling Exposition of Curious Contraptions and Fantastical Oddities at GMX October 21-23. Your donations will make it happen!

The Steampunk World’s Fair

We are quickly approaching the Steampunk World’s Fair which is held May 20th – 22nd in Somerset, New Jersey. Unfortunately, the Abolisher’s will be unable to attend this amazing event, but we felt that we needed to share one of the stunning posters for this year’s event.

This beautiful poster design comes from illustrator, Tom Brown. On his blog, The Moth Festival, Tom shares a few step by step posts of creating this great homage to one of the Abolishers favorite literary masters, H.P. Lovecraft.  His eerie use of value and texture really sets the perfect tone for the stories of Lovecraft.  Be sure to give Tom’s other work a gander while on his site, the man has some serious talent!

Here is the pencils for Tom’s poster.

 

As I had mentioned above, the Abolishers are unable to make this year’s Steampunk World’s Fair. I am personally VERY sad about this because one of Jasper’s most favorite bands, Murder By Death will be performing this year. Just the thought of seeing these guys at a STEAM convention sounds like a BLAST! Maybe one day, Jasper will be able to see this spectacle in person.(Let’s hope they agree to do more Steam cons for the future!) With that notion, We leave you with the fun beer-chuggin’  bar-fighting song “Brother”  by Murder By Death.

ENJOY!

Last but not least, we have Jasper Dunlap to round out the Apparition Abolishers. This concludes the portraits that will appear on the upcoming poster that will be available (from us) at the MidSouthCon in Memphis.

Next week will be the first look at the poster, although I might post some progress or comp shots of it this week. Stay tuned to find out!!!
