People buy a grinning, half-rotted character illustration full of acid green and bruise purple, then put it above a dining table or in a formal sitting room, and within a fortnight it looks like a joke told too often. Comic horror art is loud by design. It needs a room that is already a bit loud, or at least a room nobody is trying to keep serious. The second mistake is treating it as children's art because it is cartoonish. The drawing style in this genre borrows from newspaper caricature and mid-century monster magazines, which means bulging eyes, elongated limbs and teeth given far more attention than teeth deserve. Small children read that literally. Teenagers and adults read it as comedy. Hang accordingly. The third is quantity. Character work in this vein is usually sold as a cast, and buyers take three or four of them, line them up, and end up with something closer to a merchandise display than a wall. One strong character piece with room to breathe holds far more attention than a row of them competing. Where it does work is a hallway, a stair wall, a games room, a home office with a door you can close. These images want raking light rather than flat overhead light, because the palette is built on deep shadows and sour highlights and it goes muddy under a single ceiling bulb. A lamp set low and to one side will pull the modelling back out. Try this before you hang anything. Put the image on a screen, prop the screen where the picture would go, and walk past it six or seven times over an evening. Comic horror is a genre you either keep enjoying on the ninth pass or stop seeing entirely, and the walk-past test tells you which one you have bought.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.photo4sure.com\/collections\/beetlejuice-film-series-characters-wall-art.oembed","provider":"photo4sure","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
