About me...

Who am I?
I am Robert Brawley, a.k.a. Halloween Fanatic. I started out as an avid Halloween Collector, and blogger. I have been blogging for a while now, and collecting for roughly 11 years. I have a wonderful holiday collection from artists all around the U.S.A. including Johanna Parker, David Everett, Tony Costanza, Kristen Beason, Chris Klingler, Lori Rudolph (Canada), and many many more wonderful artists, which you can see many of my collectibles in the Fall Issue of Celebrate 365: The Journal for the ornament enthusiast, in which I was in the collectors feature, there were also some of my illustrations there.Which leads me in to my artistic side...

Fiveyears ago I started creating illustrations for EBAY and ETSY. In the fall of last year I started teaching myself to sculpt, now here I am five years later serving up Halloween goodies on EBAY, ETSY, and participating in shows like Spirits in Sanford. I also sell at GG'S Frame Gallery and NOW Sanctuary of Davidson in North Carolina! I am a member of artists groups SEHA, HA31, The Halloween Art Guild, BWBA, MHA, and a collector member of EHAG! I also sell at Every Witch Way Lane!!

 Me personally, I am married, a father of three, twins daughters and a son, which often pop up on my blogs, they love to get involved in art, and especially my art! I have my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education, my Associates degrees in Art and in Fine Art. We live in North Carolina, a beautiful place to live and visit!
