GHOST TRAPPER CARSON in MINER PROBLEM! - Ghost Trapper Carson was a paranormal pioneer! There are many campfire tales of his heroic deeds like the time he trapped the ghost of Ol’ Emmett and saved the harvest! Some say he took on the zombie bear of Grizzly Gulch and captured the salt witch that was drying up the water wells at the edge of the frontier! There’s even a rumor that Ghost Trapper Carson boarded the phantom train and lived to tell about it! - #thefantasmicalworldofrhodemontijo #ghosttrappercarson https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ON5P0DVqV/?igshid=3wvldnfg05u7

The big day is almost here! Hope everyone has been enjoying October! This was a watercolor painting that I was honored to do for a friend to gift to another friend who loves Halloween and Switzerland. It was challenging to combine those, but it was so fun to do, and I looked forward to painting it between jobs! I treated this almost like a portrait of my friend.✨🎃✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Ne_oNjwMs/?igshid=rrpcfamwl8jq

It’s been a busy month, I can’t believe that this parade is TOMORROW! 😱 THIS SATURDAY October 26th, is one of my favorite Halloween traditions of recent years that makes me so happy- it’s THE ANAHEIM HALLOWEEN PARADE!!! It's been great working with amazing artists @kevinandjody and lots of volunteers for the last couple of years and seeing them bring back old-timey Halloween fun to the almost-100 year-old parade! I, and many artists, will be selling Halloween goodies at the Fall Festival from 11:00am - 5:00pm, then the Halloween parade kicks off at 6:00pm! If you live in Southern California, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY, recommend coming and celebrating this magical and homemade Halloween fun event! Swipe right to see more pics of the parade along with a few pieces of my art that I've been lucky to have had transformed into floats and props, thanks to the help of many volunteers! Make sure to follow @anaheimhalloweenparade for more spooky-fun pics and for a map of the parade route! Hope to see you there! ✨🎃✨ #anaheimhalloweenparade #halloween rhodemontijo.com Photos: 1) announcement by Jody Daily 2) Andy Anaheim by @kevinandjody and many volunteers 3) an original watercolor Drummer Jack painting of mine 4) Enlarged Drummer Jack sculpture by @kevinandjody 5) cardboard tree by @kevinandjody and many volunteers 6) It’s Pumpkin Man!

GHOST TRAPPER CARSON catches and releases ghosts of the woods. He is said to have rid the Hendell Trail of bewitched ghost robbers and sealed the ghost portal at Hangman's Gulch. Many legends exist of GHOST TRAPPER CARSON'S heroic deeds, but none match Carson’s weaving of ghostly tales around the fireside!✨🎃✨ -(repost) #thefantasmicalworldofrhodemontijo #halloween #halloweenart rhodemontijo.com https://www.instagram.com/p/B4C9upij3QQ/?igshid=lc9m3zo8n4nr

This is MUSICALLY INCLINED CLYDE. Growing up, CLYDE'S parents noticed that he had an ear for music. They swore that they heard him hum elaborate tunes before he spoke his first word. Originally shy about his gift, he now shares it with the world. Folks love it when they hear CLYDE coming!✨🎃✨ -(repost) #thefantasmicalworldofrhodemontijo #halloweenart rhodemontijo.com https://www.instagram.com/p/B4C82mujFE_/?igshid=1gvjyzcxhf2vz
