On the look out for Halloween costumes

With Halloween just around the corner, I've started looking at costumes as a form of procrastination and boy have I found some beauties! Staying truthful to myself and my love of all things artistic, I have come across a few costumes which I think could be perfect for Halloween. Okay, so these costumes may not be scary, but honestly I'm just using Halloween this year as an excuse to pretend to be a famous artist for the night!  Here is my shortlist:

1. I can't think of many artists who would be more fun to dress up as than Frida Kahlo. Known for her vibrant clothing, the beautiful flowers she wore in her hair and her iconic monobrow, Frida Kahlo is one of the most recognisable artists to have ever lived.

2. An artist equally as well-known and iconic as Frida Kahlo is Andy Warhol. Warhol is a favourite artist of mine. What better way to pay homage to him and his artistic endeavours could there be then to dress up as him? Maybe I could use a Campbell's soup-can as my trick-or-treat bag ... 

3. This last costume I have short listed is not an artist but is a witty reference to a huge event that has occurred in the Art world this year - the vandalisation of the Ecce Homo Fresco (something I have blogged about on several occasions). This costume would definitely get me brownie points with other Art enthusiasts!
