As far as I'm concerned, there is far too much hero worship going on for sadistic villains. I admire those who step up and end those reigns of terror (for however short-lived that may be) and wanted to honor them. I saw this awesome set of pop-artish vector posters done for superheroes somewhere (No, I can NOT vague it up anymore) and the idea for these ladies was immediate. I hope to do more and did start Laurie Strode last night but I'm kinda spent on them at the moment. The ebbs and flows are my routine with every artistic endeavor but Stretch's chainsaw really took it outta me!
For now, here are four of my most favoritest heroines of all the times!

WOW! Dude. WOW.
Pretty much all I got. These are awesome! Love the style, love the subject, love the quotes with them. I want them as posters.
A great way to honor the women of horror without making them cheesecake pin ups.
Guess it wasn't all I had. lol
Fantastic! I love vector pop art and these are no exception. The attention to detail (Nancy's pj pattern, Stretch's bedazzled top) is superb.
I second the desire for posters.
saw these on deviant art but I don't have an account so I had to come here to comment. I really love them and think they'd made great posters too. Also think its cool to see the women of horror getting tribute. I hope you make more.
Those are soooo awesome! Great picks with Ginny, Sidney, Nancy, and Stretch!
Be great to not only have posters, but make trading cards with the bio of the character on the back, shoot, I'd buy either!
Are you planning to do any other heroines? I would like to nominate Kirsty Cotton of Hellraiser "You can go to hell!"

I agree with all that!
Thank ye folks, I am glad you enjoy. It was a fun idea and I hope to crank out a few more before I'm completely over it. ;)
@Printer: Honoring them was a big part of the motivation. I love seeing an artist's interpretation of favorite characters but I don't dig Maxim type pin-ups for women that would most likely never pose like that.
@Pete: Now why'd you have to go and say trading cards?... Like I need another project! =) I have to finish Laurie first but Kirsty would be an awesome addition.
LOL...well, I figure if they can make Horror Hosts trading cards, why not these? ;-)
Can't wait to see Laurie when she's done and one day Kirsty if you decide to add her!

Cool!!!
I really like these and you know I already share your same thoughts here.
Its always been funny to me how the villain in these movies gets the the attention, not that they deserve to have none but I mean did you see Nancy??? Did you see Ginny??? I promise you these women were there and serving up beatdowns
I can't wait to see your Laurie. Hey what about Jess? Maybe she could be holding the phone?
These are awesome! Not super familiar with horror movies so I had to google a couple of them but very nice!
LOVE your art & blog! Were we separated at birth? Both aspiring filmmakers who love the same things, too eerie. For proof check out my tumblr- Shameful Clutter.
Now howsabout CHRIS HIGGINS with her axe (Dana Kimmell) for your FINAL GIRL Series...
"No! You CAN'T be alive!"
