I found a bunch of packs of Halloweenies cards at a thrift store, and after cracking into a few of them, realized they were a trading card set from the early 90s in the same vein as Garbage Pail Kids – rude and gross kids in crappy Halloween costumes. Each pack came with 10 cards, a checklist, and a stick of Spooky Fruit gum.
Or, at least, that’s the backstory I created for this project. In reality, everything was created by me to match the aesthetic of Garbage Pail Kids cards/stickers. I even created holographic cards for the more rare designs, which was a bit of a learning curve. Everything turned out awesome, and they were extremely well received at the Handmade Halloween market where they debuted.
