Halloween is quickly approaching, and so is the time to have your killer costume ready! For those of you looking for ideas this year, we’ve put together a quick list of some halloween costumes for artists that are fairly easy to put together, and are sure to be a hit!
Visual Artists
Jackson Pollock Painting
Easy to do, and fun to make! This one can be done on your own or with a group of friends, and it’s sure to turn some heads. Just grab some white painting suits from the hardware store, and let the creative juices (paints) flow.
Michelangelo’s David
If you’re unlike me and in great shape, then this costume is super simple to put together! All you need is a LOT of body paint.
Picasso Painting
Another paint involved option that’s sure to generate some laughs depending on how good your face painting skills are.
Banksy Art
This is one of our favourites, and it really isn’t too difficult to put together. All you really need is a black outfit from head to toe covered with some healthy splotches of white paint, a bouquet of flowers, and you’re basically good to go!
Musicians
Prince
Sure to be a big contender this year: the classic purple Prince getup. This one’s available at many Halloween stores as a complete costume, but to those do-it-yourselfers, a quick trip to Value Village will likely do the trick.
Retro Britney
How about taking a trip back in time with this awesome retro Britney Spears look? This one’s easy to pull off, and touches on all those nostalgic feels.
B-Boy/B-Girl
Get phunky phresh with this 80’s B-boy/B-girl look! All you need is a pair of sweats with a zipup pullover to match, partnered with the classic bucket hat, glasses and gold chain. Pro tip: this one’s also great for channeling that inner groove when you’re out on the dance floor.
Hotline Bling Drake
An instant classic.
Actors & Actresses
Mary Poppins
We can’t guarantee you’ll be flying by the end of the night with this costume, but we can tell you it’ll be a crowd pleaser!
The Wicked Witch of the West
Easy, fun, AND spooky!
Grease
C’MON, you can never go wrong with a little bit of Grease Lightnin’!
No matter what costume you choose this year, remember to share it with your followers and fans on social media as some great personable content! And for those of you with a bit of a competitive side, we’ll be giving away a FREE 30 minute consultation session to whoever uploads the best photo of themselves in their Halloween costume to Instagram with the hashtag #smartistcostume before November 1st!
