This year’s construction of our annual Halloween display called “The Papier Mache Nightmare” is behind schedule (as always it seems) due to a very busy last couple of months.   To everyone that has sent me questions via email please know that I am working on getting them answered and […]

The Papier Mache Nightmare 2009

If you’ve read through the majority of projects on this site then you know that one of my favorite places on the internet is The Mad Lab, a site that hosts monthly prop building contests. The Mad Lab has motivated me to create many of my more popular pieces; the […]

80 Days . . .

Eighty days until Halloween. Do you know where your props are? My new props for the year are still resigned to a piece of paper, scratchy doodles and rambling images swimming around my mind. The ideas and concepts are solid but the actual physical realization of these new creations has […]

Tombstone Study

Skull Replication

This skull was an experiment in creating a prop by applying strip mache over an existing form. The skull also provided a chance to play around with different painting techniques by going beyond my typical dry brushing technique. The result is a fairly realistic skull that looks as if it […]

Frog-O-Rama

Completed five papier mache frogs for summer workshops in June and July at Space Studios in Midland, MI. These large frogs are fun to make and would be a perfect addition to porch, patio or pool. Instructions can be found here.

About

Scott A. Stoll is a self taught artist born and raised in the sleepy town of Reed City, Michigan and during his teenage years developed a deep passion for science fiction and horror. After graduating from Ferris State University with a bachelor’s degree in Television Production he continued his love for the genres and started to play with papier mache as a means to create his own visions of all things fantastical. Today Stoll is an award winning papier mache artist specializing in Halloween related subject matter and continues to push the boundaries of the papier mache medium. His work is typically characterized by the use of recycled and commonly found materials and has been featured in The Midland Daily News, Great Lakes Bay Region Lifestyle Magazine and on The Home Depot blog. In April 2013 Scott opened STOLLOWEEN Studio at 716 George Street in Midland Michigan. The studio serves as his personal workshop and classroom for those interested in learning a variety of papier mache techniques. Scott lives in Midland, Michigan with his wife and two sons and when not working still enjoys watching a good science fiction or horror movie.
