“It literally squirted in my mouth and not in a good way”

Things overheard at the airport 😳

Some amazing books here! I’m honored to be among the list 🖤

He’s on the list. He’s on the list. He’s on the list. He’s on the list.

Don’t stop asking about the list.

Not sure but, I think I interrupted a very serious meeting 😬

I just wanted a cute picture of her but she’s not having any of it 😐

This weekend I’ll be at Hall of Heroes Comic Con!

Going to the show? Stop by table AA01 and say Hi! I’ll have creepy books, poetry books and children’s books - plus original art and stickers.

I hope to see you there 😎

Last day of Fan Expo Philly

Crazy hair - check
Dali Llama shirt - check
Bigfoot earrings - check check
Voice lost - yup, check that too

Superman breathing down my neck because I won’t let him play Candy Crush - double check

I’ve got only one sketch duel to moderate, then I’ll be at P40 all day!

Heading to Philly in a few hours for FE Philly & wanted to get some last minute pieces done. I’ll be tabling all weekend @ P40 where I’ll be slinging my weird abstract art & books.
Like spooky stories? I got you.
Prefer poetry? Got you there too.
Want to have all ages fun? Got those too.

Found these little guys at #goodwill - plenty creepy before but I took it a step further & painted their eyes black.
Now, I have my own black eyed children to greet people. Kinda feel bad for the mail carrier - I actually like her.

Been sitting on some exciting (I’m grossly excited, so it’s ok if you aren’t) news.
Been waiting for a gig that requires me to watch one of my favorite shows for research-I’ve landed (thanks to an amazing friend) a job writing the flavor text for the Wednesday (the Netflix show 😱) trading cards!

Did some art the other day… meet Miss Sara Bellum. Yea, I channeled the best secretary Townsville has ever had!

My life from the last 4 weeks 🖤

It’s been a crazy busy nonstop month and while my body and mind are exhausted - I enjoyed every minute of it 💋

Very excited to share that my short story “I’ll Never Go Camping Again” is part of the @creepypod.bsky.social Creepaway Camp 2025. The episode dropped on Sunday.

They told her the spider-armed woman who dragged her father into the earth wasn't real.

They told her it was her child mind trying to cope with a terrible tragedy.

20 years later, she returns home to a truth darker than she could have ever imagined. #booksky #horror

Pretty excited to be tabling at shows again this year. A new spooky collection coming out next month and a spooky comic later this year, I’m hoping for a decent experience.
*Note: these are for me as a creator. I’ll be working other shows with CSA as Art Coordinator. Don’t worry, I can multitask 🥸

Who am I?

I just saved a spider from drowning in the cats water bowl.

Am I friends with spiders now?

A week in Orlando for Megacon. I’m exhausted. I’m sore.
I somehow didn’t take a single photo with my phone all week. I did go to our superbowl party. Mainly because I still had work 😕
I ate food. Had a few beers. And I got to shoot aliens. Here’s proof courtesy of Brett Bean
Gonna take a nap now.

Getting ready for Megacon but it’s really difficult to leave all of the cuteness that Hastor brings 🖤

Oh, & btw, packing is stupid.

Corrupt “Musk”-eteers how about instead of breaking our SS systems you focus your energy on making a cost effective shrink ray that allows me to really travel light.

Cover for Malevolent Nevers showing a painted antique house with turrets and strange lurking figures on the roof

Cover for Almost Ruth showing a woman's face half flesh half skull with a crown of roses in pastel shades

My book cover commissions are officially open again!

I handpaint vivid, colourful, pulpy covers for indie authors (including myself). Here's an example of my style. I'm open now for Feb commissions, reasonably priced, very approachable. Full wrap etc
