A digital illustration in the style of a block print. A humanoid figure wearing a red cloak stands next to a long, segmented creature that resembles a carrot. The creature’s body weaves in-and-out of dark bushes.

A digital illustration in the style of old print. It displays three plants in various states of transformation. All are growing vague animal-like bodies: one birdlike, one serpentine, and the other humanoid.

A digital illustration in the style of a woodcut. It depicts the upper half of humanoid figure whose β€œhead” is a flattened organic shape. A serpentine creature delicately wraps around the figure’s arm and into an opening in their face. The figure handles the creature gently.

Watercolor and ink sketch of a live band wearing button down shirts. This was sketched during their set in the dark. It is quick, dirty, and how I like to paint musicians.

1,000 followers. Thank you.

I am a traditional painter. I work with models weekly. I sketch a lot, especially when listening to live music. Horror & witchcraft are a part of my life.

Nudes, musicians, and ghosts aren't for everyone. I am flabbergasted to find people who like my work.

i dunno we got a dictator deploying national guard on a whim, i don't really mind if you read old sff or new sff or whatever the industry debate is today, whatever expands your mind and makes you critical and active is great, at this point if you're picking up a book at all i am fucking relieved

Hey! I'm doing a small Uncertain Sons event at North Fig Bookshop next month. Brian Evenson will be there, which is wild and very nice of him! I think there will be tacos. Maybe we'll talk about Wolfe and weird horror. If you live in LA stop by. Will be chill and mainly my cousins. 9/20, 7 pm.

A delicate story about what we need from myths and legends--about the parasocial nature between reality and unreality. One of Fogg's finest yet!

i was on a horror podcast and said that even though wolfe is often labeled as sci-fi/spec fic, there's usually enough disturbing going on in a deeper more ambiguous layer that he's closer to weird in my book. either that was right or bullshit. either you would've been proud or shaking your head

Sickening. Every journalist in America should think deeply about the fact that most American politicians are willing to accept and indeed facilitate the murder of our colleagues.
