Hey! I'm E.M., I make comics & a bunch of other stuff! I just published a graphic novel called The Last Band On Earth which you can get from my shop here: ko-fi.com/s/ec1f7cdea3 (digital version here as well - ko-fi.com/s/a00aca22ef )
And here's where else you can find me: cuckoosnestpress.carrd.co
Cover illustration for Hexagon Magazine, depicting two figures in hazmat suits reflected in a pond. They are holding hands and walking away together. The ground is covered with fungi and spore dander. There is a large smiling frog in the far foreground in the bottom right corner. A page from my graphic novel The Last Band On Earth, depicting two characters, Nat and Rick, on a rooftop in a windstorm, battling an evil eldritch being that resembles a biblically accurate angel, but with bat wings instead of feathery angel wings, and several long strands of sinew stretching out from its midsection in all directions. Rick is hooking his phone up to a guitar amplifier with a dongle and searching through his files to find something loud to play through the amplifier. Yup! An acrylic painting of a dead tree trunk split down the center into three pieces, surrounded by rocks and foliage. A small black blob with eyes is perched on the edge of one of the stump pieces, peering out at the viewer on the right side. Another identical black blob is crawling on the ground behind the stump at the left. An old hollowed out car, an Austin Mini, parked in a driveway. There are several stylized ghosts drifting out of it. The colour palette is entirely monochrome red, giving the whole piece an eerie atmosphere.

"Drawing stuff that could be album covers," 6/?

#artpost #darkart #traditionalart #ink
A bust of a person with horns and blank eyes, and an equally blank expression. They are partially covered in a dark black liquid that's sloughing off them to reveal half of their face. They have short hair, a moustache and a chinstrap beard. The drawing is black ink on fluourescent green paper.

Three grotesque figures in formal wear, with misshapen heads made of...viscera. Meat. Lumpy flesh. It's gross.

portrait of the artist

#art #retro
a busy, eclectic collage depicting the artist, a young man with curly hair and large glasses, sitting at a kitchen table and drawing. he is surrounded by clippings reading "I studied ART at home - SO CAN YOU!", "TURN YOUR HOBBY INTO A CAREER!", "Be Popular - Amaze - Entertain", and "What kind of man do you want to be?" On the table next to him is a machine with arms and a cartoon face, feeding a length of adding machine tape into another machine like it on the floor, which itself is reaching over to pet a kitten. three drawings of fritz, a cartoon character wearing a sailor shirt and shorts, are superimposed atop the collage, with the caption "i don't need to be perfect. i don't even need to be good. all i need to do is BE, and that's what i'll do."

Artist! Quote with your horn art!
A watercolor illustration of a grotesque but not very scary Krampus, sporting appropriate prison tattoos, including "Mistlefoe," "Anti-Claus," and a visual representation of the Grinch's heart being 3 sizes too small. By beloved Minneapolis cartoonist Zander Cannon

This might be my favorite stage of a drawing. I don't know if it's the delicateness, or the idea of potential but I often find myself leaving them like this with studies. #wip #hand #colorpencil
A rough sketch drawn with white and black color pencil on a light blue paper. The drawing is of a hand using a sumi brush to make a stroke. The drawing is light, in the early stages of refining the shape with hatching to describe the planes of the fingers and hand. The background is chunked in with rough, white strokes.

all I know is all these occasions thoroughly disprove "the secret" because no one's concentrated on wishing something this hard together outside of sporting events

My take on this kind of thing
Drawing of a crouching long-necked creature with primate hands, stringy green hair, and an appendage on its nose resembling a small smiling human with dangling arms and legs.

A girl stares lasers at her battered phone, awaiting a text from her crush. Her companion asks her is she’s ever heard the phrase “a watched pot never boils” at which the girl wonders if either her crush is busy or if she, in fact, hates her.

Today's insect is a Zorak, no, I mean, a praying mantis, based off a photo off someone named Eric Lucy. I spent a little longer on this one, more like 1.5 hours.
