Happy New Year 2026!
I don't like to over-promise. I do have some plans for this year. Which I intend to make good on.
A few less shows. More books & comics. New artworks & merch.
Let's make it a good one!

Some more WhatNot commissions I never got to post. Again: I'll be back at it next week (& every Wednesday) at 7pm EST.
I hope you're all celebrating the eve of the new year in style and safety.
Cheers!

I have so much to be proud of & grateful for this year. I also have some things I'm not content with (like the creative output vs the hours spent on shows).
I wrote a fuller blog about it: jmdesantis.com/2025/12/year...

This seems to be a trend, so...
It's been an odd year creatively (which I'll post more about tomorrow), and very Nosferatu-focused (following the remake--because, of course!). A couple variant covers. Chadhiyana. Branching out into some animal art.
Looking to do a lot more in 2026! #artvartist2025

The New Year is upon us, & I have a solid list of shows for the first three months.
Because I'm cutting back a bit & refocusing that time elsewhere, these show posts will come in blocks like this, including pre-show commissions (for the upcoming block) & newest releases.
See you on the road in '26

A few acrylic painted sketchcards that were commissioned a while back.
The guy especially wanted my Medieval Spawn piece on a card, and I think I did pretty good recreating it. Three characters I wouldn't mind drawing professionally some time.

How last week's WhatNot was even better than the last, I can't understand, but here are the commissions. (I especially love that Grinch.)
I'll be back at it on Jan 7 at 7pm EST (& all Wednesdays; user: jmdwriteist). Going to enjoy my Christmas & New Year's.

I am actively taking commissions through next year (and selling OA). I always encourage pre-show commissions (better result).
The following is my confirmed list so far. I will be doing less shows, but not none.
Spots are limited. Accepting for Jan & Feb shows.

Last weekend, I sold out of my last copies of The Kirklyn Horror!
I'll restock for next year, but if you want a copy (or have one and have yet to review it), head over to Amazon: a.co/d/6k3z5vF
It makes a great gift for lovers of Eldritch Horror, too.
