And consider the Wülf Girlz themselves, looking neither like Red Riding Hood, the archetypal "wolf girl" (as prey/potential victim), or like the scantily-dressed virgins and vampires that wandered amid Jean Rollin's distinctively dreamlike 1970s movies.

My buddy, Russ ( @channel13clothing on IG ), who made the "I Survived Tornado Con" t-shirt for TerrorCon, grabbed my a bottle of Autocrat Coffee Syrup at Rhode Island Comic Con. I'm "officially" a Rhode Islander! 😅

Also: go check out his clothing designs.

Did you catch The Angry Geeks Show on Monday with myself as the one of the guests?

You can still watch it, AND I'll be on their panel tonight LIVE from Rhode Island Comic Con. Plus, I'm at Booth 229 all weekend!

A bit late, but Halloween is all year for me.

Just a few pics from the decorations Rachel took me to see in Manhattan's East Side and Brooklyn in October.

With the Headless Horseman Hayrides, it was a great way to enjoy my favourite holiday.

October was a grueling month work-wise, plus some personal stuff, & this woman was there for me & made it so much easier. She even helped me at a convention.

Plus, we still got some Halloween in & she made my birthday weekend so wonderful.

Thank you, Rachel. You've been awesome. 💜

Heading back to Rhode Island Comic Con this weekend, and this time with a booth!

Don't look for me in Artist Alley, kids! I'm at Booth #229 (just outside of the Alley).

Going to see how this works for me.

Not dressed up, but I am set up for HexenFest in Johnstown, PA for a Halloween night market.

Not the typical way I spend the Holiday, but I'm excited for a fun night.

The first of two seasonal Creature Coffins™: the Pumpkins Witch!

A very popular print, now as coffin art. I'm going to have to give her a name if I keep using her in my work.

Available at shows & on Etsy (only for 90 days): www.etsy.com/listing/4394...

When I introduced the new plague doctor Creature Coffin™ a couple of weeks ago, it was an immediate success.

This one will end the standard set of characters (for now?).

All sizes and types available at shows and on Etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/4394...

Many thanks to HexenFest. See you this Friday!

Nosfe-RAT-u: Ein Symphonie Das Nagatier

Part of a new series of animal related prints.

And I just think it's kind of funny.

If you happen to the Shoppes at Dragon Village, Mooncradle Apothecary is now carrying copies of The Kirklyn Horror!

Of all my works, it still ranks my favourite prose work. And with two prequels now in development.

When I was in Salem two weeks ago, the new Plague Doctor coffin was extremely popular. Will it be the same this weekend? We shall see.
