Here's a piece that I did as the cover for Strange as Angels Volume 1: Hell knights and Morbid Angels. It is quite a bit more embellished from the black and white cover piece. The text reads Bahal Tahl or Dark Wings in Enochian Angelic script.

OK, sometimes you just gotta put yourself out there and get on with it 🙂. Wellington Zinefest is today, and I have a stall. Gonna go ahead and put this out there.

RIP Dr. Goodall. Thank you for everything and for being such an awesome human. I am ever so grateful that we got to see her speak here in Wellington several years back.

Wellington Zinefest next weekend. For the first time in 11 years since I've been here, I'll actually be selling some of my own stuff. I am excited/nervous.

Kia ora koutou! I'm getting ready for a group show at Covenant Gallery. In keeping with the season, the theme is Occulture. Here's one of my four entries - Bahal Tahl or dark wings in Enochian script. I do love the spooky season. Cheers!

Wednesday morning here in Aotearo, a New Zealand. No rapture, but then again, we are left off of a lot of maps :)

Just saw this pop up on someone's Pintrest board as part of a Dungeon Synth collection. I did this one around 2011 or 12 for James Maliszewski of Grognardia. It was a tip of the hat to David C. Sutherland III's artwork. I always loved how DCSIII had these wacky little things going on in his work.

Still very much a work in progress. I have renamed the solo game to Escape the Bleak Forest, and the multi-player game will continue as Beyond the Bleak Forest. The solo game can be used as a character generator for the multiplayer game. I work slowly, but I am having fun working on it. #bleakforest

I'm really digging Alien Earth. Three episodes in, and I really enjoy the glimpse into the wider Alien universe. I understand that it may not be everyone's cuppa and that is ok, but I'm here for it.

Meet Tyto - my latest edition to my knights and knaves. I feel like he is more of a hobgoblin rather than the more devilish knights I've done. I've got a few more things to do with him, but prints will be made available at Covenant in the not-too-distant future. Cheers!

Death Takes the Field. I recently sold the original of this piece at my solo show - Strange Alchemy. I love it when my art finds a new home :). #ostensiblecat #artsale #darkfantasy #wellingtonartist

After my solo gallery show, I've been in sort of a post-project funk and trying to get my groove back. I need to work on Escape the Bleak Forest/Beyond the Bleak Forest. I have a lot of ideas for things, just not the spark atm. It'll come, but post-project blues is a thing. #ostensiblecat #BtBF

if u have artists in ur group and they post art its important to actually tell them that u like it and interact with it b/c man it hits me occasionally how demoralizing it is when you have people who dont bother looking at your shit unless you prod them to

They cut the part where I said I was incredibly grateful to my NZ customers for stepping up to support me 💜💜💜
"Artist Pepper Racoon ( @pepperraccoon.com ) told Morning Report that she feared for the future of her "very small business" as customers from the US made up 20 percent of her sales. "
This is ridiculous.
Boycott all US based Goods & Services now.
