Thrilled to announce that one of my favorite pieces, “The Magus” was accepted and will be published in the Infected By Art 13th annual!
The Magus is a drawing by Brit Austin of a masc presenting person with long hair and beard, Hozier looking with a white and blue Luna looking moth over the eyes. He wears a crown of branches on his head. He is well dressed in a suit. The infinity symbol swirls above his head and roses trail down in the background. Based on the magician in Tarot.

Of course I would not have survived without my pack of folks that keep me grounded and “sane”. One of my besties and fellow goblin @jessybot.bsky.social was kind enough to join me on this Atlanta adventure. To every success, there’s a community of support. I’m beyond grateful for their presence. 💜

After a full day of vending, I often need to introvert, but one of my besties and vendor @catleesiscreations.bsky.social mustered up enough energy to check out a beautiful after party held by the owners of The Black Cat Tattoo Parlor in Atlanta - filled with dark antiques and riveting conversation.
The Black Cat in Atlanta, GA - front Bat taxidermy at the Black Cat. Books and bats!!! The Black Cat - inside I could not get over this faucet shaped like an angry swan. I would go “bluuuuuuurgh” everytime the water came out. It’s only natural.

While I’m notorious for forgetting to take photos with folks, the moments shared with other creatives will be cherished. Vortex was a killer burger place with delightful staff and Flying Biscuit Co was equally grand.

A little late but thank you Atlanta! While it was a bit of a chaotic adventure including a flat tire 20 min from home on an 8+ hour drive, I met some wonderful folks! 💜

Orlok is putting the c✨nt in Count.

Even in vampiric times, we must continue to make cursed art. These holographic vinyl stickers will be available soon. ✨

#nosferatu #servingcount
Holographic sticker of Count Orlok, Nosferatu with busy eyebrows, bodacious lashes, and nails that could make a man coffin. Below in black letter gothic font it says “serving count” with the o smaller than the other letters.

If you see this, quote with your Night/Dark Art!
The legend of sleepy hollow illustration by Brit Austin. A skeleton horse and headless rider jump above a darkened town. The large full moon shines down illuminating a gated path with tombstones and lit Jack o lanterns.

Finished this commission in Dec for a Christmas gift, a portrait of a friends dog, Tulip! Thanks Liz for thinking of me.

Although my usual Art is darker, pet portraits are delightful and it’s easy to have fun displaying their personalities.

Making vinyl stickers of my newest cursed design “Serving Count”. Should I make classic black and white or holographic? Choices…🐀
