👻 🎉 Happy 1 month to THE GHOSTKEEPER 🎉 👻

Dorian Leith is a therapist for ghosts. When the key to Death's Door is stolen, trapping all the ghosts in the land of the living, the spirits rely on Dorian to retrieve the key before they are consumed by a plague of ghostly rot.

Thank you to the Austin Mom who told me today that because of Alice’s story, she insisted that doctors double check her little boy for the appendicitis they were insisting he didn’t have.

And he DID have.

And he is now fine.

Use your voice!! ❤️ thank you —

In January, I tweeted these 9 posters I've done in the past 6 years, promising to do a 10th.

I've been (slowly) working on a jellyfish poster since, but people keep asking when it will be done.

tl;dr: they don't make me much money so I only do them when I have free time.
