In the past couple months, designed and printed two new long sleeve shirts for @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social
Hope to make fun pieces that I’d be happy to wear, and was pretty pleased with how it these turned out. Hand printing sleeves is tricky! But I think worth the effort.

If you want creepy dungeon drone why not flay your mind with a trip into arcane darkness?

Social media is a hellscape, every tech company is evil, so we are back to blogging like it’s the early 2000s!
Just an intro to being a terrible entrepreneur, looking back on my first shop, and a little rant about the costs of everything. Y’know, light stuff.

BE NOT AFRAID is out now!
A deadbeat guitarist's bad night gets worse when he's thrust into hell, seraphs demanding his death hot on his heels. His only hope is another angel, one with eyes he used to know.

Rolled many small boulders up the hill for 2026 today, & I'm in awe at the variety.
Feels like such a trope-y answer—like a metal guitarist saying "yeah it's both our heaviest & most melodic album yet"—but it's also true.
Next year is bleak AF & Electric Neon.
