A digital illustration of a demon with cigarettes for horns. Green and orange smoke rises from the horns. The demon holds a city in their arms. A traditional drawing of a black and white figure laying down in a field. Their face has caved in revealing a dark black shining orb. A traditional illustration of a giant robot turtle with a lighthouse on its back rising from the ocean. A figure in a row boat can be seen in the foreground. A digital illustration of three giant heads placed among dark green and purple plants. The landscape appears to be floating, surrounded by dark clouds and rainbows.

A photo of three white on black screen printed patch designs spread out over a table. The designs are puzzles: word search, spot the difference, and a maze.

Some book sketches I did this morning. I didn’t have a plan when I set up to draw, ended up being books.

#books #art #illustration #horror
Pencil sketch on paper of several books. The books give off a sinister theme as some of them appear to be bloody.

I'm just gonna post the map I made for my Appx. N adventure because I'm really proud of it. I'm more proud of the writing because I find that harder than drawing but I still think the map is great.

BOOGEYMAN (1986)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 28" X 17"

I love doing covers for anthologies, and I especially enjoy doing covers for horror anthologies. This piece was commissioned for one of DAW Books' annual collections of The Year's Best Horror Stories. 1/3
A tall, slender boogeyman with exaggeratedly long arms quietly slides open the closet door of a child's bedroom. Jostled hangers slide to either side as the creature emerges from behind the cover of clothing. Red dots glow like molten beads set in deep sockets. A double wrinkled ridge defines a wide brow while elfish ears knife out and back, framing a sloped dome that nearly touches the top shelf. The closet rod bars its way forward, crossing just below its round, snub nose. Salivating, its jaw hangs open in a V-shaped smile lined with short sharp teeth.

An illustration of Nancy Thomspon's House from the movie "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (1984). Nearby trees cast long dark shadows as the windows of the house are lit up with red light. The eyes of Freddy Krueger can be seen piercing through the night sky above.

Some hand drawn stickers I made this week. Sharpie and colored pencil on mail labels.

#stickers #diy #art
Six hand drawn stickers with a strong color theme of green, red, purple and black. The top two stickers depict an hourglass and an open monster mouth. Two stickers in the center of the image feature a stack of books as well as a gothic city scene. The two bottom stickers are illustrated with a tomb stone and a figure holding a raised knife over their head.

a fantasy map depicting a hell. from the top to the bottom: there's a submarine city of strange towers and glass domes connected to a giant computer in the midst of reefs. a river and a lake goes south from this city in the midst of some ruins, ending on a big dam from where a timid river flows through a desert canyon. beyond the desert, there's another stretch of sea separating it from another city at the end of the map. there are planets hovering above this landscape: the remains of mars and a primeval earth covered in lava, fumes, guns and forts. a map depicting a valley surrounded by two rivers, one red, the other of crystal waters, both flowing from a big lake fed by a large river coming from the mountains. the mountains look almost magical as there are four main peaks: a volcano, a snowy range, a forest-covered mountain and a colourful rocky mineral mountain. there is a city near the lake, called Alma, a meadow of giant butterflies, roads following the rivers, woods everywhere, ruins to the southeast. map of a village on a hill with autumn colours, surrounded by crop fields and an old wooden wall. the houses have thatched roofs. on the top of the hill, there's a colourful market with tents around a central bonfire with a big statue of a jackalope. illustration depicting six different worlds in cut-out stretches of land: one is a post-apocalyptic scenario, the second is an epic fantasy land, the third is a sci-fi landscape, the fourth is a city-noir landscape, the fifth is a fairy tale world and the final one is an submarine landscape with monsters and cities. All these are being drawn to the center of the artwork where a "world under construction" is cut to show its magic demon melting core full of hellfire, circled by a magic dust ring, orbited by dragons, whitchy houses, flying wooden ships and spacecraft, surrounded by scafolding and attached to strange machinery and gigantic pipes and hoses at its bottom.
