Heading to Philly in a few hours for FE Philly & wanted to get some last minute pieces done. I’ll be tabling all weekend @ P40 where I’ll be slinging my weird abstract art & books.
Like spooky stories? I got you.
Prefer poetry? Got you there too.
Want to have all ages fun? Got those too.

Found these little guys at #goodwill - plenty creepy before but I took it a step further & painted their eyes black.
Now, I have my own black eyed children to greet people. Kinda feel bad for the mail carrier - I actually like her.

Been sitting on some exciting (I’m grossly excited, so it’s ok if you aren’t) news.
Been waiting for a gig that requires me to watch one of my favorite shows for research-I’ve landed (thanks to an amazing friend) a job writing the flavor text for the Wednesday (the Netflix show 😱) trading cards!

They told her the spider-armed woman who dragged her father into the earth wasn't real.
They told her it was her child mind trying to cope with a terrible tragedy.
20 years later, she returns home to a truth darker than she could have ever imagined. #booksky #horror

Pretty excited to be tabling at shows again this year. A new spooky collection coming out next month and a spooky comic later this year, I’m hoping for a decent experience.
*Note: these are for me as a creator. I’ll be working other shows with CSA as Art Coordinator. Don’t worry, I can multitask 🥸

A week in Orlando for Megacon. I’m exhausted. I’m sore.
I somehow didn’t take a single photo with my phone all week. I did go to our superbowl party. Mainly because I still had work 😕
I ate food. Had a few beers. And I got to shoot aliens. Here’s proof courtesy of Brett Bean
Gonna take a nap now.

Getting ready for Megacon but it’s really difficult to leave all of the cuteness that Hastor brings 🖤
Oh, & btw, packing is stupid.
Corrupt “Musk”-eteers how about instead of breaking our SS systems you focus your energy on making a cost effective shrink ray that allows me to really travel light.
