He’s on the list. He’s on the list. He’s on the list. He’s on the list.

Don’t stop asking about the list.

This weekend I’ll be at Hall of Heroes Comic Con!

Going to the show? Stop by table AA01 and say Hi! I’ll have creepy books, poetry books and children’s books - plus original art and stickers.

I hope to see you there 😎

Last day of Fan Expo Philly

Crazy hair - check
Dali Llama shirt - check
Bigfoot earrings - check check
Voice lost - yup, check that too

Superman breathing down my neck because I won’t let him play Candy Crush - double check

I’ve got only one sketch duel to moderate, then I’ll be at P40 all day!

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!

My life from the last 4 weeks 🖤

It’s been a crazy busy nonstop month and while my body and mind are exhausted - I enjoyed every minute of it 💋

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.

Surprise announcement!

Through the Dark Hallway is available for preorder on Amazon.

This is only for kindle/ebook. The physical version will release on the same day.

Link to my Linktree is in my bio 💋

Gearing up to table at more conventions this year. Look at these 2 freaking awesome tabletop banners that I ordered 🖤

Thankfully no migraine today but I do have this nifty curl in my bangs 💋

Woke up to a horrible migraine, temples throbbing and eyes squinting.
Hastur came along and brought the cuteness 🖤
