A few of the Noss Saga maps exist in real life. These are diegetic maps (they are drawn in the story by one of the characters) so I made them for real with a fountain pen and textured paper. #NossSaga #Cartography #FantasyMaps

I loved the symbolism of this piece, to a fault. I just couldn’t find the right project to pitch a spiked warrior’s skull with the third eye open. Thankfully the apocalyptic fantasies of MÖRK BORG came at the right time for damnation. The originail oil painting is available.
Sam Araya is one of the most consistently amazing horror artists alive today
"Satanachia" its inspired by one of my favorite movies "El Dia de la Bestia" and James Blish amazing book "Black Easter".

There are many interpretations of what [Paimon] can bestow, but I’m quite fond of the idea of him as a merchant of secret knowledge, your experience of course, may vary. So I illustrated him as a wanderer sporting forbidden and dangerous goods across the desert.
Oh, man. I might have to get this cover framed. Coming soon. Cover art by Samuel Araya. Edited by the legendary @datlow.bsky.social . #horror #horrorfiction
Character portraits as illustrations for Ania Ahlborn's "Brother". These illustrations are meant to complement a lovely disturbing novel, a bit of a fantastic counterpoint to the rawness of the text.
The story "The White People" of Arthur Machen has a special place in my heart. Just did this cover for a new illustrated edition with aditional tales inspired by it.
Losing your identity, losing your story to the hands of a tyrannical ruler, that’s the feeling I wanted to convey for my art for the game “The Blue Way”, here is the box cover.
Cover art for "Monumental" by Adam Nevill. Inspired by my childhood fear of owls. Also a bit of a hint of what might lurk beneath the feathery mask.
Some red illustrations I have done for Adam Nevill's "The Reddening".
The red faces at the window - Interior illustration for "The Reddening".
“From end to end, history was collected horror, preserved for the fascination of a bestial species.” ― Adam Nevill, The Reddening A peek into a cult older than time. Wallpapers available in my patreon.
A fly-thru of the set of ‘Self Containment’ 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁💀
How I ended up working with one of my favorite authors! I read the book “The Ritual" by Adam Nevill, and did some fan art. Posted the image on social media and someone tagged Adam the comments shortly afterwards and started working on the cover art for his novel “The reddening”.
Illustrated one of my favourite short horror stories for fun. The Voice In The Night by William Hope Hodgson!
I’m incredibly honored to announce I created a book cover for one of my favorite authors, Ramsey Campbell! It’s a special moment for me, because it’s a traditionally painted piece, which feels like a validation to the hard work I put in my craft.
I made a candid portrait of Judge Holden from Blood Meridian.
