someday i will draw a tarot deck that will be so queer and full of skulls. imagine a crossover between these two standalone cards i drew, and the queer orgy in the woods piece i did

A black and white ink illustration of the Death tarot card. An armored knight with a skeletal face rides atop a white horse. They are both covered in different types of fungus. The rider and horse loom over a skeletal body on the ground in the foreground of the image. The body is also covered in fungus. Text that reads “XIII” is at the top of the drawing, and “DEATH.” is written at the bottom.A black and white ink illustration of The Moon Tarot card. The moon sits high in the star filled night sky — it has a skull like shadow on it. Two monoliths sitting on the horizon frame A path recedes into the distance — winding up and over hills and mountains all the way to the horizon. Along the path there are two wolves howling at the moon. In the foreground there is a skeletal knight and a skeletal horse — they are both covered in fungus and are seated on the ground at the edge of a lake. The skeletal knight looks at a reflection of the moon in the water. The reflections of the moon and the knight are each young and embracing in a kiss. Cattails are coming out of the water on the left side of the water. The top of the card reads “XVIII” while the bottom of the card reads “THE MOON”a black and white illustration of a creek in a dark forest where a pine tree has e fallen and cast a shadow over the creek. in the distance there is a group of naked people having sex. there are inset comic panels that feature in sequence: someone eating pussy, someone licking another person’s armpit, a fledgling downy woodpecker in a pine tree, someone pulling someone’s hair from behind, someone licking a woman’s dick, and a frog on a rock in the creek.

THE EXQUISITE CORPSE IN MAGGOTS' KEEP remains one of my proudest works. from the cover, to the interiors, as well as the pinup tier pieces i did for the kickstarter. i'm still in love with the character design and their enigmatic charm and naiveté expressed through an unmoving skeletal facade.

A color digital book cover illustration of a bejeweled corpse wearing a shawl. They are reclined against a rocky wall with fungus on it. The title page says “The Exquisite Corpse in Maggots’ Keep by Sandy Pug Games. The framing of the illustrations done in an art nouveau style but it is full of mushrooms and maggots.a black and white comic page of 6 panels that depicts a dark stone interior with exposed rafters covered in cobwebs and other hanging things. there is a room with a pile of collected items next to a table with people sitting at it, a close up of hot tea, a close up of pictures on the wall — one of which is a wedding scene of a large muscular fish man kissing a skeletal figure in a dress, a close up of large muscular hand holding a skeletal hands, a close up of knitting materials, and the same fish man and skeletal figure wearing sweaters cuddling together.a black and white illustration of a skeletal figure adorned in draped cloth and jewelry. they are reclining in a gil evgren style pinup pose on the ground surrounded by rocks and mushrooms.a black and white illustration of a skeletal figure adorned in draped cloth and jewelry is standing seductively with one leg extended while they pull up their robe to show more leg in a gil evgren style pinup pose. they are standing beside a cavern wall that has mushrooms growing on it.

one of the most devastating pieces of art i've ever experienced is mount eerie's "a crow looked at me" i don't know if i could ever listen to it a second time because it is the most painfully real portrait of the death of a loved one that has perhaps ever been produced. it's beautifully unbearable.
