Art made for a Nim Vind poster featuring the man’s eyes and a cosmic motif. Color, original ink, and the final poster. Simple but bold. At the time of posting, this show is tonight 3/22/26 in San Diego at Ken Club with @mortalfoilband.bsky.social (my new side band). 🪐✨👁️🔪 #horrorpunk
“Did you hear who just died?” “I did. That platypus was iconic.” “Chuck Norr— what, really?”
Imagine a “tramp stamp” style tattoo of Dr. Forrester and TV’s Frank from Mystery Science Theater 3000 saying “DEEP HURTING” and you gotta look at it every time you hit it from the back. #mst3k
I just heard the PS3 start up sound for the first time in my life and now I’m pissed off.
Another idea for @thewrithers.bsky.social “Drown (in the Swamp)” single artwork that ended up being used for an alternate poster for 2024’s Summer of Terror Tour with @ourfrankenstein.bsky.social & @antania.bsky.social. 🌊 #horrorart #illustration #tourposter #creaturefromtheblacklagoon #swampmonster
Some of my favorite drawings from 2025. Here’s to even more in 2026. ⚰️ #artvsartist #artvsartist2025 #artistsofinstagram #throwback #happynewyear
My illustration for @thewrithers.bsky.social’ 2024 single “Drown”. I spent way too much time sketching, re-drawing, and getting lost in the details with this piece. Even so, I’m still happy with how this bug-eye, cool-guy, swamp creature turned out. 🚬🕶️🐟 #albumart #music #horrorart #illustration
First in a series of loose ink sketches I drew about a year ago that I liked so much I wanted to fine tune / finish them. I don’t remember having any particular thoughts or inspiration for this astronaut doll explorer woman. Just comfortable. #ink #blackwork #illustration #cosmichorror #spacegirl
First in a series of loose ink sketches I drew about a year ago that I liked so much I wanted to fine tune / finish them. She ended up with vaguely Neanderthal and or Bruce Timm style features that stood out so much to me. #ink #blackwork #illustration #dark #gothgirl
First in a series of loose ink sketches I drew about a year ago that I liked so much I wanted to fine tune / finish them. This abstract, shady character being the most odd and my favorite. #ink #blackwork #illustration #noir #abstractart
A self-portrait. Vaguely inspired by various Oingo Boingo album covers. Made for a @thewrithers.bsky.social poster for my birthday show back in January 2025. 💀⚰️🩷 #selfpotrait #abstract #globalvillagecoffeehouse #impressionism #folkart
For @thewrithers.bsky.social last release “Bug Stuff” I modeled various approximations of insects and took a bunch of different pictures of them to cluster the together the shape of the title. 🪳🪲🪱🪰 #modelingclay #bugs #thewrithers #albumart #wouldyoustilllovemeifiwasaworm
For 2025 I drew all of the members of @thewrithers.bsky.social’ severed heads lodged into cakes (including myself) for everyone’s birthday. I just wanted to share all of the final illustrations in one post for easy appreciation. 🎂💀 #severedhead #horrorart #horrorpunk #thewrithers
“And I love what you do / Don’t you know that you’re toxic?” The [remake] Toxic Avenger wearing Britney Spears’ iconic music video outfit. I started drawing this Toxie back in August and thought I should finally finish it! ✈️🧪☠️ #thetoxicavenger #toxie #troma #britneyspears #fanart

“I don’t know why people expect art to make sense. They accept the fact that life doesn’t make sense.” Started this the day of Lynch’s death. Finally got to posting. Sure I’m not the only one who felt that inspiring weirdo would be doing his thing forever. #davidlynch #tribute #lineart #robertmakes
The Minecraft movie better have a CaptainSparklez song during the end credits.
If I stop watching YouTube and TV I can clear my Letterboxd watchlist by the end of the year easily.
