I wrote an artist’s statement (for a group show submission) that’s so pretentious it sounds like I know what I’m doing.
I started a new (non graphic design related) job a little over a week ago and now feel like I haven’t drawn anything in a million years.

When the weather’s hot and sweaty, but you feel so spooky already — SUMMERWEEN. #haunteddavidart #summerween #horrrorbeefcake #supportqueerart #queerartist
After 6 years of working from home, today marks the first day of a new chapter in which I must physically be in a workplace surrounded by coworkers for 8 solid hours. Anxiety level is high.
HER PRIVATE HELL screening last night with a Nicolas Winding Refn Q&A — what a feast for the senses. #nwr #herprivatehell
The ADHD urge to dehydrate yourself because you're drawing and there's never going to be a right moment to get up and refill your drink.
Thank you for a raucous Tuesday night of queer cinema! Fun Facts: Felissa Rose’s father opened the first gay vacation motel in the country AND was also the bar manager at The #Stonewall Inn in 1969, getting arrested for rioting on that historic night! #PeachesChrist #MichaelVarrati #FelissaRose
I swear, whenever I look up a reference photo to see how a hand is positioned in any particular pose, it's always the mirror opposite of what I'm trying to draw.

Today I was faced with an age verification prompt when I opened Bluesky. If I disappear here, it’s because I’m morally opposed to any agency policing my web habits. But just now I reflexively opened Bluesky and I’m on just like normal. I despise the inconsistency, but at least I’m here for now.
I’ve been so ready for this. #DarkShadows #HauntedDavidArt #BarnabasCollins #Collinwood

Made time to add recent SALEM HORROR FEST work to my portfolio. I often worry that the words "horror fest" on my resume might turn off prospective employers, but I approach it like any other event project: creating modular visuals that lend themselves to different utilizations. #haunteddavidart
Another #Pride Month piece, this time with a vintage-inspired sailor pinup, because it's been so darn hot and I'd love to cool down with a visit to the sea. #HauntedDavidArt #SupportQueerArt #Beefcake #QueerArtist #FleetWeek #Sailor
I'm excited Gregg Araki is still making movies and I'll run out to see this opening night, but I have to express disappointment that this looks so... heterosexual. #hottake #greggaraki #iwantyoursex
It’s a Saturday in June and that means there’s a #Pride celebration taking place somewhere (well, a lot of somewheres)! Let’s kick this one off with everyone’s favorite #MistressOfTheDark, ELVIRA, an icon, ally, and member of the rainbow community! #haunteddavidart #elviramistressofthedark #queerart
Tonight I saw the trailer for the new Nicholas Hoult movie where he’s peroxide blonde with guyliner and a pup mask! #nicholashoult #HowToRobABank
Happy Pride Month to these two, who are about to make it everyone’s problem.
June is GAY PRIDE month!!! May was Military Appreciation Month. November is Veterans & Military Families Month. Straight people don’t need a Pride month because nobody has EVER tried to legislate them out of existence or make their lives harder because of who they love. #haunteddavidart #queerart
Today we celebrate the birthdays of TWO horror icons: Sir Christopher Lee (b. 1922) and Vincent Price (b. 1911). Both of them helped shape my love of horror and also had the most incredible voices. What legacies! #christopherlee #vincentprice #terrorfilm #houseoflongshadows #icons
