It's late Monday night and I see I now have 9,000 pageviews and my deviations have been viewed 46,000 times total. And what really blows me away is my Slender Man illustration hit 5,000 views today and 570 favorites in it's first 19 days! That makes me want to pursue the other 2 Slender Man ideas I had.

And thanks to the deviant community for all the support and inspiration over the past couple of years. Thanks for all the comments and all the favorites. Every single one is appreciated!

This summer I finally joined facebook [link]

And recently I launched my portfolio site [link]

Overdue for an update. In July I illustrated my first cover for The Lovecraft eZine, issue #16

You can view it with the cover text treatment here: [link]

I recently illustrated the cover to #253 of The Drabblecast. You can listen to the excellent episode here: [link]
Thanks Bo!

  
I also created a personal piece (which I have yet to upload here as of this writing), which I am setting up to be available as a print offsite as well.

And I finally got around to setting up a facebook page a couple of months ago where you can see more of my art, sketches and some works in progress. [link]

Soon I plan on having my website up and running. It's just a thought right know. Still need to lay it out in my head first. As well as keeping busy with my monthly illustrations for the ever growing, Lovecraft eZine. [link]

I have a couple of other projects I plan on being a part of but I will save that stuff for another time. I may update those through the comments here.

Thanks for stopping by!

I want to share an interview from December 2011 from the Unspeakable Gibberer that begs the question: Am I a genius or bored psycho with art supplies? [link]
I love that headline! Thanks Dave for all the support you have thrown my way. I greatly appreciate it.

And I want to mention my recent involvement with the H.P. Lovecraft eZine. As its founder/editor Mike Davis puts it: It is a monthly online magazine devoted to Lovecraftian horror.  In addition to the monthly magazine, Mike blogs about all things Lovecraftian several times a week.

I illustrated my first piece for the eZine for a story written by Adam Bolivar entitled "The Time Eater" that appears in the November 2011 issue. [link]

Then I designed a special tentacled holiday web banner for the site, followed with an illustration for the December 2011 issue. A story written by Kelda Crich entitled "Stone City, Old as Immeasurable Time". [link]

I hope to contribute to the Lovecraft eZine as often as they will allow me to hang around. I have been a fan of Lovecraft's work since my early teenage years and I'm honored to have my art be a part of new Lovecraftian fiction.

It's fun stuff that keeps me busy late at night and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Of course I love weird stuff and who doesn't? The Unspeakable Gibberer [link] is a great site to find out what's going on in the world and web, all things weird. From real news to podcasts to video links.

I was contacted thru deviantART to create a web header for the site and I am very happy with the results.


Give the site a look and dabble in the world of the Unspeakable Gibberer! [link]

My favorite time of year is closing in... Autumn. There will be a chill in the air and that means no more days over 100 degrees!

I have a list of side projects I'm working on. I hope to get thru many of them over the next couple of months. I'll be posting most of them (if I like them ).

When you see them, let me know what you think!

In April I found a group that offered a challenge. A Dark Challenge.   

I decided to shake the rust off my photo-manipulating skills and got hooked again.   
I have entered in the Dark Art Challenges 3 months in a row and have been honored with winning the May and June challenges!

       

Along with sharpening my manip skills I have collected some cool prizes and my favorite so far has been the 3 stamps made for me by KornKidSam .   She picked 3 of my illustrations and I think they look amazing!

               

So if you like stamps with my weird art, here they are!

She also has a great stock account that I have used to create part of another of my deviants:   

Thank you KornKidSam!

Ha! I'm updating this just so my out dated log disappears.

I'll be updating my gallery with some more illustrations and photo manipulations within the week. I hope you like seeing weird stuff!

The last several months just flew by and I haven't logged on in months!

So much catching up to do. I should be uploading some more illustrations, photoshop work and pumpkin sculptures soon.
Yes, it's pumpkin season and that means it's time to dig out my carving tools and make a mess.

Stay tuned!

Summer is here and I'm happy to say that I'm keeping busy creating stuff. I'm sculpting, illustrating and playing with all the new features in photoshop CS5!

I'm working on a couple of fun projects that I should be posting before the end of summer and still wanting to upload some older work too.

I finally got around to uploading my 9 comic strips that I drew back in January for a 'Battle of the Strippers' thread on Worth1000. I hope someone gets a kick out of seeing them here too.

April 1st is the beginning of the new BOTS season and I would like to try something different but there is never enough time in a day!

One of my deviants has disappeared from my gallery but I have the link for it here:

Hope to have this back in my gallery quick. Thanks for stopping by!

I'll be posting a couple of cool commissioned t-shirt designs that I recently did soon. Stay tuned!
