New Friends

 Critters gather in my yard sometimes. Everything else is well mowed, sprayed, and little food can be found. I like to keep a bit of my yard wild, and it makes all the difference. These two showed up on the same night, and I hope to see them return often. The children of the night just want to eat and be safe, I will help if I can. I hope you will too. 

Nightmare Spider

 This time we are getting really creepy. Most of what I draw and paint is pretty tame and not very frightening. I am always trying to improve on that. This creature is pretty frightening. It used the mummified skin and bones of its prey for a kind of shell and place to hide in wait of prey. When prey gets near, it leaps up and attacks. For some reason I imagine that the webbing of the creature is a dull black and hard to see in dark caverns, as well as powerful enough to ensnare a grown man. 

Halloween 2025

 Last year I was paid to decorate a yard for Halloween. This photo is a part of that project. I will try to find more. 

The Gay Blade of Frito Lay

 The last, for now, of our Frito Lay figure inspired illustrations.

The Gay Blade. 

Who seems to be an executioner. This type of subject was a common theme in this era of horror.

Nosferatu

I think I have painted Nosferatu like vampires more than any other monster. 

 

Harry Scary

 

Harry Scary is our next Frito Lay figure. I guess he is a werewolf with real big ears.... I don't know. Drawing him was fun. I hope you like it. Only one more to go. I do not own any of the other three yet, so I do not have them to use for reference. Stay tuned for The Gay Blade...Is that really what he is called? 

Yep. 

CROWS

 I have started building a relationship with the local crows. I have always loved wildlife and wanted to connect with them. I have seeing them gathering under the old maple tree in my front yard to eat the corn I have provided. Once they have gotten familiar with me, I plan to incorporate them in my yard haunt. I am going to put food in a custom built corpse to make it look like they are eating him. 

ALL ARE WELCOME!

 Please join me for spooky shenanigans!

TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE

“Man lives in the sunlit world of what he believes to be reality. But … there is — unseen by most — an underworld. A place that is just as real, but not as brightly lit — a Darkside.”

And now so does my water bottle. I am pretty happy with my TFTDS Ep JACK O LANTERN STICKER. I think they are going to prove to be really durable. Many more fun things to come at my STORE.
