not related to paroxysm but certainly fun to come across.

Working on my project for Volume 5 of Paroxysm Horror Anthology (published by @mystopress.bsky.social) and found my notes and storyboards for my first go around in Volume 2: Possession with my experimental comic project, “The Path”, which you should totally read.

Sketchbook pages by Danielle Draik of their comic, “The Path”. Hurried storyboard doodles and notes.

My dear @artofddraik.bsky.social
Thank you so much for this weird little beloved buddy. We call him "Monsti das Monster" He's made himself comfortable in his bowl bed with his favorite chopsticks. His favorite picture at our place is the one with the UFOs. He practically lives in it.
