Pssst…if anyone is into witches, occult history, and also keeping track of important dates, I have a calendar for you!

The “Witches Through History” 2025 wall calendar is available now! There’s an Amazon 🔗 in my bio (it’s on sale!) but you can also get it at B&N and numerous other retailers 🗓️🖤🔮

Image of a calendar on a red background, featuring a triple-headed witch crowned with stars in front of a full moon.

Illustration of Hecate, the goddess of witchcraft, along with a calendar clipping of November 2025, and a Hecate and triple moon sticker.

Image of a collage of occult and witchcraft-themed stickers featured in the Witches Through History wall calendar.

Image of two calendar spreads. The first features a January 2025 spread with Macbeth’s witches The Weird Sisters, and the other is a June 2025 spread featuring Lilith, the first witch/she-demon from Judaic lore.

Woke up in a Purple mood today, so here's some purple-ish things.

I love cool colors, but I should use purple shades more often. I always like them after I try em, but then rarely use them again 🤷‍♂️ #darkart #gothicart #purple #darkfantasyart

While I’m here, here’s a #MeetTheArtist I made for my birthday…back in February 😅 A bit late, but hey I still look the same #darkart #darkartist #gothartist #gothicart #horrorartist #illustrator

I just really can’t keep up with so many social medias, my brain will not allow it. There’s too much all the time. And most of my following is on IG (unfortunately) so that’s usually where I am ✌🏻

…Hey Bluesky 👋🏻
It’s been like…five months? But here’s a new pic for proof of life. I’m neck deep in work at the moment, so I don’t have a lot of energy for new personal artwork. (I should prob share more older pieces here again.) Anyway, hope y’all are well 🖤

Thank you so much! I’m glad you like it, and that the strange eerie-ness comes across well, that’s the vibe I was aiming for 😆🤘🏻🖤

I was on the train yesterday, listening to Ethel Cain, and this popped into my head. So now it exists 😆🐺 And I specifically did not look up a proper dog reference so it would look a little messed up...because sometimes doing something from memory is more fun. #darkart #horrorart #illustration

The Gloaming Witch, the Gloaming Witch
All withers where she walks
The Gloaming Witch, the Gloaming Witch
The ground shakes when she talks

The Gloaming Witch, the Gloaming Witch
Beware when sun descends
The Gloaming Witch, the Gloaming Witch
Will surely bring your end

𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔊𝔩𝔬𝔞𝔪𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔚𝔦𝔱𝔠𝔥

The Gloaming Witch, the Gloaming Witch
In black and tattered veil
The Gloaming Witch, the Gloaming Witch
At sundown does she wail

The Gloaming Witch, the Gloaming Witch
With eyes of fog and flame
The Gloaming Witch, the Gloaming Witch
She always knows your name

(Continued 👇🏻)

Currently my main thing is 100 push ups either every day or every other day. Just to keep things moving, since I’m always just sitting at home to make art for work

I’m getting back into a very informal at-home exercise routine this year - cliché I know - but I started up again today and it feels great. I fell out of it hard at the end of 2024 (also wasn’t feeling very creative) but we’re getting it back 🙌🏻🖤🤘🏻 Also, does this count as a thirst trap?
