Every single day for the past 2 months has felt like, “oh nice, today’s a day that I can focus on drawing,” but then procrastination and obligations collide and… no drawing.

Two months of not drawing for pleasure 😭

Hoops I must jump through for Unemployment (I got laid off back in Sept.) involve watching training videos on being a good interview (actually helpful) and then recording myself answering the selected questions so that an AI bot can grade me on varied criteria. It feels like a new circle of hell.

#Halloweek countdown continues with another #GraveyardGuy . This one has settled on a vintage #BenCooper mask for his costume.

Counting down #Halloweek with the very first Graveyard Guy I drew.
#Halloween is 3 days away and there’s no stopping it.

I don’t know about anyone else, but the shittiness of traffic driving home ALWAYS outweighs the good time of going out for me.

Now that I have secured theatrical tix for GDT's #Frankenstein , it's time to remember PENNY DREADFUL's Harry Treadaway (love a Victorian goth boy with eye makeup) and his twin brother, Luke.

I kind of hate that thing where people snap their fingers instead of clapping. Who decided that was cool?
It looks patronizing.

Two weeks until #Halloween and I’m doing a terrible job creating or posting any new work.

Smoking is gross & inexcusable in 2025 with decades of scientific evidence confirming the health dangers, but being around someone who’s vaping is a close 2nd in regards to pure disgustingness.

Sneaking hits off your vape at an indoor venue is both sad and rude.

Dear Hollywood execs, why can I see bare breasts and ‘70s bush on both a female corpse and an invalid old woman, but I can’t see #CharlieHunnam hanging dong?

I don’t think you’re trying to sexualize a serial killer nearly hard enough.

Unsolicited #HotTake for record labels:

Releasing a #Halloween season #vinyl that doesn’t ship UNTIL October 31st defeats the purpose.

Candelabra ✅
Semi-sheer nightgown ✅

This is my jam.
A little Mia Goth-ic, from Del Toro's upcoming Frankenstein.

The official #NightStage movie Instagram page reposted my review of the film!
It’s hands-down (my pants!) my favorite film of #FantasticFest and I recommend seeking it out.

Holy fucking shit #FantasticFest , just walked out of the shorts screening because 3 out of the 5 I saw featured more animal deaths.
I’m so not down with that, but they’re coming for me in force now.
