All those big emotions we're taught to bottle up and not show because people get uncomfortable... What's worse than letting your feelings show, am I right? Yup, just keep them in there, even when they give you a splitting headache :)

Hail Santa! And his... festive goat?

If i was a black metal band this would be my official merch

I've been thinking about the word neurospicy... It implies there exists a kind of neuro spice... so I made a horror movie poster for it in hopes this word will stop haunting me.

Black Moon Lilith represents our “shadow selves”, everything we try to suppress and all that makes us vulnerable. It is the dark side of one’s personality.

This Halloween... THEY CARVE US! "Slayer Squash Inferno" is the best worst horror move never made!

Nothing like a witchy magical toad to start your day :)

Take a bite out of a poison apple this Halloween. I dare you...

It's another Tarot inspired design, this time it's a fake The Doctor card. It shows the plague doctor who treated victims of the bubonic plague. In the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, some doctors wore a beak-like mask which was filled with aromatic items. The masks were designed to protect them from putrid air, which (according to the miasmatic theory of disease) was seen as the cause of infection. I gave it the numer 911, because that's the number you're gonna call when in a need for a doctor, isn't it? :)

Good Mourning! Nosferatu here is enjoying his cup of B negative... but I'm more of a coffee fan myself...

"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" means: In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming. Another design dedicated to the great H.P. Lovecraft and his most famous character Cthulhu. I know this probably shouldn't look like a human skull, but I guess there's nothing like a skull to symbolize death. Anyway, hope you Lovecraftian freaks like this one :)

Is there a thing called ENOUGH COFFEE? This wasn't a rhetorical question, the answer is a resounding NO.

A skull with antlers can be a good home for some adorable frogs. Especially when it is decorated with moss and mushrooms - so cozy!

Who knew Rudolph was into black metal and occult stuff?

OK hear me out: Grim Reaper, but it's a pile of pumpkins / Jack O' Lanterns, but he's holding a lantern that is a SKULL! Ha! yeah... happy Halloween ;)

When Witches Go Riding and Black Cats Are Seen The Moon Laughs and Whispers 'Tis Near Halloween

My most surreal experience is the false awakening loop. Equally scary and fascinating. Exhausting. Freaky. Trippy. Weird.

This one has legs! Holey Sheet!

There is something spooky on my mind. Halloween should be every day!

She wants all the skulls. But none of the meaty icky stuff :)

You know how September is a start of a pumpkin obsession... but also a great time to go to the beach... This pumpkin butt bikini-wearing demon loves it all :)

A bit of a homage to Magritte. I love surrealism.

Trippy chonky bois blissfully floating around a skull. If that's not perfection, don't know what is ;)

Got my mind on my candy and my candy on my mind ;)

Doomsday clock inspired design. I tried to incorporate three areas of focus: Nuclear Risk (check out the eye), Climate Change (clouds and dead tree) and Disruptive Technology (check out the land on which the skull-hourglass is standing on).

A heart with wings... how cool is that!

Lon Chaney's horrific, self-applied makeup was kept secret right up until the film's premiere. Not a single photograph of Chaney as The Phantom was published in a newspaper or magazine or seen anywhere before the film opened in theaters.

This stag beetle stares into your soul. Creepy.

Based on a vintage anatomy drawing and a very weird dream about sunflowers.

Sometimes it's easier to communicate with art and flowers. Black Dahlia flower represents dark emotions, like anger, sadness, and betrayal... and this cross has no business in a woman's body. That's all I have to say about that.

The pain will subside... or become a part of you.

Did you know that poppy plants can kill you? The alkaloids in them are extremely toxic and can cause convulsions, asphyxiation, and death. But they sure are pretty...

Did you know flowers make your teeth hurt in spring and summer? It's a thing, look it up.

Open your mind. Create a universe. Whatever.

Ghosts like the beach too :)

Is this the creepiest piece of cursed pumpkin pie you've ever seen? There are some dark forces and real black magic in the works here... sooo spooky! Would you eat a pie with many eyes? Beware: If you eat it, you'll talk only in stupid puns, like EYES ON THE PIES! This one is a real fall/food/Halloween conversation starter, for sure.
