Artist Brett Kelley's Pumpkin Pin

Do you like Halloween stuff AND supporting independent artists? 

Brett Kelley, a friend of mine who's a prolific artist located in Western Massachusetts, USA, has just launched a Kickstarter to create these wicked cool enamel pins based on his original illustration of a bat-winged jack o'lantern! His original run of these pins sold out in TWO DAYS and he's raising the funds needed to release more color variations. You can support this project by clicking the pic below, and get your very own FlapJack pin! The funding is well under way and runs til 6th March, 2022.

Brett Kelley is an amazing illustrator, and you can check out more of his art on his Facebook page and Instagram feed.

Horror Movie Posters I've Made

My brother is an independent horror filmmaker, and I have a standing offer with him to design posters for any movies he makes. 

In the past few years, he's made a feature length film, Falling Angel (2018, 53 mins), and just recently, a 6-minute short called Window of Darkness (2021) that he's entered into several short horror film events.

Here are the posters I made!

(As of this post, Falling Angel isn't available to watch online)

    For the most part I do intend for this blog to be non-commercial, but as a freelance artist it does help to bring in a few bucks here & there to help me cover costs of doing business, and I'd rather do this than run 3rd-party ads. Plus it gives me a chance/excuse to show off more of my art. 

Late-night doodling

 It was too hot to do much of anything but exist. I did manage to digitally clean up a small doodle/drawing I did last night in the wee hours. 

I haven't drawn much for awhile but lately I've been getting the urge. I also finally purchased a proper scanner, so this time I can't give the excuse that "I don't have a scanner to scan my artwork anyways." It's been 5 years since I moved here and it's about time I bought one.

Besides, I just found some of my old photos (mid-late 90s) of Halloween-related things that I haven't seen since I packed them up before I moved. Can't wait to scan & share those too.
