Check out my illustration for "The Last Leaves" by Derek Wentz! http://lovecraftzine.com/magazine/issues/2015-2/issue-36-autumn-2015/the-last-leaves-by-derek-wentz/

This was designed for Black Sabbath Ressurection and Lone Ones fashion brand originally based in Aoyama. Design was approved by the O man himself. 

I designed this shirt for K-1 fighter Musashi some years ago. 

Here's an infographic I made that talks about how certain forms of literature and art are victims of snobbery and elitism when they are just as valid as any other. When I get some time, I need to make a few edits and additions, but overall I'm pretty pleased with it.

There might be a digital one in there as well.

I thought I would share some of the artwork (sans dialog) I did for the Silver Skull book available here . This is the story of El Muerto Jr., son of a great luchadore and secret super hero.

I know tons of people who outright hate horror movies and tons of those who dismiss them or never bother watching them. Well "Housebound" (2014) now on Netflix is one of those movies that shouldn't be dismissed.  My advice is to stop reading this now - especially if you're the kind of person that easily discovers spoilers in non-spoiler reviews - and just go watch this work of art.
