Here are some more pages from Decomposer, a graphic novel that I've been doing the artwork for. We have a Kickstarter up at the moment where we're 90% funded so I'd really appreciate if you would check the page out and consider helping us hit our goal. Thanks!

digital painting - the view of a hallway from inside a room. an adjacent door stands slightly ajar, darkness inside. the lamp in this room illuminates a pair of glasses on the floor. a hot mug of something sits on a nearby dresser

Cynics online will tell you the only way to achieve this feeling is hard drugs or alcohol or manic dissociation, but I'm here to tell you it's possible to feel this way in a perfectly natural, sober state by doing just one thing, and that thing is killing

You can't just post candle without describing in luscious detail the memories that the aroma invokes, ffs

Nothing has quite so effectively illustrated to me that I need to be alone at work than that one time everyone was out at once and I was alone at work

The lamp tilt in this scene turned Jerry from a goofy moron into something really menacing, the blood relation to ruthless Ben becoming apparent. Love it.

We report: come March, the moon starts moving out of range of our window, and it becomes a bit more difficult to seek it out. Even then, it is impossible to miss the way the sky becomes brighter and brighter every night in its waxing. Tonight, we lean far over the windowsill.

Every once in a while I think "pretty people who make pretty art should pay an extra tax or something, it's not fair," but then I remember I've known several people like this IRL, and they all have this genuine magnetism that makes you wonder why you'd ever think something so mean about them

Had a pretty good day today so I figure this is caused in large part by just being at work

Anyway, fuck capitalism, bosses hang, etc. If anyone you love was ruined it was probably because of this shit
