Here is a pair of demons I created to have Morbid Angel fight in a short comic book page sequence for my portfolio.

Featured Creature: Key of Vz

I must tender my apologies this week.  I've been struggling the past two weeks with summer migraines and I've gotten rather behind on things.  There is a piece of fiction coming for this piece that I will post soon.  Until then, please enjoy the gruesome mystery of the Key of Vz.

New Abstract: The Altar of His Command

His presence precedes him.

New Abstract: Red Wizard Meditation

In the womb of deep earth,
the hearthfire is gently stoked.
In the flickering,
ghosts of the future are seen.

Preview: Storage 24

I actually watched the full movie of this one recently.  It was alright.  I have always kind of been afraid of storage facilities.  All those repeating corridors.  eep.

Featured Creature: Chaska of the Chaldean Abyss

Excerpt from Liam Hofstadter's report for the Department of Extranormal Phenomena (DEP), Superhuman and Supernatural Threats in the New Millennium:

"The Vykhrova Prirvu is a magickal container said to contain a portal to the whirling abyss.  Highly prized within the occult community, it grants its bearer a variety of powerful effects.  Adept mages use these containers to absorb spells cast at them by opposing wizards.  Any mage in possession of such an item is said to be nearly unstoppable.  The spells for creating such an artifact are complex and costly, but the gain to the bearer is by far worth the effort as the magus becomes impervious to magickal attack.

New Abstract: Within the Forest of Flames

 

New Abstract: Devestation Sentinel

Patrolling the razor wire perimeters of the seas of blood, it dispatches those unwary souls who cross its borders.

Skin Crawling Comics Update 05.30.13

I finished the colors for "Buried" for the Skin Crawling Comics anthology earlier this week.  I must say it has been excellent experience.  Everyone has been super supportive of my endless questions and they genuinely seem to like my work.

This has been a bit of a revelation for me concerning being a colorist for comics.  It's an aspect of comic book work that I've only dipped my toes in this year.  It seems to be ideally suited to my point of view and approach to art.  Coloring requires one of my favorite tools, Photoshop, and the essence of it, mixing color, is something I do for recreation.  I'd never considered it before as an entry point into comics.  Who knew.  I've loved every minute! 

Enough about me though, here is another recent interview on FanboyComics about Skin Crawling Comics with Gerald Rathkolb and Danielle Gransaull for their story "The Night Market".  See more Gerald's work at Anime World Order Podcast  and more of Danielle's work at Life With Death.

Return in Red Trailer

Return in Red is one of my favorite low budgets horror films.  It has some excellent eerie scenes and a very creepy premise.

UPDATE: The Featured Creature Gallery

I've just updated the Featured Creature Gallery with a fresh coat of text.  I've also restructured the slideshow so that the posts show in reverse sequential order.  Hopefully this will make viewing easier and now you won't have to wade through all the older images to see the latest piece.  Thanks for viewing! 

New Gallery: Psyche Delectus Tenebrarum

I've neglected my abstract work for some time and feel it needs a little TLC.  I realized that the Featured Creature shouldn't get all the gallery action at Zombie Bites, so I'm constructing a gallery for my psychedelic abstract works.  It is in the baby stages of construction at this point, so it's a little rough around the edges.
