Pyres of Samhain. 2006. Digital mixed medium. Did this on a whim and it turned out to be one of my most popular pieces for a couple years.
Pyres of Samhain. 2006. A lone abandoned shack in the woods. The sky is illuminated by unseen fire. The moon hangs low in the sky.

This is a bit different thematically for me, but was really fun to do.

Don't Need Sunscreen at the Vertual Beach. Digital mixed medium.2025.
A fem presenting human is dressed in Goth clothing and wearing sunglasses while walking at the shoreline. Everything is in blues, pinks with some yellows and greens, and looks glitchy and somehow digitized.

Final Cut. 2009. Digital mixed medium. A lone barber chair covered in blood sites in an old dilapidated prison cell. A roof skylight casts a bit of light on the chair. The floor just beneath the chair is covered in blood.

My art / the inspiration
The Godeaters. Digital mixed medium. 2025. Six shadowy human figures are standing in a red mist. The two in the foreground have glowing red eyes. A planet can be seen in the sky. Scene from the film Mandy of the biker gang The Black Skulls. They are parked on their motorcycles in a row on a dirty road during the night. Scene from the film Near Dark of the gang of vampires standing in a row on a small hill. They are backlit.

Radiate The Shadow. Digital mixed medium. 2010.

This and the accompanying piece Curse The Chemical were for a cancer research charity art event. Both were done with input from a friend and my mom on the mental and physical impact of cancer treatment. Tough subject, but they wanted it represented.
Radiate The Shadow. Digital mixed medium. 2010. An emaciated, decaying human in pain is facing left. The back of their head is rupturing and brain is bubbling out. Parts are engulfed in flames.

Pyres of Samhain. Digital mixed medium. 2006. A lone abandoned two story stone farmhouse in the woods on an autumn night. The sky is partially overcast and the moon looms large. The clouds are illuminated by unseen fires.

Being chronically sick like this isn't some romanticized Hallmark movie plot. It's my life with debilitating chronic illnesses. DE-BIL-I-TAT-ING. Look the word up in a frigging dictionary.

STAT News: 'I have long Covid. Don’t call my chronic disease a ‘journey’

I have long Covid. Don’t call my chronic disease a ‘journey’
A “journey” is something you choose. No one chooses chronic illness.

a fantasy map depicting a hell. from the top to the bottom: there's a submarine city of strange towers and glass domes connected to a giant computer in the midst of reefs. a river and a lake goes south from this city in the midst of some ruins, ending on a big dam from where a timid river flows through a desert canyon. beyond the desert, there's another stretch of sea separating it from another city at the end of the map. there are planets hovering above this landscape: the remains of mars and a primeval earth covered in lava, fumes, guns and forts.

Perfect way to subliminally earworm everyone at the goth night with that one song about releasing some bats.

This is just around the corner from our block. As soon as it blazed the neighborhood knew it was most likely arson. The fact an investment firm is somehow tied to all of this is also unsurprising to us.
inquirer.com Philadelphia Inquirer @inquirer.com · 1d
Two days before a West Philly apartment complex went up in flames, its owner, embattled city landlord Phil Pulley, transferred the vacant property to a New York investment firm.

Here's the latest on the suspected arson case:
Landlord Phil Pulley transferred ownership of West Philly apartments days before suspected arson, records show
Property records show the notorious landlord signed a deed transfer two days before the June 2025 fire. The new owners are now demolishing the building.
