Four blue crows sat on a branch. The third one is actually not blue, but wearing a knitted blue jumper so he fits in! Found family has my soul okay.

“If I Could Leave Eskew”

#horrorpodcast #thesiltverses #iamineskew #comicart #digitalart

Comic page inspired by the horror podcast ‘I Am In Eskew’. The centre panel shows David Ward sat outside his flat door, head in his hands. Around him are isolated panels, surrounded by rain which crosses the borders of several panels. In these panels are the following, top to bottom: the cityscape, a lightbulb, David with the reflection of the ‘crack in the world’ in his eyes, a bright blue beetle, tiles with a snapshot of a sign which reads ‘gallery’, some puddles, and finally David looking down and saying ‘If I Could Leave Eskew’.

The colour scheme of the peace is mostly greens and blues, with some bright oranges here and there.

Little pocket prints of the day, including another horror podcast The Black Tapes and some cute flowers.

Photograph of four small Lino prints. The top is a stamp with a flower inside it. The second is a VHS tape with ‘Strand Institute’ on it. The third is the ‘mr spider’ print. The last is a tea bag with a heart on its label.

A lino stamp for Mr Spider

#themagnusarchives #horrorpodcast #linocut

Photograph of a Lino stamp and its print, featuring a spider wearing a top hat, sat on top of a tape recorder with its tape pulled out and tangled. It is very small, about the size of a thumb.

Also I know that Hayward is cooking a pancake not an egg but I didn’t want to draw a pancake for Aesthetic reasons so I’m retconning it. Im sorry mr ware

I did cry when I reread the transcript to check the lines lol

And here’s the line art

Same comic as the main post, without colour. Shows off the shading lines and details of the sketch.

Finished this piece inspired by one of my favourite scenes from The Silt Verses. The way it so artfully pauses to let us look back at the characters progress, and everything just 🤌

#horrorpodcast #thesiltverses #comicart

Comic of Season 3 Chapter 3 of The Silt Verses. The top panel features Hayward, looking down. The next features Carpenter sat at a table in a ramshackle kitchen. The last is Carpenter crying.

The text reads:
C - Do you remember my accomplice, Hayward?
H - The lorry thief?
C - I loved that boy like the brother I lost. And he turned on me to save his own skin. Hesitated for a second. Maybe one second. That was what he gave me.

This is the case for all sticker sheets btw - I’ll be returning to sticker packs unless I miraculously can afford a cricut machine which isn’t happening)

kaz-michael || comms open @kazmichaelart.bsky.social · 24d

Update… only one left

I have been considering discontinuing these as sticker sheets and bringing back sticker sets instead (easier to produce because I have to hand cut them) so if you are emotionally set on having a sheet then this may be your last chance

kaz-michael || comms open @kazmichaelart.bsky.social · Aug 29

There’s only two left of these guys I’m so happy y’all like them ☺️☺️☺️

kaz-michael || comms open @kazmichaelart.bsky.social · Aug 18
