Thank you for the inspiration!
I always gotta give luv to the #ScareActor community.

...And, well, when we're in An Age where we DAILY have to ask "Is this An Onion Headline?" we might as well sling coin to our Cassandras:

#California: Mail-in ballots are out for the Special Election on November 4.

Know this: When you seem to see a ~5+:1 ratio on mailers and YouTube ads for a certain side of a Proposition, that's evidence of rich people engaging in fuckery against you.

So vote Yes on Proposition 50.

This #SpookySeason I commissioned Justin McElroy [@thoughtographic.bsky.social] to do a portrait of my #ScaryFarm character "'Shackles' the Prisoner."
I love how his linework evokes a Scholastic Book Fair gem of a Horror Anthology for kids, one I would peruse, gasp at, run from, & ultimately buy.

Damn, I love that this exists.

UPDATE: All the 8x10 prints of "The Conductor" are now sold out! Unprecedented! Thanks to all of you who purchased them. I hope to be included in the 2026 "Into the Fog" Gallery Show, so please be on the lookout next year for any announcements.

#IntoTheFog #ScaryFarm #KnottsScaryFarm

Thank you so much! I just hope that whoever purchased the original painting will hit it with a blacklight so that the UV-reactive colors and Glow-in-the-Dark traintrack frame border really get illuminated. (Secret Detail: the eye pupils of the Conductor also glow in the dark!)

Shockingly decent! I'm getting used to laboring under the yoke. (...oh no?)
I got surprised by being dragooned onto the Boo-Fet Meet & Greet gig, which seems incongruous to promoting a robust appetite among the diners when a miserable wretch like "Shackles the Prisoner" shambles about the premises.

Speaking of #KnottsScaryFarm, my Black Velvet painting of "The Conductor" is on display at the #IntoTheFog Gallery Show inside the park. The original just sold! I only want whoever purchased it to know to hit it with a blacklight to really make it pop!
(Non-UV) 8x10 prints still on sale!
#ScaryFarm

Tonight! I return as "Shackles" the Tortured Prisoner at Knott's Scary Farm. I'll be in the region of K'Ampsnu-Pai, in the town of Helshire, colloquially known as "The Gauntlet."

If you see him, be nice, he's having a rough night.

My Battle Cry is the Sad Trombone sound.

"Prince of Darkness" is pure alchemy. If you had some fifth-graders make a super spooky video on VHS it would visually be the same as the "T̶̜̙͔͓̱̩̮̹̺̈́́̋̚h̸͉̦̞̠̀̒̑̆͝į̴͚̄ş̴̘͈̪͔̅͊̃͌͒ ̷̨͖̬̺̱̈́͗͗̽̐̆͜͝í̷̹͎͔̉̾̊͘͝ş̶͐͊́́̉̚ ̶̖͍͓̩̳̘͙͓͗ń̸̞̼͙̏o̵̺̬̘̯̦̓̓̓͠ț̸̼̬̙͛̾̓̏̔̌̈̂̎͠ ̶̳͍͍̘͕̼͈̘̲͑̍ä̶̢̧̱͍͇̳̺̻̦́͌̀̐̊̉̚̚͝ ̸̪͙̫͌̐̉̏ḏ̴̩̙͍̲̹͍̳͎͛́̇̀͘͘ȑ̴̡̳̜͓͚̝̻͈̤̰͋͋͗̂̽̂͑͘͝ě̴̹͚̦͎̓̃̋̚a̸̟̹̥̟̰̭̾̓̑̅ḿ̸̰̤̹̰̭̺̼͑̉̇̄.̷̢̧͕͓̟͍̲̑̕" sequence, but the Concept and Audio Design makes it genuinely a teeth-grinding icon.

I wish I had a "GURPS MENTIONED" meme ready to go for occasions like this, but, honestly, how often does that ever happen?
For the record, I will buy GURPS worldbooks On. Sight.

That song is inspiring enough to be the source of my Social Media handle here.
I keep hoping there's ultimately going to be a "Nature Trail to Hell" house at a venue like "Halloween Horror Nights." I actually got my Art Department gig from pitching that in 2012: naturetrailtohellin3d.blogspot.com

Age Verification: I've rebanded the arm on a VEMCO Drafting Machine, and used the Leroy Lettering Set professionally.

The #Halloween Haunt Attractions have already started up, so I'm calling it: it's officially Spooky Season.

Here are new #FezFriday photos, promoting my friend's business of making quality handcrafted headwear: fez-o-rama.com . Pics taken at the Mystic Museum in Burbank, CA.

I had the good fortune to get tickets to see true buckaroo Chuck Tingle tonight on the final stop of his "Lucky Day" Book Tour. His previous bestseller, "Bury Your Gays," was alarmingly prescient about Hollywood meddling with AI with horrific results.

#BookSky #ChuckTingle @chucktingle.bsky.social

See, now THIS is a "marketing stunt" that gets me in the theaters. It worked! And you know what?
It's fun! Campy, crass, actual LOL parts, inspirational, and ...good? All the actors are All In, and there's actual scenes that hold their own in tragic absurdist cinema.

It got weird.
