Feels good to be back at it. This is my first big piece of art in a while, repurposed from an unused commission concept into a faux pulp-horror cover. 🍊🩸

I’ve been heads-down building my new website, which is almost done! Look for more silly, nerdy shit to come.

New Inktober sticker! Hand-drawn, hand-lettered, and proudly human-made. Also, tried out some of the new @kyletwebster.bsky.social @procreate.com brushes!

Fresh sticker drop for Inktober! I just watched KPop Demon Hunters for the first time and got instantly obsessed with Sussie, the three-eyed bird—so of course I had to draw them.

Thank you so much!

Also, I think this is the first time I’ve used one of these mushroom dudes in my work. They’ve kinda litter the margins of my sketchbook lately.

Forgot to post this here a few days ago—This year I’m switching things up and making little sticker designs instead of traditional drawings. No set theme—just random ideas as they come to me. I’ll be posting every other day, and I’m trying a variety of digital techniques this year. #inktober

Inktober round two and it’s clear my stickers are going to be all over the place this year. This one’s an idea I’ve had in my back pocket for a while—and yeah, it kind of speaks for itself.

RIP Ozzy

Kyle Rose @mrkylerose.bsky.social · Jul 22

My heart goes out to his family, friends and the entire metal community.
Rest in peace sweet prince of darkness.

Kyle Rose @mrkylerose.bsky.social · Jul 22

I started listening to Ozzy and Sabbath very young and can't remember a time before. He shaped how I view the world and how I make art. It would be an
understatement to say he's one of the most important influences on my life as he was for millions of others.

Kyle Rose @mrkylerose.bsky.social · Jul 22

I am beyond heartbroken.
Very few artists have impacted my life as profoundly as Ozzy. No matter how dark things got, the sound of his voice has always felt like coming home.

Kyle Rose @mrkylerose.bsky.social · Jul 17

New Switch, who dis?

Kyle Rose @mrkylerose.bsky.social · Jul 13

#Superman was fucking Phenomenal and wonderfully earnest.

After a couple a decade of grim dark or snarky superhero movies it's such a breath of fresh joyful air.

Also loved that it leaned into the wacky sci-fi elements and took them as matter of fact as the comics.

Kyle Rose @mrkylerose.bsky.social · Jul 12

About to see #Superman and I couldn’t be more excited. LFG!

Kyle Rose @mrkylerose.bsky.social · Jul 12

Also, two movies in one week!? I haven’t done this since before the pandemic!

Hey Brooklyn friends! Looking for personal recommendations for a tattoo studio. I’m planning on getting a series of strictly black and white, mostly from direct reference with fine line details and/or lettering. Would prefer to find one place I can keep going to. Any suggestions?

Kyle Rose @mrkylerose.bsky.social · Jul 11

Fuuuuuuck this was soooo good. Love how it both mirrored the first movie in a lot of ways but also felt like a counter point. In addition to continuing the narrative, it’s in conversation with the first thematically, emotionally and philosophically. Plus just a damn good horror flick!

"i have these snapshots in my head, and it's not a photographic memory, like 'i remember the exact shot', it's 'i remember that exact -feeling-'" is pretty much how i do everything too -- really great long interview with Jaime Hernandez here: youtu.be/EHgmA8hiX-w?...

I've been really quiet recently. Hard at work on something big. Exciting things coming soon...
