Hello, bsky!
I'm Jeffrey, a queer and genderqueer multidisciplinary artist operating out of Kansas City, MO, USA.

I'm a jeweler, a novelist, an illustrator, a photographer, an occult blogger, and a public ritualist.

You can find my links in my profile (above) and in the thread below.

Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got

- scam machine
- psychosis inducing machine
- weapons of mass destruction
- button you push that makes the planet hotter
- markets that intentionally starve people
- clothes that fall apart after washing them 1 time
- medicine you can’t afford

Cast sterling silver skulls with polished garnet chips hanging where their necks should be. These tiny skulls cast wildly unreliably, meaning that each piece is uniquely and interestingly damaged and deformed

incidentally, this portrait of Dee (one of the characters in the book) may be the best portrait i have ever drawn

the pencils were even better

Dee grew up on the mountain, running wild in the woods. She had never met the visitors to that hunting cabin before that strange cold night in July, but her life would never be the same after….

novel cover featuring a dark green photo of Missouri woodland. text reads "Ozark Mountain Nightmare" by "JS Groves"

oh, fuck yeah

JS Groves @satyrmagos.bsky.social · 3h

my best guess is that the deck was in the room when some kind of poltergeist activity went down, and that he and/or whoever else was in the room (it's hard to get that scared by yourself) blamed the deck

and, i mean, i have BEEN there and DONE that

but i don't actually know

5/5 (fin)

JS Groves @satyrmagos.bsky.social · 3h

we were barely talking when he dropped that off with me, and we haven't actually spoken, since

so i still don't know what happened

it just sits on the shelf with all my other tarot decks

years later

sometimes i still give it the side-eye, waiting for something to jump out

JS Groves @satyrmagos.bsky.social · 3h

nothin

nothing happened. no vibes at all off the box, the deck, the book

it was just ... that poor dude's fear, wrapped up in all that plastic and foil

JS Groves @satyrmagos.bsky.social · 3h

finally, we've got in unwrapped. we're ready for armageddon

JS Groves @satyrmagos.bsky.social · 3h

we unwrapped the thing one night

every layer we peeled off let loose more and worse vibes

we were half expecting the lights to start flickering, mirrors to start breaking

what the fuck was going on with this thing?

it didn't come with a story

not really

just, "it's haunted"

2/

JS Groves @satyrmagos.bsky.social · 3h

probably the craziest thing I have is an official Sandman tarot card boxed set that was given to me because "it was haunted"

dude had it wrapped up in, like, alternating layers of saran wrap and aluminum foil

all wrapped up, the vibes were *RANCID*

so i called in my whole crew

This is Clio. She did not study for the test today. Also does not know how to read. 12/10 (IG: paspastotoro)

a black and gray long-haired yorkiepoo sits at a desk in a university classroom. a piece of paper lays on the desk in front of her, her paws propped up on the desk as if she's bracing herself. there are students in the background hunched over and working on paper in front of them. the pup looks at the camera with a concerned side eye. she's realizing she probably should have read some of the homework before eating it.

A digital drawing of my oc Zinthra on bright pinkish red background. She's a woman with ash-blue skin, dressed in gray and black clothes - a hat, veil that cover the upper part of her face, coat, vest, pants and gloves. She's wielding a sword with one hand, with the other she seems to be applying some magic to the weapon. Behind her there is a giant snake, in a ready to attack pose.
