Um…it appears I’ve been shortlisted in the Best Artist Category of the British Fantasy Awards? Well that’s exciting! Thanks to whomever put me forward. britishfantasysociety.org/british-fant...

A special shout out to @gregchapman.bsky.social who designed the many of the logos and concepts for StokerCon 2026 you’ll see used. Greg does design work for the HWA and for its many chapters. Thank you, Greg for all that you do!

This is the house where I grew up. Where my imagination flourished. Where I drew really bad stapled together comics inspired by books and Saturday morning cartoons and Doctor Who. This is where I came from.

Couple of new pre-made covers. Love playing around with esoteric, pagan themes. Old gods rising from their slumber.

Got hit up by an author who wants to use one of my illustrations for his cover and a request for some art/graphics for the Australasian Horror Writers Association. Nice start to the week.

Some more horrible sketches…

"Killer" art. See what I did there? :P

My available short story collections! Links in the comments

Fresh artwork

Bit of a milestone. Went into Dymocks Chermside to check out their horror section and found two copies of Black Days and Bloody Nights on the shelf! So I signed them. If you are after signed copies of my latest collection why not pop in?

My latest piece of cover art for @ifwgpublishing.bsky.social

100 coloured pencils for $25! But I’ll probably only use these three 😀

This one’s called “Asunder”. Aquarelle graphite pencil and gouache on paper.

Pen and ink and marker zombie drawing

My writing has been stolen by Meta. More than likely my art as well to train their accursed AI LibGen bullshit. I’m gonna be hanging out here a lot more.

Some recent adventures with ink and photoshop

Trying out some new markers…

I’m excited to announce I’m co-editing a Halloween themed anthology for @blackbeaconbooks.bsky.social blackbeaconbooks.blogspot.com/2025/01/anth...

Stay tuned this weekend for news of a secret project I’m going to be working on this year. Here’s a sneak peek…

Please remember to credit your cover artists when doing the big cover reveal. With all the AI slop out there real artists and designers need to be seen now more than ever.

Keep writing, keep painting, keep making films. We need more artists and fewer soulless billionaires.

It's alive! Black Days and Bloody Nights - the evil twin of the award-winning Midnight Masquerade, has emerged from the darkness to haunt you all. Currently available in digital format from your favourite bookstore! mybook.to/blackdaysblo...

Super chuffed to come home and find this waiting for me. My own little tombstone! My Australasian Shadows Award for “Midnight Masquerade”. This is my first award so it’s very special. Thanks to the award judges, the Australasian Horror Writers Association and of course my publisher IFWG Publishing.

What’s the one horror movie you could watch on repeat? Mine’s “John Carpenter’s The Thing”.

Is it too much to ask that I have 365 horror themed tshirts for everyday of the year? Apparently so…

Don’t worry, be happy

Being a writer and artist is a huge part of my identity not simply a “hobby”. My books and art are me.

A recent self portrait 🙂

NEW EPISODE KLAXON: We've got an interview with Bram Stoker Award-winning designer and author, @gregchapman.bsky.social. Greg talks us through his creative journey, what motivates him, his thoughts on the AI and creativity debate, working with clients vs creating your own work, and much more.

It’s Valentine’s Day

Was feelin crafty today so I decided to start a zombie head. Got some plastic bags and the heat gun and got to work.

Apologies for the lack of posts. Busy, busy, busy! To say sorry here’s a look at my cover for my next collection coming this December.

Massive thanks to @gregchapman.bsky.social for chatting with me for @allcreativesnow.bsky.social about his artist origins, his process, artist signatures & loads more at 8am on a Monday! Hugely appreciate it. 🙏🏼💀 You'll be able to hear the full conversation wherever you get your podcasts very soon!
