Hello! My name is Anthony and love creating dark, spooky, or surreal art using pencil, ink, or ballpoint pen. If you like my work, I'm open to commissions. I've created art for book covers, song releases, and tattoos. Here is some of my recent work.

If you see this post, post your black and white art!

Artwork based on an unpublished short story a friend of mine wrote. #eye #grayscale #horror #creepy #ink #monster #illustration

Ballpoint pen #doodle I worked on over the course of several days. #skull #ink #illustration #horror

An #illustration for a friend’s first steps into publishing her own music. Thrive by Nina Spire I created the artwork using an #ink wash on stone paper. You can find her music on Spotify, YouTube, and TikTok (I’m sure some other places as well) m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcA8...

A buyer of my art just shared a pic of it with a new custom frame. They bought an LE print of an #illustration I did for the book Small Bites: Weird Flash Fiction, available on Amazon. The prints are hand numbered, titled, and signed by me and the author. A few are left; just DM me if interested!

Started experimenting with #copicmarker as I continue to figure out who I am as an artist and what my style is #art #ink #egg #sketch #grayscale

First #drawing of 2026 (much later than I wanted). Got some new supplies from Sketchbox, so thought I would try a small sketch to get back into the momentum. I have some fun goals I want to accomplish this year, so poke me if it’s been too long since I posted anything. Onward!

Christmas gifts have been completed. Now I need to get some frames. #christmasgift #axolotl #elderscrolls #khajiit #drawing #noai

#kahiit #elderscrolls #wip this is taking shape and I’m starting to feel somewhat satisfied with it. One cat left

#wip #khajiit #theelderscrolls #cat

Definitely out of my wheelhouse (in terms of art style) and feeling the pressure with Christmas next week, but my son loves our #cats and loves #TheElderScrolls series, so why not imagine our cats as #Khajit? #fanart #wip #christmasgift

This was a pleasant surprise. The #illustration I made for this series of books convinced at least one person :) You can check out the book with my work on it here. www.amazon.com/Small-Bites-... #fantasy #horror #scifi #thriller #romance #fiction

I made a cover #illustration for a #book and it is now live :) If you’re a fan of micro stories, #horror, #scifi, #thriller, #supernatural, and other #fiction, then definitely check it out! www.amazon.com/Small-Bites-...

Practicing deer skulls for a #wendigo Christmas gift for my son. Going with the contemporary interpretation since it’s how he was introduced to it, but will discuss the original #algonqian mythology at some point. It feels disrespectful perpetuating something that wasn’t part of their stories

As an aside, whenever I post to my Instagram page, it always duplicates the image in my phone library. Usually I delete the copy, but when I saw it this time I thought it was a unique opportunity to add some character to my photo library (make sure to view the whole image)
