Happy Halloween from the late 1970s.

Idea zapped me for a story today, inspired by this kook I met some 25 years back, a Kenny Rogers impersonator who'd been struck in the head by space junk. He lived on a giant bus that he'd converted to a UFO museum, and he kept the space junk under glass in his bedroom. For $5 he'd let you hold it.

Also, he insisted radiation from the encounter was causing him to age in reverse, and there was no getting off that bus until he showed you numerous photographs to prove it.

The Dink sporting a Brother Inferior patch on #thelowdown is the most inside-baseball, lower-midwest H/C shit ever. I remember opening for these guys at an all ages show in OKC back in the 90s after getting run out of Springfield MO by Nazi boneheads the night before.

These jerks are taking care of me today. #cats #blackcats #catsky

I've met some celebs in my day (Crispin Glover once said I looked "clammy") but have only ever gotten one autograph (excluding a signed copy of LA Confidential, gifted by an old stalker, whom I later fucked, MANY times, just to be gracious). And that autograph is from Ultimate 80's Man Tom Atkins.

Got bored while I've been home sick, so I started making a comic book. #comic #comicsky #artsky #monsters

Just re-hyping the newest issue of @unwinnable.com, with cover art by Yours Truly!

As a loud and proud Hater (with a capital H, even!) of IT: CHAPTER 2, I gotta say it sounds like a goddamn masterpiece compared to what I'm hearing about WELCOME TO DERRY. Woof.

Ghost Adventures, but the team is just people who are trying to fuck ghosts. Call it Ghost Humpers, I guess.

Can't believe these pictures are only 12 years apart. Don't even recognize that guy any more. Why did I think needles were sexy? I'd probably been strung out half my life at that point, off and on. Thankfully I came to my senses and survived. Lots of my pals from back then weren't so lucky.

Happy Birthday to the mighty Lux Interior, history's Number One Party Ghoul.

New issue of Unwinnable just dropped. With XXXTRA SPOOPY cover art by yours truly! Big big thanks to @orringrey.com for facilitating this love connection.

If you want your copy of the STARLIGHT THEATER HALLOWEEN DOUBLE-FEATURE by myself and artist @patricbates.bsky.social before Halloween, order soon while supplies last! www.etsy.com/listing/4376...

Hey, local venues. Hey, local bands. I'm an artist. I see you using AI to hype your shows online. This is a bad look. I would gladly help you correct that situation. I'm sure many of my fellow local artists would, as well. Maybe we should all try supporting each other instead of feeding the machine?

Just went on a submission spree, so now I'm back to feeling like I should set myself on fire in shame.

Happy 50th birthday to one of my favorite (or at least one of my most-read) spooky books! I own multiple copies with different covers, the goofiest being that Gallery Books edition from 2000. Avoid last year's crap film adaptation like a plague of rats! #salemslot #stephenking

let's play a game...

See you, space cowboy... #rip #spaceace #kiss

Happy Book Birthday to Notes from Underground: The Hollow Earth Story Cycle, the new collection of linked tales of cosmic horror and masterful strangeness from author, editor, amateur film scholar, and skeleton @orringrey.com! 🥳

Just saying, I know it's nomination season and all, and not for nothing, but I'm real proud of my story "Cicada Summer," Chthonic Matter, Vol. 3, Issue 2, Summer 2025, hint hint hint. #stokers

Long ago I wrote (but never finished) a comic about this loser who burns his own face off with acid so that skeletons will have sex with him. Thought it would be funny to give it a shitty EDGY ACTION cover, so I put all of my energy into that and never worked on it again.

Mashing some small Old Ideas into a big New Idea. Question is: Is this a comic, or an illustrated novel? #art #monsters #amidoingthisright

More for the pile. #art #conceptart #monsterart

Gonna just dump character sketches here till I finally sit down to write the damn thing. A few people have asked, "How's the kids' book coming along?" Friends, this isn't a kids' book, unless you let your kids read stories full of f-bombs, dongs, and horrific gore.

It's not that you're not talented enough! It's that the literary world is an expensive pyramid scheme!

I based my entire personality around this single comic panel.

Rolling into October like:

Everything is truly, truly awful right now, it just gets worse every day, and it's never going to get any better, not for any of us, but I found this cool blacklight werewolf mask today, so that's pretty all right I guess.

Getting my fingers inky for my pal Amy's train hopping zine.

lets go ghouls

About to wrap up a new story, then it's time to dive into the next one, plus I'm revising a couple of oldies to send back into the world. At what point do I bite the bullet and try pitching a collection to presses? #writing #author #horrorwriter #amwritinghorror #writersky #horrorsky

What’s going on with my ‘boils’ and, in some cases, ‘ghouls?’
