I got to draw the new bags for @theshq.bsky.social !! I felt it was time to represent the true nature of those fancy boys.

There aren't enough characters allowed on here to express how much is going on and how excited we are about it! So here goes nothing: LAABF Thur-Sun, new issue of Sammy Harkham's Terror House with reprints, Go Nagai "Darthman" Tee, Secret Fantasy Swap Meet Tee, the 8 digit pin to my bank acct is 672

It's here, fellow freaks! Dave's at Brain Dead Fantasy Fest armed with the chainmail of friendship, the shield of print bangers and the mace of a new hush-hush "we-stumbled-upon-this" zine that you need to see with your own eyes to believe. Today and tomorrow. Game on, you angels, you have our ax!

Be sure to buy two copies ‘cause Nicolette Wood made a bodacious bookplate and you need both!!

These came out so nice! If you are in LA area, go pick up Ex.Mag 6 from @theshq.bsky.social !!!!!!
