Hello! A little shop plug: I'm Sarah and I like to draw spooky and atmospheric things, from TV, film and books, landscapes, legends and whatever emerges from my fusty old head. I make prints and occasionally other things and my shop is here. Reposts much appreciated. Thanks! sarahcoomershop.etsy.com

Woof, this has been a rough week. Partner was admitted on Wednesday evening because his blood cultures came back positive. He is being treated for a blood infection now, and need many tests to make sure his heart isn’t infected

the best way i can summarize coloring advice is: fuck around and find out

The werewolves of Ossory (a medieval Irish kingdom) are referenced in many Irish, English, and Norse texts. Their sins caused God to transform them into wolves. However, they were still Christian; a priest was once brought to perform last rites for a dying female werewolf. #FairyTaleTuesday

In the ER with my partner tonight. Not the best way to spend our night off 😪 Hoping he sees a doctor soon and gets his pain under control 🤞🏻

"Undine Discovering Herself To The Knight Huldbrand." - By F. Wyburd." The Illustrated London News 15.10.1859. #WyrdWednesday #Undine #Art #1850s

In tales of fiery Pele, she quarreled with her sister Nāmaka, a water spirit; Pele would hurl fire, and Nāmaka would put it out. Over time, enough fire was hardened into stone, and in this version of the tale, the Hawaiian Islands were born. #WyrdWednesday 🖼: H. Kane

Hellebore, a King of Poison Plants. This spellbinding flower is associated with the underworld, aiding in banishment and protection. Hellebore is also thought to have been an ingredient in witches’ flying ointment. #hellebore #herbology #banefulmagick #banefulherbs #witchcraft #illustration

The VVitch; A New England Folktale poster. One of my favorite poster illustrations inspired by one of my favorite movies. Robert Eggers is a master of his craft.

Thanks so much Louisville for an amazing weekend!!! Next stop, Columbus, OH 4/19-4/20!

Out here at Oddities & Curiosities Expo in Louisville all weekend!

Joan of Arc, 16" x 24" painted back in 2010. Definitely a turning point in my art and launch point of my career.

I’m going to be sharing a mix of old & new works here so y’all can get to know me better. Plus, I like my old stuff, so you get to enjoy it as well. Anyway, here’s Baphomet from ‘21. In the face of adversity, may we continue to celebrate aspects of ourselves that are in & out of the the binary.

Mini versions of my work will be up at the Art Academy of Cincinnati for their Minumental Exhibition. The show is open from January 31st - February 28th. Closing show and sale will be February 28th, and any purchase of my work directly supports the AAC’s Alumni Association.

One of my favourite uncanny images from Nosferatu (Murnau & Herzog) is Orlok scuttling through Wisburg by night with his prized box of dirt. Decided to make that the subject of my latest lino print! 'Night Sneaker' will be available in the shop from midday on Thursday... 🐀 slipperyjack.bigcartel.com

My piece for the Butch Fairy zine🍄‍🟫☘️ #rephaeimart

Highlights of 2024. I did not get the chance to draw plenty for myself this year. Here’s to hoping for a softer, kinder new year.

we need people's work, creative and technical, more than ever. self-promote, and lift up others. it isn't separate from the fight, it is part of it.

People sleep on 2010’s the Wolfman, and it is honestly SO FUN. It’s a gorey, bloody, gothic good time. A phenomenal Danny Elfman score that reminds me of a tank Stoker’s Dracula (1992). Rick Baker won a freaking Oscar for the makeup design!!!

Artist shop that offers lifestyle goods inspired by halloween, witchcraft, fantasy and medieval art. 😎

Finally watched Heretic (2024) the other night — I am a sucker for religious horror and absolutely loved it. The performances were great, Hugh Grant is a fantastic villain. I enjoyed the conversation around religion, the power of faith, disbelief, and control. 9/10 would recommend!

Belladonna

The volva, the long-dead seer, told Odin many things: of the birth of the world from Ymir's body, of the division of the Nine Worlds, of Odin's sacrifice and of many gods, among them Loki; she told him of Fimbulwinter, and of Ragnarok, the end. #FolkyFriday 🖼: L. Frolich

Love this moment in a 17th century conversion narrative when a woman feels something jump on her bed in the night and assumes it must be the devil - before realising that “it was the dog, and not the devil” 👀

Nor am I!

Cincinnati and KY people, catch me next weekend at my first Oddities & Curiosities Expo. I will be peddling my prints, posters, postcards, stickers, and more. #odditiesandcuriosities

I don’t think anyone could fathom how excited I am for this! I am foaming at the mouth

Some of Somerset’s finest old stones 🪨✨

I am having a hard time expressing my thoughts on what happened yesterday. My heart is heavy. Good things are still happening in the world. Hold onto each other. Make space for rest, for grief, and for hope. #pagansagainstfascism #witchesagainstwhitesupremecy #heathensagainsthate

It’s so hard to leave Instagram because my feed is so curated to me — I know BlueSky will get there, but dang it’s hard to scroll through this app right now. I need more witchy artists, illustrators, and practitioners to follow.

Lucifer and Lilith bound eternally in Unholy Matrimony. Inspired heavily by Catholic Saint imagery, these were some of my earliest pieces that propelled me in the direction of exploring occultism through illustration. #lilith #lucifer #satanism

Will slowly but surely share my art here. Please enjoy a resurgence of old art inspired by mythology, folklore, and witchcraft ✨
