This is the final video we will ever post about carving the Ozark Howler. Thanks to everyone who have been keeping up with our journey and thank you to the Foundry Art Centre for having us! We wanted to finish short, sweet, and hopefully satisfying. Here's one HUGE carve to end it all.

When someone comes to the table and wants to to be a sexy as hell man-eating succubus covered in blood... you DO. NOT. ARGUE. 🖤 Portrait done at Halloween on V-Day 2025

This is a timelapse video of the LAST DAY of carving the Ozark Howler Block! Overall the carving of this block took 42.5 hours divided over 16 days. It was such a great experience creating this piece of art and watching it get printed. Thank you again Foundry Art Centre for having us!

Just like the previous weeks, I felt like it would be interesting for people to see how long it took to carve out one whisker for our Ozark Howler block since most of our carving videos are sped up. Check out our YouTube channel to hear and see this whole block getting carved from beginning to end.

When blood is the drug for a club going vampire 🩸 Such a cool & sexy idea. If it were up to me, I would only draw monster ladies. They are my favorite. Thank you to an amazing subject, it was so much fun!!! 🖤 Portrait done at Halloween on V-Day 2025

I really love how creative people are & how nuanced and specific everyone's portrait turns out. These two were so fun to draw and honestly I'd read a whole series about their magical vampire zombie adventures. Portrait done at Halloween on V-Day 2025

A zombie who's only animated when the magical dagger they were stabbed with is in their body. A vampire best friend from the 1920s. Together they form a best friend duo tracking down the jerk who stabbed the zombie.

This portrait turned out great!!! I love the idea that an absolutely exuberant Dracula would think feasting on victims is exactly what La Muerte would want. But she's actually low key upset he's upsetting the natural order of the life/death cycle. Portrait done at Halloween on V-Day 2025

Leannán Sídhe is a beautiful muse in Irish folklore known as the Irish love fairy. Her human lovers are said to live brief, but highly inspired lives. The Celtic Revival period gave new life to the myth of Leannán Sídhe and emphasizes the vampiric qualities of her supernatural affairs with humans.

Rowan and Ash came to the table wanting to be the Bride & Creature meeting for the first time. The reanimated Bride is exploring the world and has never seen anything like Creature before. The wild and feral Creature sees the Bride and knows its love at first sight.

Jess came to the table wanting to be the gorgon Medusa. Having to grow up strong because of all the issues their snakes had caused them. Coming out the other side with acceptance and appreciation for them. Portrait done at Halloween on VDay event earlier this year #livedrawing #customportrait

Frankenstein’s monster & the Bride are such an iconic pair. These soon-to-be newlyweds brought all the attitude. We had a great time hanging out talking about movies, life, & the amazing quirky venue they picked for their wedding. We’re bringing back portraits to @midsummerscream.bsky.social

We are so glad to be where we are now artistically and as a business. We are so excited to have finally gotten to a point where our logo artistically represents what we do and are so excited to offer it on a shirt.

When we finally landed on this design, something clicked and people started asking us to make shirts for it.

Darkstina @darkstina.com · 25/06/2025
When I started printing shirts it only felt natural to print our own logo on a shirt but we weren't sure if anyone would want a shirt with our logo on it.There has been a lot of figuring things out and in the almost two years we've been doing this we've redesigned our logo twice already.

Darkstina @darkstina.com · 25/06/2025
A little info on our journey with this shirt. We wanted to include the very first test shirt we printed a year ago in this picture while we were still just learning to screen print. This picture serves as a comparison from where we came from and where we are.

If you go to the YouTube channel, other than grunting and sighing, you'll catch the occasional swear just like in this video. That's because carving is hard and I mess up sometimes. #blockprinting #printmaker #printmakingart #ozarkhowler

Even though Block Party 2025 at the Foundry Art Centre has passed we still haven't shared the entire carving process of our Ozark Howler block. Believe it or not we still have 10 more weeks of videos because we recorded every day or carving. We will keep posting videos of this block till it's done!
