The classic monsters fit well into so many metaphors. I'd never seen this particular take on vampirism, but it's a good one. If you see it right away it's likely because you've seen it in real life.

A few more photos of the Haunted Free Library (showing off the hinges & door design for @legendaryvermin.bsky.social ) - we’ve started populating it with books. For the grand opening, lots of these are new (or read once) - like stocking full candy bars for #Halloween #Horror #BookSky

A Little Free Library shaped like a black coffin with a red interior. A person with a pale hand holds open the door to show off the hinges and latch.

Interior of a black and red coffin shaped Little Free Library partially stocked with books. Works by Cherie Priest, Tananarive Due, Caitlin Starling & others are prominently displayed.

Full view of a black and red coffin shaped Little Free Library partially stocked with books. The door hangs open on cleverly angled hinges. A red and black sign is affixed to a small roof that keeps the rain off. The sign reads: Haunted Free Library. Take a book. Leave a book. Horror genre only. Share the scares.

A small plastic skeleton hugs a rectangular tin sign fixed to the top of a coffin shaped Little Free Library. Sign and coffin are both black with red details. The sign reads: Haunted Free Library. Take a book. Leave a book. Horror genre only. Share the scares.

It continues to be interesting to me just how many men, when presented with a clear and obvious answer to a test of morality and empathy, will nevertheless choose to "devil's advocate" themselves into a position of complete assholery

I HAVE BEEN LEARNING LINOCUT FOR BLOCK PRINTING. Still have a lot of learning to do when it comes to the ink transfer, but I'm very proud of my progress with the cuts.

A Disco Elysium-esque linocut illustration. My original character, Billy Baines, looks toward the viewer from a three-quarter angle with a thoughtful expression on his face. He has short-cropped, curly black hair and a goatee, is wearing a rumpled suit and tie, and is smoking a cigarette. The left and right sides of the illustration are framed with a border made up of eyes in various shapes and sizes, which swirl around and lend a vibe of cosmic horror to the piece.

Saying art “looks like ai” with no ability to say why it looks like ai and then saying it’s actually a “critique” is going to give me an aneurism. Where do you think ai got that style? Just think for like 5 more seconds.
