Last night’s #FantasticFest viewing — a 4K restoration of Todd Verow’s still shocking #FRISK, featuring gay sex, drugs, nudity, murder, and bodily fluids. How were queer films so much more transgressive in the ‘90s than they are now? Loved it Q&A with Verow moderated by @ahouseingotham.bsky.social

So far, my favorite film of #FantasticFest is the beautiful NO REST FOR THE WICKED, presented by gay producer Lars Bredo Rahbek and gay director Kasper Kalle — a tale of two seamen’s undying love that mixes queer romance with folk horror amidst a religious island community. #queerfilm #UndyingLove

Laika’s animation is astounding, but why does everyone in their new WILDWOOD film look malnourished and sleep deprived?

Yes, I do use the words I learned growing up in New England, but I’m 95% sure that I don’t have the Massachusetts accent (though my family still does).

Early movie screening with director Adam Wingard AND studio swag. The ‘80s synth score was killer! #onslaughtmovie #adamwingard #fantasticfest #alamodrafthouse

I wrote an artist’s statement (for a group show submission) that’s so pretentious it sounds like I know what I’m doing.

I started a new (non graphic design related) job a little over a week ago and now feel like I haven’t drawn anything in a million years.

When the weather’s hot and sweaty, but you feel so spooky already — SUMMERWEEN. #haunteddavidart #summerween #horrrorbeefcake #supportqueerart #queerartist

Digitally-colored drawing of a nude male with pale green skin and white eyes sitting with a watermelon between his legs (hiding his genitals). The water melon is carved with a jack o’lantern face and has a carving knife plunged into it. In the background is the suggestion of palm trees with bats and a large spiderweb.

After 6 years of working from home, today marks the first day of a new chapter in which I must physically be in a workplace surrounded by coworkers for 8 solid hours. Anxiety level is high.

The ADHD urge to dehydrate yourself because you're drawing and there's never going to be a right moment to get up and refill your drink.

Thank you for a raucous Tuesday night of queer cinema! Fun Facts: Felissa Rose’s father opened the first gay vacation motel in the country AND was also the bar manager at The #Stonewall Inn in 1969, getting arrested for rioting on that historic night! #PeachesChrist #MichaelVarrati #FelissaRose

I swear, whenever I look up a reference photo to see how a hand is positioned in any particular pose, it's always the mirror opposite of what I'm trying to draw.

Today I was faced with an age verification prompt when I opened Bluesky. If I disappear here, it’s because I’m morally opposed to any agency policing my web habits. But just now I reflexively opened Bluesky and I’m on just like normal. I despise the inconsistency, but at least I’m here for now.

Name a film with a title that is a full sentence.

Poster for the film “Let’s Scare Jessica To Death” showing a woman in a rowboat using a boat hook to ward off the skeletal hands rising up at her from the water.

Made time to add recent SALEM HORROR FEST work to my portfolio. I often worry that the words "horror fest" on my resume might turn off prospective employers, but I approach it like any other event project: creating modular visuals that lend themselves to different utilizations. #haunteddavidart

A collaged image showing the key poster art for 2026's SALEM HORROR FEST and how I translated it into vinyl banners (for photo opps), enamel lapel pins, and t-shirts for both attendees and staff.

Another #Pride Month piece, this time with a vintage-inspired sailor pinup, because it's been so darn hot and I'd love to cool down with a visit to the sea. #HauntedDavidArt #SupportQueerArt #Beefcake #QueerArtist #FleetWeek #Sailor

I'm excited Gregg Araki is still making movies and I'll run out to see this opening night, but I have to express disappointment that this looks so... heterosexual. #hottake #greggaraki #iwantyoursex

It’s a Saturday in June and that means there’s a #Pride celebration taking place somewhere (well, a lot of somewheres)! Let’s kick this one off with everyone’s favorite #MistressOfTheDark, ELVIRA, an icon, ally, and member of the rainbow community! #haunteddavidart #elviramistressofthedark #queerart

A drawing of Elvira Mistress of the Dark riding on a broom in front of the colors of the rainbow pride flag.
