It’s Been an Event

As many of you know, I need surgery on my right knee. It’s not something I was looking forward to, but now that I know the facts—I’m eager.

Tibia plateau fractures account for 2% of fractures. Which means, this little, minute break is extremely rare, and extremely annoying. I still don’t know what caused the impact to damage my knee, but whatever it was, I truly did not feel it in the accident. All I remember is kicking open the car door and running away from the car.

The King & the Conjurer

I fucking hate that I can’t do my own original art. It sucks so fucking bad. But, I decided to take a route that I normally wouldn’t.

I tried my hand at AI art, but instead of taking stock images..I decided to use my own. I was lacking in creativity the past few days, and I had a little voice say:

“Do what you know.”

And that little voice was the King of the West, and so, in prompt, I created…The King and the Conjurer. Paimon and I.

Let’s Edit Flesh Unicorn!

So, I’m crippled…for now. I’ll spare you all the story again, but in case you didn’t know, I was in a car accident on Saturday. Since I’m pretty much SOL in terms of creating art, I figure I’ll take the time to focus on tutorials.

If you’re new on here, one of the things I advocate most to budding artists, is the fact that you can absolutely create amazing photos WITHOUT Adobe. By no means am I an Adobe hater; I’m just saying that I don’t like seeing photographers and ...

Let’s Talk About Shadowing

Here is a quick, little video on how I shadow. In any case, shadowing should not be excessive or over the top. When applying digital paint, it’s important to understand how natural shadows are cast. 

In the instance of the eyes, less is more. You should realistically be focusing on lash lines, under eyes, and inner corners. Seldom to I ever graduate past the orbital; I don’t feel it’s necessary, and it tends to add an unrealistic flair to the image.

In Search of Writers

I’m PISSED THE FUCK OFF. This team of ASSHATS that I hired for a Wikipedia page over a YEAR ago have given me a half-assed, half-hearted, piece of shit Wikipedia page. Mind you, I’ve spent over 3,000 of my own dollars in an attempt to solidify my career.

What I’m seeing are lazy Motherfuckers who are only doing “enough” to keep me quiet.

So, if anyone has any technical writing skills and can properly cite—hit me up. I’m fucking done.

Shit.

Alright. I’m doing Mothman, but here’s the dilemma:

Do I go with traditional moth wings, or do I go with more seraphim-like wings? I have my reasons for both, and I think they both are great; however, depending on what direction I go with the makeup could very well dictate how sinister the look will turn out.

Obviously, I’m going to put a fucked up spin on this. I was thinking of ordering a real-life looking baby to insinuate the devious nature of this Cryptid…but, then I...

Marge Guttman BTS

So, this was the beginning stages of this look. I had to apply at least seven coats of liquid latex and cotton balls around the perimeter of my mouth. Like I mention previously, this was really difficult for me to do because my slobber (see on my shirt) was coming out in droves.

After the cotton, I re-aligned the mouth with scar wax to create a very tattered/chapped look. What I didn’t get a chance to show was the rigid colloidal that I applied to the sides of my face. Regrettably, I...

Humble Beginnings

Goddamn. This was probably the hardest shit I’ve ever had to pull off in my entire career. Not only is my shirt covered in slobber, but having to keep my mouth open like that and the latex and scar wax from coming off S U C K E D.

In case you are not familiar with either of those products—water is not their friend. Which means, for everytime I applied latex, my spit was there to unstick it. But, I did prevail, and this was arguably the most labor-intensive look I’ve done. In the ...

BTS Stills | Denial of Death (The Naughty Ones)

You know, I should have auctioned off that cross. I can honestly say that was the first time I…ahem…masturbated with a cross. Okay, I DID NOT MEAN TO! But, it sorta just happened! I found out later that night Jim got a hard on 😂😂😂😂😂 He will never admit to it. 😂😂😂🌶️🌶️🌶️

The octopus was a twelve-pounder that felt oh-so cold upon my snatch. I’d post these on Instagram, but y’all…I’m SO FUCKING TIRED OF BEING BANNED.

Don’t Think You Suck at Editing

Seriously, don’t. Initially, I fucking hated this picture. (I’ve come to find out that I’m my own worst critic.) The colors sucked, the quality sucked, and the lighting was just atrocious. This was me in my infancy with editing and I had zero idea how much of a task it was.

I decided to go back and take a second stab at this image. Granted, it’s still not my favorite by any means, but it looks a hell of a lot better. As many of you know, I don’t really like to edit a lot of m...

Crisis Mode Activate

Okay, I’m slightly shifting some gears here. After much thinking and stressing—which is pretty hardcore right now, I think I’m going to switch and do Marge Guttman.

The shitty part is, the Denial of Death music video is coming out on Halloween. I’m working all the way up to Halloween and will virtually have no time to accomplish this look in time. Plus, I’m in a state of “Do I want to take away from the video release?” I’ve come to the conclusion that I may just post th...

Much Needed Break

Decided to take a break from horror for a bit to show Julio around TN. For those who aren’t familiar with him, that’s Jim’s best friend.

Fall is in full force right now, and it’s only fair that we take a break and enjoy the fantastic scenery. It’s amazing how you can live in this state and still witness some of the most beautiful sights around. I contemplated posting these on Instagram, but I said fuck it. People don’t appreciate the finer things in life, and truly, I know ...

New Prints! But Only For My Fam 💙

Guess what? I’m rolling out these as prints for you all! These will be mini prints with a small message! Just as a way to say thank you for the continual support for everything. Patreon had definitely made my connection with y’all better, more intimate, and I’ve really gotten to know so many amazing human beings. So, thank you for sticking with me and listening to me rant, rave, and engage in weird behavior. Family for life, y’all. Family for life…🫶🏼

Film Update!

Fuck, this is exciting! This is the film I’ll be a part of in December! I have to fly to Atlanta and sit in the makeup chair for some hours and get ready to make magic!

Besides Virginia Bitches, this is the first full-length film I’ll be in, and the fact that the script is looking promising—HOLY SHIT!

Fanaticism

I’m still not sure if this what I want to make this piece, but Jesus Christ on a stick (ha!), this was hard to do. Working with scar wax alone to build a hollowed out orbital area is a PAIN IN THE FUCKING ASS. Not only that, not the Skin Illustrator I used around my eyes ended up GETTING into my eye and causing big time issues.

If anything, this just inspires me to start building my own prosthetics and learning to work with clay molding. Put all that together, and the crown of thorns...

Since We All Are About Toilets Now | A Very Long Diss Post

Y’all, what the fuck. Aight, imma shoot straight. There is a band that…well, they suck, and they’ve been stealing from me, Menstrual Moonshine, Amenorrhea, and other bands.

I won’t name names because the last time I called them out, they acted like pussies and made up a bunch of nonsense to “cancel” me. So, for now, we will just call them the fuckfaces.

So, I guess in an attempt to stay relevant, they’re photoshopping pictures of toilets with their stupid ass stick...

Halloween Ideas?

I do need help with something. Since Halloween is around the corner, I need my people to help me select Halloween ideas.

So, here are my thoughts: 

1. Mothman

I’ve always been obsessed with this character since my mom talking about him as a kid. If you’re not familiar with him—he’s a Cryptid that is notorious for causing disasters such as: bridge collapses, accidents, and I’ve even heard in some cases, terminal illness. I always thought Mothman Prophecies was ...

Denial of Death Raw Edit (Video)

This is a rough edit of the video. Now, im happy. I’m very happy. The acting in this video is…I think…pretty goddamn good. Niuvis‘ ideas with the lighting, religious imagery and such allowed this video to be “passable”. Passable meaning not getting flagged by a fucking cancel culture asshat.

It still has some editing to go, but I’m very excited for this release. Denial of Death has the potential to REALLY explode, and I’m hoping this jumpstarts their career as well ...

“Untitled” BTS

Here she is, the 17lb pig head. These are some BTS edits of this SICK fucking shoot. These are NOTHING compared to what me and Wilbur did. I just hope Kerb enjoys these. Also, I wanted to keep the makeup to a minimum, as the emphasis was on the simplistic setting around me. Stay tuned!

She’s Here

A 17lb pig head. Wanna see what I’m basing this look off? My friend and fellow artist Kerb Crawler Ghost, who is also always banned—has eagerly awaited my grisly adaptation to his work. I’m looking forward to making this as filthy as possible—simply for the fact that both our work embody true Depravity! Stay tuned!

“Diabolus” Final Shots (Stills Only)

Happy October first, loves.

We are one day closer to Samhain, and one day closer to the veil thinning. Halloween is very much a spiritual day for me. I do enjoy dressing up, engaging in festivities and the usual camaraderie—but Halloween is MY day.

It’s the day I personally feel like I can be me. This is just the beginning of the holiday. I’m pumped to really light this month ablaze. 🫶🏼

Sweater Weather x Me Dancing in a Fire

It’s freaking gorgeous out. And, tonight I’ll be filming me dancing in front of a fire to my friend Steven’s music. For the wardrobe, I’ll be re-donning the horns and applying some pretty sick burn wounds to illustrate me coming from hell. I’m super excited, and this is going to be the start of me expanding more into the outdoors since it’s cooler out!
