2024 is over, and in this first post of 2025 I have new horror art to show you and an update on what is happening for the rest of this year.
I finished it! New horror art

On the LAST day of 2024, I finished this painting I had been working on. I freakin' love it! I'm so happy with how the middle face turned out. The skin colour, the eyes, it's exactly what I wanted.
Check it out in the gallery if you want to see it larger. It's currently in the Misc. section, but may move in future if it becomes part of a series.

Daily drawing
I draw pretty often - doodling in my lunch break at work. But I want to draw more often and found that, even in my tiny A6 sketchbook, I take aaaaages to finish a drawing. I decided I want to be able to sketch the basic details of something in 5 minutes.
I'd also considered doing those daily drawing challenges (think Inktober and the like). I realised I could kill two birds with one stone by committing to these challenges. I'm currently partway through Creatuanary, and you can see my progress on Instagram or Facebook (but I will post nice copies of the final series in a future blog post - subscribe for updates!).
I have a list of challenges for most of the year. I'm not sure if I'll do ALL of them, but I'll give a lot of them a shot!
(Side note, none of these drawings have been done in 5 minutes. But, hopefully I'll get there, one day.)
Horror Book Covers
I mentioned last month (last year!) that I have MANY projects I'm interested in doing. But I can't do them all, at least not all at once, so I have to prioritise them.
I KNOW that the only one anyone ever seems to care about is MAKING T-SHIRTS!!!! That's cool and all but frankly when it comes to merchandise in general there is a lot more talk about buying than there is action in terms of sales. I WILL come back to making merchandise, but that will be when I've got more time to focus on making good quality items, and have built a solid group of followers who are interested in buying. Yet again, if you want to be the first to know when merch is available - subscribe!
That's all to say - my current project is related to book covers. I don't have anything to show just yet, but I will have new horror artwork and a couple other surprises (one of which is freeeee.... for subscribers).
That's it for now
Thanks for reading. I love seeing comments on my blog so if you're inclined, please let me know what you think of these updates.
