What an incredible weekend on Long Island! 🖤

​A massive thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth at The Gothic Market over the last two days. Whether you picked up a new piece for your collection, grabbed a book, or just stopped by to chat about the strange and the unseen, you made the trip completely worth it.

​Nassau Community College was packed with phenomenal energy, and it was an honor sharing the floor with so many incredibly talented fellow creators. Huge shoutout to the organizers for putting together such a stellar event!

​The crates are packed, the studio is a little bit emptier, and the creative tank is completely full. Time to head back to the drafting table and the casting resin to start rebuilding the inventory.
​Until the next gathering... 👁️✨

Incredible day at the Massachusetts Tattoo and Arts Festival in Sturbridge!

​There’s something special about the energy here—the art, the community, and the constant hum of fresh ink. I had the chance to get some amazing work done by an old friend and shared the experience of getting tattooed with a new one, @

​This was actually my first time getting tattooed at a festival, and it definitely won't be my last. 💀🎨
