Ben Smith from Fangoria.com’s blog has a great article on Grendel’s Den Design Studio, which you can read here.

I personally wanted to thank Ben for the feature. I greatly appreciate it.

The author that I was creating a portrait for is one of my all time favorites – Gary A. Braunbeck. The piece is finally completed and you can check it out in the GDDS Gallery.

There’s also some new promotional material designs in the GDDS Print Section.

I rarely show one of my art pieces before they’re finished, but I am so damned happy with the progress of this one thus far that I have to show it off. This is an author’s portrait, sans author right now since I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag as to who it’s for. I will give you a hint though – They’re an award-winning author. Ha! Like that really narrows it down, right.

Now is the time to contact me for booking information for the 2009 Haunt and Halloween season.

For haunted attractions I can be a unique and entertaining aspect to your midway or cue-lines, opening and closing parties, Halloween week, theme parties, cast parties and much, much more!

And Halloween events are a specialty of mine, providing the right atmosphere and dance music to keep your party-goers dancing throughout the night!

Dates are starting to fill up so contact me today!

I just uploaded some shots from this past weekend’s OBSCURA event. Just click the image above to see more.

Tonight at The Trocadero Theatre is OBSCURA, which is the pre-party/meet and greet for tomorrow’s big alternative fashion show contest Catwalk Tragedy. I’ll be displaying some of my work along with other artists and photographers like Lithium Picnic, Kyle Cassidy and S. Jenx. There’s also various performances including Philly’s own Live Not On Evil and Mighty Mike Saga.

The art show will be up for both events but I will only be there for tonight’s portion of the two day event.

And in the interest in making this post at least not so damned boring here’s a swank video of this past Easter’s Philly Zombie Crawl. It was put together by Philly local filmogapher Bob Sweeney.

I’ll be participating in the group showing OBSCURA / Catwalk Tragedy, a two day event taking place on Friday May 1st and Saturday May 2nd at the The Trocadero Theatre here in Philadelphia. There will be various performances including Live Not on Evil and Rigor Mortis Review and a few photography book releases. I’ll be there for the first night OBSCURA so be sure to come out and support local Philly creativity.

I’ve uploaded a couple of new things: A new print design for the upcoming event Power Strip Festival, which takes place July 10th and 11th at the The Trocadero Theatre. There’s also new a new piece of artwork entitled “FINAL CUT”, which is also available as a print!

The Japanese have again taken things up a notch with its conquest to be the masters of WTF culture by offering the world this fun little romp named Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl. No need for me to try and describe what the film is about. The name does a fine enough job. In truth I don’t think I can actually tell you what this film is about. I mean yeah, there’s some girl named Vampire Girl trying to kill some other girl named Frankenstein Girl. But outside of that I… I… I’m so at a loss where to even begin. It’s like every messed up thing Japan ever created was crammed into this blood opus. Which now that I think of it will probably make this an instant hit as well as one of the greatest drinking games ever.
