Happy Holidays from the Smiths

“Quarantine has been hard, but it’s really brought us together as a family!”

I’ve once again taken up the tradition of making a new twisted horror-themed holiday card for those who share my sense of humour. Absolutely no offense is intended to those who’ve suffered these past 2 years; my intent with this card was to engage in a bit of gallows humor about the cavalier attitude certain people have had about the seriousness of COVID 19.

Happy Harbor Comics Artist in Residence

As indicated by the title, I’ve been selected to be Happy Harbor Comics’ Artist in Residence for 2018! The term lasts until August 11, 2018, and I’ll be in the shop every Friday and Saturday working on a graphic novel until then (12-6 on Fridays, 12-5 on Saturdays). If you’re in the area, feel free to come in and say hello! I’m always more than happy to chat and show you what I’m working on!

If you can’t make it in person, I post sneak peeks on Instagram regularly.

I’m also happy to announce that I’m booked for the 2018 Calgary Horror Con! I’ll have new posters, a new holiday card, and other goodies for sale; as always, I’m also happy to simply chat with anyone about almost anything, so please stop by if you’re heading to the Con!

 

They came from the deep!

I’m proud to announce that I’ll have some heat-changing mugs featuring the giant squid and hairy anglerfish available for purchase in the near future!

These two beauties are the first of what will be an ongoing series of coffee mug designs that will allow you to ponder the mysteries of the deep while enjoying your morning coffee. While these creatures are highly visible right now, they’ll be obscured by black paint that will vanish once you pour in your hot beverage of choice.

These mugs will most likely sell for $10.00, and will be available online and at my convention table at the Calgary Horror Con this year.
