❝ The streets are dark, except for the sparse dimly lit lampposts that illuminate your back alley path in the heart of Paris. The wind howls as you pull your cloak closer around you as a bone chilling sensation settles in your spine. A grim sense of unease wraps around your mind. Is someone watching you? And then you see her out of the corner of your eye- The Vampire of the Night- before you let out a blood curdling scream! ❞
•● ━━━━━━ ☽ Happy Halloween! ☾ ━━━━━━ ●•
My print for @carpenoctemzine! I was inspired to make this by looking at a lot of old art noveau pieces specifically from france in the 1890's. Most designs of that era just so happened to be opera posters or advertisements for theaters. So I decided to do my own supernatural twist on it, with the dripping blood from a set of fangs to make a frame befitting the art movement!

The goods from the @carpenoctemzine giveaway I won came today! Eternally grateful, some fantastic pieces and already so excited to dig into the zines! I bought Fine Dining additionally on my own because I didn't want to miss out on the truly bloody juicy stuff. Thanks again to the Carpe Noctem team and any artist/writer who contributed to it. My vamp-lover heart couldn't be happier! :D 🖤🦇

I can finally post my piece for Carpe Noctem @carpenoctemzine  — a non-fandom zine about vampires through the ages!
Anyway, I illustrated a story about some LGBTQ punks in 1970s USA :)

Need something to sink your teeth into? How about a story about a queer vampire mourning his beloved in Medieval Persia? Check out the preview for my piece The Longest and Darkest Night from the NSFW add-on book of @carpenoctemzine​​!
Soroush’s vision tunnels at the sight of the first ruby drop, his breath quickening. He unconsciously leans forward. Blood spills over Ismail’s arm into a waiting vessel, rich and stark against the polished metal, the same deep red as pomegranate seeds.
There’s a heat coming off it. It’s tempting, comforting, even. It begs to be enjoyed and savored. Soroush wants to dip his hand in it, feel it in the grooves of his fingerprints, suck each and every finger clean.
“Well?” Ismail says, impatient. The wad of cotton pressed against the incision is stained and already browning at the edges. The tourniquet lies on the floor between them like a discarded snake skin. Ismail watches him. “Is that enough?”
It’s not. In truth, it’s never enough.
Get the 18+ add-on booklet Carpe Noctem: Fine Dining and other vampire goodies when you pledge at our Kickstarter!! Our fundraiser closes on December 11, so don’t miss your chance!!

Carpe Noctem: Vampires Through the Ages is an anthology of original art, comics, and historical fiction about vampires around the world. You can read about the project and order a copy of the book on Kickstarter (here) and check out contributor bios, merch illustrations, and previews of art and writing on the project’s Twitter account (here) and at @carpenoctemzine.
I’m contributing a short story about a Heian-period vampire titled “The Kumo Diary,” which follows a Meiji-era scholar’s assistant who discovers an old manuscript that she initially mistakes as a lost chapter from The Tale of Genji. It was a lot of fun to write about Heian-period demonic women, and I also enjoyed doing research in order to put together the Meiji-period frame story. I’m very proud of the twist at the end, and I hope readers will get a pleasant chill from the gradual transformation of the two narrators’ distinctive voices.

Some crops of a WIP of my piece for the vampire-themed @carpenoctemzine (the first crop betrays that this is from a “barebones background” stage).

Here's my preview for the piece I made for @carpenoctemzine! The Kickstarter is still going strong and you can get your own copy by backing us! Click HERE to sink your fangs into our lovely zine!
My short story's titled The Night Fortune's Devil and it's about gay vampire pirates! Here's the excerpt I promised:
Luckily, the Night Fortune cut through the blue waters of the Caribbean without trouble, now turning golden with the dying sun rays. It really was a sight to see, how the light played with the ocean, how the virgin islands gleamed white-and-green as they sailed past, each one a perfect Eden for them to disembark upon and explore if they so wished. When Guillermo had left his chains behind and joined his first pirate crew, he hadn’t expected the selfless beauty that the world would shower upon him unprompted. He had craved freedom, no matter the pain, and though there had been lots of that, the breathless wonder had never left him. It truly was Paradise on Earth. And, like in all other man-made paradises, devils lurked.
I hope you'll give this zine a chance! Snoop around our Kickstarter to see all the shinies we offer, from bookmarks to a NSFW booklet! And maybe nab a copy or two!
