i need to get back to Projects, but here's a evening doodle. all freehand, not at all focused on historical/architectural accuracy, just calibrating what reads as a visually interesting background to me. #original

JD Riley and kradeelav curated an #original nazisploitation anthology during spring 2024 called NaZine I with over fifteen contributors - since my copy came in, have a nice crop of my piece.



cover art by the wonderful kmclaude


A beautiful, refined, and uniquely unsettling full-color collaborative work of both art and prose delving into the fantasies of those who find particular joy in the aesthetic of Nazisploitation–a genre long misunderstood and abhorred by the uninitiated. Are you ready to be In The Know?

#original leather-ish self-somethin'

FALKE - 2022 is an #original comic that JD wrote and I drew. physical & digital copies are still available to buy on itch.io

we had been talking about making something like this for a while. tl;dr of the …. plot … is a beautiful man killin’ nazis messily. not a bad zine at all to pick up these days.

Not gonna lie, the recent book-banning culture zeitgeist was a big motivation for both of us; we’ve both been hit directly and indirectly by pressure and harassment to make “safer” creations (JD moreso than me), and wanted to push back on that idea, especially as persons that are typically targeted during fascist regimes.

It’s still one of the creations I’m proudest of, not only of last year and the chaos during multiple eye surgeries but in terms of my whole creative career and pushing me to the envelope craft-and-thematic-wise. JD was a darling to work with; the absolute best kind of zine co-collaborator and writer one could ask for, and is in the process of making more.

CREATION MYTHS (2019)
Rowan Grover (author), kradeelav (artist)

Rowan commissioned me to draw his #original post-apocalyptic story with three archetypical monsters-turned friends who had chance meetings up until the end of time itself. Featured in an anthology. Was a pleasure working with Rowan and had a ton of fun bouncing ideas around with him; see below for concept art.
