About Me

I'm an amateur but avid photoshop digital artist who loves creating dark scenarios with pixels, and an amateur photographer who hopes to one day become better than average .........

My artwork is a lifelong hobby, and a way to relax and escape the rigors of work and everyday problems .........cheap therapy, but it works.

I've had people ask, why the deep interest in dark art, my only response is,why not ..........its just a natural part of me.
Ever since I was A child, I've held a strong fascination with the dark and so called macabre. I was the child who looked under his bed, not scared of what I might find, looking for shadows that move in the dark and not afraid to open the closet door to see what hides in the darkness shunning the light of day ...........they say curiosity killed the cat....we'll see.

Things that capture my dark interests and morbid curiosity are...

Edgar Allen Poe ....the master of mystery and macabre "got me interested in reading"

H.P.Lovecraft ......a underappreciated and creative genius who melded sci-fi/horror

M.R.James ..........The master of ghost stories"still keeps me up at night reading"

Clive Barker .......the new master and creative genius at scaring the shit out of you

Ray Bradbury .......the ultimate story teller"a childhood hero"

Bram Stoker ........for introducing the world to Dracula and the world of vampires

Ann Rice ...........for her creative and romantic vampire chronicles

Aleister Crowley ...for sparking my curiosity into the occult

Jack the Ripper.....for never getting caught

Ireland ............the place I where I should have been born

Ghosts .............for always wondering about the other side

Graveyards .........for being a photo shoot wonderland

Old architecture ...for keeping the past alive
