I was very pleased and honored to be asked to create the poster art for the 2021 H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival! This year the theme was inspired by “From Beyond”, a Lovecraft story that was adapted into a popular film (as well as some shorts, as seen at the festival this year). Like any good cosmic horror protagonist, I went back to the old text to summon the original inspiration, and blended it with my own. My intention was a combination of black light effects, electron microscopy and deep sea bioluminescence.

MONSTER PAGEANT
April 21, 2018: After an evening of stage-strutting, performing and city-crushing, Monstark is officially named the second-mightiest monster in Portland! I am honored because all the monsters here are mighty, especially the talented creatures with whom I shared the stage. The Monster Pageant was a perfect weird, warm, welcome-to-Portland celebration for me, because it brought together some of my favorite things...art, costumes, performance, karaoke and hanging out with monsters! Thanks to Alex Chiu and the Portland Zine Symposium for putting together this epic evening!
