I will draw retro vintage comic book pop art, horror comic book, retro comic characters


About this gig
Horror comics hit different when the art has real retro grit.
Most illustrators either do modern horror art or vintage-style comics, rarely both. That leaves you stuck choosing between spooky atmosphere and that classic pulp comic look, or settling for art that feels stiff, cartoonish, or misses the tone entirely. A horror comic without the right visual mood just doesn't land.
I bring both worlds together.
I illustrate retro and vintage-inspired comic art with a horror edge - think classic pulp horror covers, eerie retro characters, and bold pop art energy, built for comics that actually creep readers out in the best way.
