TRML - (he/him) Elder Millennial Goth 🌟 🦇

This weekend I'll be at the Des Moines Comic and Toy Show at Merle Hay Mall in Urbandale! I'll have all your fave designs, plus the return of the garage sale section (which has been a freshly stocked)! It's my ONLY central Iowa show this year, so stop on by so you don't have to wait until 2027!

Whoever picks up Doctor Who next needs to include Frobisher as a companion. It'd still be running strong if they were included more (or at all).

New artwork drop! The last of the three promised "remasters," the upgraded Crow shirt features an original illustration (by yours truly, as always) of Eric standing high above the city, embracing the rainy sky. Available in shirt and prints here: www.glowbatstore.com #illustration #horrorart

Daily sketch. I don't share many of these, as most are studies in various parts/poses, but this one was fun because I've never drawn Godzilla before. It's kind of an amalgam of different eras, but still neat! #illustration #handdrawn #artsky

I finally upgraded to a mechanical pencil set after using the same traditional pencils for over 20 years (literally the same two pencils for those years). So of course I had to try them out with a Jimothy sketch. Verdict: I love these mechanical pencils! #illustration #sketch

I now have this stuck in my head, so you need to have it stuck in your head, too.

⚠️New item alert! ⚠️ I actually sneakily had this available at my last show, but the cat is out of the bag! At long last, I present the "Lake Vibes" bookmark! These will be available at shows and as always, they're designed and printed by yours truly. 😉 #horrormerch

THIS SATURDAY! Glow Bat will be at the River City Oddities and Antiques Expo in Mason City, IA. It's the first show of the fall, so I'll have a bunch of NEW items on hand!

Some more new items coming your way: Check out the Gill Man stickers! They'll be available at shows starting this weekend. #horror #horrorart #illustration #creaturefromtheblacklagoon

Post something random or you’ll have an awful September

😳😳😳

(So far) I've drawn Tim Curry twice: as Pennywise and Frank-N-Furter. He's always so fun to draw because his charismatic expressions can really bring the art to life.

Dolly's passing stung yesterday, now Tim's passing is a real gut punch for me today. Anyone who knows me knows how big a fan I am of his, so this one really hurts. Rest in peace, Doc, you're going home. www.tmz.com/2026/08/26/t...

Oh yeah! My submission for the #Stankus fan art contest. @jessethorn.bsky.social @jordanmorris.bsky.social @jordanjessego.bsky.social

New design drop!!! 🚨🚨🚨 I'm excited to present the second of three "remasters" featuring an original illustration inspired by Toxie! It's available on bright green shirts and on prints. Get yours here: www.glowbatstore.com #illustration #Horror #horrorart #toxicavenger #artsky #horrorsky

#NowWatching Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers It's the end of the Jaimie trilogy and the beginning of Paul Rudd's career in motion pictures! #filmsky #horror #horrorsky

#NowWatching Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers Michael has been VERY tolerant up until now, but no more! Now he wants... Revenge! #filmsky #horrorsky #horror #Halloween #MichaelMyers

New design drop! 🚨🚨🚨 One of at least three design "remasters" I'm planning for the fall refresh, this one is an original illustration inspired by the ever-iconic Halloween series! Get yours in shirt and print form here: www.glowbatstore.com #illustration #originalart #HorrorArt #HorrorSky

#NowWatching Phantasm I've only seen this film once before and I didn't care for it then. However, I don't think I was in the right headspace to appreciate it. Time for another go! #FilmSky #HorrorSky #NowPlaying

#NowWatching It Chapter 2 This one I've seen a bit more recently than chapter 1, and I remember it not being very good. I guess we'll see how my memory of it holds up! #FilmSky #HorrorSky #Horror

#NowWatching It (2017) The 1990 version I just watched is a pretty decent abridged/summary version of the book. Now to see how the 2017 version stacks up after not having seen it since it came out. #filmsky #horrorsky #horror

#NowWatching It (1990) I just finished the book and am now re-watching all the Its (except Welcome to Derry, because I recently watched that). My wife refuses to watch them with me because she knows I'll be insufferable with the book comparisons. #filmsky #horrorsky #horror

#NowWatching John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness... Because what better way to celebrate the legend that was Sam Neill? 😭 #filmsky #horrorsky

It is better than the first one, but it loses points for writing out Bruce Campbell's character 15 minutes in... But it gets some points back for having a funky theme song.

The June design drop is live! This month features an original illustration in the style of the old horror comic books like Tales From the Crypt. It's available in t-shirt and ready-to-frame art prints. Get yours here!: glowbatstore.com #horrorart #illustration #horrorsky #blueskynightmarket

Today I told my son: "When I was your age, we didn't have video games. If we wanted to play Frogger, we had to poke a frog with a stick across the highway and hope we didn't get hit."

Since Ken Foree will be at the next con I'll also be at (QC Fright Con, June 26-28), I created a Dawn of the Dead print for the occasion! I utilized colors seen in a sunrise (also green, cuz zombies) and I say it turned out quite well! It'll be available at my booth at the show. #horrorsky

#nowwatching Creepshow 2 It's definitely not the first one, which was pretty dang iconic... At least the 4k remaster looks excellent. 😑 #horrorsky #filmsky

Inks done! #wip #wipart #comicart #illustration #horrorart

How's about we reimagine BAD movies into good movies instead of the other way around?

🚨New design drop!🚨 Inspired by a prompt from a fan, the Embrace Pain design pays homage to the 1987 horror movie Hellraiser and the iconic Pinhead. Available in shirts and art prints. Get yours here👇 www.glowbatstore.com #horrorart #illustration #illustrationartist #horrorsky #blueskynightmarket

It just dawned on me that we don't have any good Crypt Keeper action figures. You'd think Neca would have already been on that, especially since he's got tons of different outfits they could rerelease him in.

It's The Muppet Show with our very special guest star Hedorah!

#nowwatching The Dead Zone, wherein Christopher Walken has his hair improved by a five-year coma. Also Marting Sheen plays a politician, which he's clearly very good at because he's done it so many times. #filmsky #horrorsky

#nowwatching Burn, Witch, Burn, which, and this is a secret, I bought partly because I love the cover art. Also, the Kino Lorber remaster looks amazing. #filmsky #horrorsky #horror

Since I'll be working a con at the end of the month with one of the Slumber Party Massacre ladies, I created this new print to have available to get signed! The design is a mix of retro horror movie poster illustration and punk aesthetics and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. #horrorsky

This morning I'm taking my daughter to a cat cafe, and I assume the cats will all have escaped and I'll have to track them down, fighting bad guys along the way. At least, that's how they are in the Yakuza games, which up until now are my only experience with cat cafes.

The March design is now live! This month, I did a really fun and colorful illustration inspired by Tarman from The Return of the Living Dead. Fun fact: the print version has the word "Brains!" written 107 times! Get yours here: www.glowbatstore.com #horror #zombie #blueskynightmarket #horrorsky

Well, at least Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan won, even if Sinners didn't win best picture. Also Amy Madigan winning for Weapons is a nice surprise.

I tried playing the original NES TMNT game and now I feel old cuz I gave up after 10 minutes and one continue. I used to be able to get a lot further in it when I was, like, 10.

My daughter's friend called the new Pennywise shirt "creepy." Guess I nailed the illustration then. 🤣 #illustration #horrorsky #spookysky

Their deaths are no different than if Trump put a gun to their heads and pulled the trigger. He killed them and I hope every Iowan knows it.
