No Creature Too Small Two-color 11x17” Screenprint Lately I have been thinking a lot about the traditions surrounding death and mourning (shocking, I know.) I find it fascinating how these rituals completely transcend religion and offer us comfort knowing that we have treated an empty vessel with such respect. Creating a monument in memoriam is something many of us have done since childhood, whether it be for our beloved pets, a bird fallen from a tree, or a dead insect while playing in the yard. We practice grief and mourning because it is part of life, and we understand that from a young age. This print is comprised of photographs and illustration work done by myself. The cross was made of twigs and grass and planted on top of a grave that I made for a carpenter bee last summer. *LIMITED TO 40* . . . . . #screenprint #blackcoffiend #illustrator #art #screenprinting #illustration #grief #memorial #rats #vegan #bees #artist #artwork #print #printmaking #massachusetts #animals #wildlife #death #mourning #funeral #ritual #blue #ink #poster #design #photography #printmakers (at Salem, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7tZ1ylj0uQ/?igshid=4hsnlfxd7qu1

I expanded on this and submitted it to a brewery for a label contest. I probably lost because they thought it would make 5th graders want to drink. . . . . .#blackcoffiend #jimmyvernon #vampires #comics #illustration #characterdesign #monsters #horrormovies #horror #darkart #illustrator #vampireslayer #teenagevampireslayer #ghouls #spooky #halloween #october #beer #beerlabel #labelart #adventure #cartoons #comic #poster #salemmassachusetts #bats #hauntedhouse #vampirehouse (at Salem, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5tQ3e3FRwI/?igshid=pwveefu77b0u

Happy birthday to the most wonderful, talented, funny, cute, and smart person I have ever met. I would be lost without you, and I am so excited to see how much positivity you bring into our life in the next year! @maryxwhite I also can’t wait to hear you make up more words to Christmas songs because you still don’t know the right lyrics. . . . . . . #marywhite #blackcoffiend #happybirthday #birthdaygirl #wonderful #hairstylist #treasure #gooeyshowofemotion otion #christmassongs #q #art #artist (at Melrose, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4xT_8nD_5b/?igshid=18ibq9imz4s42

A VARIANT HAS ARRIVED. After the original run sold out I was asked to make a handful more for a film director. I didn’t want to run the same print again because I said I wouldn’t and that’s important to me. So I ran a variant. Go read about it on the product page to learn more! . . . . . . #screenprint #screenprinting #blackcoffiend #illustration #illustrator #poster #art #printmaking #truecrime #dark #horror #tragedy #crowley #history #horrormovies documentary #fineart #printmakers #horrorstory #midwest #applevalley #ghost #haunted #ghosts #spirits #haunting #conspiracy #twilight (at Salem, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4vl393DWDH/?igshid=s4so5pw9un1j
