#grindark updates

The Beetlejuice and Stobotnik Mafia prints are up! And so is the Kablooey Candle, since I got a really great response on that one.

If you want one, a few, or heck, all of them, the shop is over here! I just took the first batch of prints off the printer, and they look SO good: I can't wait for them to find homes that will love them as much as I do. "Justice for Bob" looks like an old propaganda flyer and I used comic halftones on Wolf Jackson to give him that Golden Age feel.

📌OH RIGHT I SHOULD DO ONE OF THESE PINNED THINGIES like the cool kids.

Hi, I'm Hazel - 40something he/him FTM, currently carving out a life as an artist & author when I'm not at the Day Job. I like to describe Grindark Studio as the natural result of what happens when someone's raised on equal amounts of Lisa Frank, 90s neon, and Tim Burton. It's very hopepunk around here, no hinges in sight. Cringe is dead.

📌What I Post Here:

1. My Art!

#grindarkstudio art - NO AI, no plagiarism. If I'm inspired by another piece or I use a photo for reference, I'll always share those as part of the finished piece.

2. My Novel Series: Lines of Power

A modern/urban fantasy series set in a fictional Connecticut town. If you like character-driven stories with stakes that build, plots that intertwine, breadcrumbs that turn out to Actually Mean Something, relationships that read like people you know, and kickass secret magic guardians ... you'll probably love these.

I've been worldbuilding long enough for the world to drink legally in the US ... and all of the currently released volumes are available on my website. I plan on writing up some intro posts: check the #lines of power intro hashtag to see them. Artwork that's related will also be tagged with #lines of power ... you should be able to meet a few characters already!

3. Tags I Will Try To Use Consistently:

#hazelFAQ for asks, #hazel.txt for text posts, #grindark for stuff that fits my art style/aesthetic, #grindark commissions and #hazel reblogs for what it says on both tins. When I announce anything new on my other links, I use #grindark updates.

3. Fandoms, As Shame Has No Home Here:

Old Gods of Appalachia

The Dresden Files

The Addams Family (all versions)
