I have always had a passion for art. I can remember getting in a lot of trouble for drawing with a crayon in a babysitters closet once when I was like 5 or 6, so it has always been inside of me. I am one who needs many outlets & mediums to function and get my work completed & that includes digital manipulation but I prefer to paint with oils & acrylics. If I feel like painting with a pallet knife, I do. If I feel like painting with my fingers, I do.
I am very passionate about my work & am always working on something. Everyone has a story & I tell mine through my work & have little control over what comes out of me. I do it because I love & have to do it.
..I am also available for custom design, from websites, to book & CD covers, logos; if you need a design I can help you! Contact me here on MySpace or visit Immortal Essence for more information. [www.immortalessence.com]

Is there someone there? Is there someone there? Come talk to us tonight. We’re asking for the dead to speak, It’s only us . . .my wife and me. Come tell us how you died.

Tell us more, tell us more, what brought you here to me? Tell us how you died tonight. Tell us when you died tonight. Tell us what brings you here tonight. Keep spelling it for me.
The figure eight continues and around the board it moves. It’s slowing down, it’s slowing down. Come, spirit, talk to me right now, Tell us tonight, because we want to know . . Then the oracle stopped on the letter O.
You’re coming in so very clear, Now tell us why you’re roaming here, on this dark and stormy night. Speak to me, speak to me, Travel through this board to me. Tell us why you sleep tonight beneath your resting tomb. Speak to me, speak to me, speak to me now. Then the oracle stopped on the U.

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
Happy Haunted Halloween!!!!
"The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall
say where the one ends, and where the other begins?" ~Edgar Allan Poe WWW.CEMETERYPRINTS.COM
Are now available to order for your Halloween parties, Haunted Attractions, Concerts, Movie Premieres, and Zombie Walks!
We take a regular photo of you, turn you into a zombie, and place you on the very cookies you choose to sell at your event, or hand out as treats...but that's not all we can do.
We can take your logo, your promo posters, our photos of your cast members or attractions, and place them on the cookies too!
These are literally one of a kind treats, the cookies you order will be shipped to nobody else. Each cookie has a vivid image of your choice and are delicious. They come wrapped in cellophane with your choice of ribbon color and are then packaged in individual boxes (as seen in the photo above, boxes are optional). These are truly, edible works of dark art.
If you would like more info on pricing or zombie makeovers, feel free to contact me here on Myspace. You won't be disappointed!
I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure
of the landscape -- the loneliness of it -- the dead feeling of winter. Something
waits beneath it -- the whole story doesn't show.
