Illustrating Silent Nightmares: "Father Christmas"

A look at my interior artwork for Brian Evenson’s story in the horror anthology.

Here is another piece of interior artwork I drew for the horror anthology Silent Nightmares, coming out through Saga Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.

For this piece, I got to illustrate "Father Christmas" by Brian Evenson. It is a really unsettling story about a son who returns to say goodbye to his dying, abusive father, only to be pursued by a supernatural entity claiming to be him on Christmas Eve.

It was a blast getting to visually interpret such a dark, heavy concept for the collection.

Illustrating Silent Nightmares: "Lost Hearts"

Here is a look at some of the interior artwork I drew for the horror anthology Silent Nightmares, coming out through Saga Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.

For this piece, I got to illustrate "Lost Hearts" by Cynthia Pelayo. Cynthia is an incredible writer, and her essay "My Mother Was Margaret White" (from the book Why I Love Horror) is one of the most meaningful pieces I've ever read.

I ended up illustrating every story in this collection, and it’s been surreal getting to work on a book edited by Chuck Palahniuk and Michael Bailey.
