First of all, I know there is some overlap between my Letter Zero audience, and the backers of my Infestation project. So accept my apologies if you get multiple announcements from me. With that out of the way…
I am pleased to announce that my second Kickstarter campaign is officially live! It’s called “Inner Demons.” Can I tell you about it and humbly ask for your support?
In the year leading up to my Infestation Kickstarter, I made a surprising discovery as I experimented with thermal paper, heat, and chemicals. I kept encountering shapes that reminded me of disfigured faces.
Whenever this happened I would save these scraps until I had a huge collection of partial skulls, miscellaneous eyes, random noses, and various assorted disfigurations. Then, like Frankenstein, I assembled the pieces and marveled at the beautiful monsters that emerged from the darkness.
When I was finished I had a collection of over 100 faces. I mailed these morbid creations to my friends as a Halloween gift in 2022. Some of you may have been following me long enough that you received one of my original demon postcards. Back then I joked that this art represented my inner demons. But like any joke, there is a hint of seriousness beneath the surface. Indeed, I was struggling. But, talking about mental health is not something you can do when you are suffering. That requires some distance, healing, and reflection. That’s where I am at today and I am ready to share my “Inner Demons” art (and the story behind it) with a broader audience.
I’ve remastered all 100+ demon prints and there are various levels of art for you to choose from. I just flipped the switch to launch my campaign, and I will let the Kickstarter page do the rest of the talking. Doors close on Halloween. It would be honor if you continue to support my unique art.

Thanks, as always. Your friend,
