Dear Patrons,
Halloween is here and I don’t have a lot to show in terms of on-themed content though one could argue that with the horrors here, every day is Halloween. I’ve did a solo pumpkin-themed piece but wasn’t able to finish this one as it became more ambitious. However, the sketch is provided here within the secret link of this update.
And wow, the poll I put out in Journal 33 is rather enlightening isn’t it. Neck and neck on all 3 choices whether to see more infrequent CARTE DU JOURS, more frequent JOURNALS and those who can’t decide. I think I’ll take this into heart and find that balance. Perhaps switching up between 1 CARTE DU JOUR + 1 JOURNAL a month, or 3 JOURNALS per month.
I’ll keep it a short one as I hope you all enjoyed the previous CARTE DU JOUR update. Happy Halloween and the incoming festive period and…
Bon appétit!
The following are projects along with synopsis. It will mostly be repeated from previous journals but I will make some updates as the story evolves. If you see the project name without images, it means there are bonus images available through the exclusive download link found below below.
Bon appétit!
BIZARRE BAZAAR (more artwork in bonus content)
Young women from around the world go missing. Were some of them kidnapped? Or did they fall victim to a mysterious and cryptic internet rabbit hole concept referring to a trend found in the dark web, the one they call the Winding Stare? Not much is known as all its participants who completed the challenge would vanish without a trace. Selfie photos would eventually turn up through dark web chat rooms, the victim holding a note in various languages, saying “Eat Me”, along with a strange symbol and a tattoo and sometimes a presence of a plush toy pig, deer and various other domesticated animals. Are they AI generated fakes? Are they part of a sexualized stunt of this macabre game? What could this mean? And the meaning of the note can’t be that literal, can it? Internet rumors abound about this tried being connected to a mysterious group called the Spiderfly Society and an event called the Bizarre Bazaar. Nobody but those involved knows.
Featuring, the Vietnamese…
… the American…
… and more scenes from the Vietnamese.
LOBSTER’S BALL – AGONY OF DEFEAT (more artwork in bonus content)
The dreaded cargo vessel LOBSTER’S BALL makes its port of call in New Orleans. Masquerades. Mardi Gras. Processions. Voodoo. A celebrated collegiate gymnast who has drawn the ire of the sports commission executives with dark appetites. But first, they would like to watch her use those fine muscles to run, jump and escape. You could call it, staying with the seafood theme, a kind of a “Squid Game“.
PAINTED BIRD IN LOST CARCOSA (more artwork in bonus content)
An accountant finds some financial discrepancies within her corporation and as a reward, is invited by her higher ups to a corporate event in a secluded rural part of Southeastern US. In the end, she finds herself caught in a conspiracy of hidden secret societies of the Old World who has a hobby of hunting the most beautiful game.
FRUIT BASKET KILLER (more artwork in bonus content)
A serial killer operating on the Eastern Coast of the U.S. responsible for a string of disappearances and murders. Only the victims’ heads are left in a fruit basket on a kitchen counter of various unoccupied homes that have been put up on the market. However, the rest of the bodies are unaccounted for. The victims tend to be housewives, teachers and counselors from well-to-do families and the FBI have built an extensive profile of the potential suspects, that the perpetrator might be a young troubled youth who harbors resentment to teachers or of older women.
HAND-DRAWN WORKS FROM YORE (more artwork in bonus content)
This section is where I revisit and dig up some of my old physically drawn artworks that I’ve scanned. I’ll try to do this once every so often. I’ve not really set up anything officially yet, but I’m slowly opening the door to the thought of selling these original hand-drawn artworks for those who are interested. Full artworks are found in the download link.
I also may dig up some occasional comic strip style works I’ve done way way back, one you see here with the uncensored version in the bonus content section. If folks are interested, I could keep posting them in each update, almost like what the old newspapers do for each publication.
ODDS AND ENDS (more artwork in bonus content)
And again, here’s a reminder that there are more bonus artworks exclusive for DISCIPLE members and higher. Some of these include rough sketches, ideas I’ve been playing around with or artworks that are not currently attached to any project.
Log in and click on the download link above to view them in all its uncensored glory.
