Dead Man’s Hand!

October Will host a convention like no other!
The Dead Man’s Hand Expo! A horror tour de force.

 

We’ll have a monster makeup contest, to be judged by the famous Ricky Vitus, well known for his role on the tv show Face Off! Email Jeff if you are interested in participating! jeff@deadmanshandexpo.com

Authors and artists of all stripes will be in attendance! Again email jeff@deadmanshandexpo.com if you are interested in attending!

There will be panels and book readings for the authors, and a gallery for the artists!

The show is open to vendors of anything unique and creepy!

Pinned and mounted insects, custom clothing and accessories, dolls and statues, if you’ve been to some of the larger horror conventions, you know the deal!

I’ll be running a contest for the best horror short stories to include in my latest anthology!
Winners get a free booth (if they attend), a free copy of the book, and the original drawing I do for their short story! That’s right, continuing the tradition, I’ll do an illustration for each story!

 

I’ll be holding a seminar on “How to Make it as an Artist”, recording an episode of my podcast Skull Session with Dan Henk, and co-judging the tattoo tournament!

There will be a limited number of tables available to tattoo artists. 50 out of 100 are left, and we have 10 spots still open for the tattoo tournament!
This will be  much like the vaunted Tattoo Wars, No bullshit flash ideas or time limits like Ink Master! Contestants will be able to concentrate on their specialty. That, ”a true ink master can do anything” is bullshit. It’s 2024. People specialize now.
All tattoo award winners receive our custom made :zombie hand: trophy!

 

If you haven’t already signed up, don’t miss out!

The unfortunate reality of life!

To this day, this is still my best-selling shirt! Over 800 copies sold, and I keep letting it go out of print because I’m so tired of people only asking me about that shirt!
I even have two prices at conventions, one for regular people, and a higher price for doucbe bags.

The start of my art career

My first paid art job, back in the ’90s and before I attended art school, was doing political cartoons for Madcap Magazine..They sold copies in news boxes on Capitol Hill, and because I’m mostly libertarian, I managed to piss off everyone!!I got more hate mail than any of their other artists, but I also sold more copies!
