The Witching Hour

I am launching my new design label, Abeo Bestia Design! I have decided to formalize the conceptual art that I make into individual lines that will be available for sale! I am hoping to create a couple different lines of books and paper goods that will embody the conceptual notes that intrigue me as well as be interesting, marketable designs that can appeal to a wide audience. As soon as I have these lines up and running there will be a section of this website where the pieces will be available for purchase!

Wish me luck!

Hello All,

New Ephemera Press, the collaboration between Kelly Ball and I is coming to an end! However, the farewell to New Ephemera is making way for a brand new endeavor for us! We have mutually decided that the work we want to make is going to be more hands on, more community based and more independent. We no longer want to spend our artistic time serving custom commissions for individual people. The new collaboration we are brewing is going to be much more upbeat, fun, and driven from our own minds and what is important to us as artists... we hope you will share in the love and spread the joy! Check back here for updates!

Cheers!
