LAIR OF THE BEAST

art blog of henchman, editor, and official court artist of St John Starling

as a lifelong artist, I've always made art as gifts for loved ones, and very rarely have I received art made for me - occasionally a non-artist friend of mine will doodle a little snail for me and I always love it so much

anyway - I melt in an instant when someone makes something with me in mind; I never expect it and it gets me bullseye straight through the heart every single time

how it feels when you made that just for me

my bespoke reaction images created for my own use have received considerable praise - now that I've assembled a collection of reasonable size, I'd like to offer them freely to anyone who'd like to use them

year-end review of emotions that I experienced in 2025

No one talks about how difficult it can be to keep your mind on your work when you keep accidentally brushing fingers with your devastatingly attractive boss over the corpse you're reanimating.

Today on Patreon: A new kind of post!

My artist and loyal henchman @beastliness has been endeavoring to get in the habit — when working on any of their more elaborate pieces art — of saving snapshots at various stages of development in order to be able to share a little of the process.
