The Paynes’ Asylum

Welcome to the asylum.  This dark graphic novel follows Doctor Paynes’ attempts to confront and control the darkness in all of us. But in this house in the hollow, one can never trust their own senses.

Written by Karl Custer, drawn, colored, and lettered by me.  Check out Karl’s own site at http://www.uncleyo.com/

The following are some screen caps.  If you want to see more, spread the word about this delightfully dark tell. Hopefully you’ll be able to follow the good Doctor from your local book store.

Died Blue

This was a portrait study done the summer of 2008.  I wanted to attempt a portrait that was reminiscent of the Victorian Era.  I used a reference of myself for the lighting, but mostly she is drawn from my imagination.  She was a practice for my painting skills, and is still one of my favorite pieces.

Fall is Coming

Fall is quickly arriving here in Bucks County, which is always my favorite time of year.  I find that very appropriate timing to getting this website up and running.  I’ll try to keep you, the reader, updated with the artistic goings on of my life, and my maybe even my thoughts and some art–movies, theater, music, what have you.  I hope that will keep you entertained.

New art will be posted as I can, so check back often.

October and Halloween is swiftly approaching.  If you haven’t yet, check out http://www.activeacreshauntedfarm.com/ for a look at the haunted house I work at.  It keeps me busy, and I will certainly be posting more about it as we go along.

Thanks for stopping by.
