Sketchbook warm-up from a couple days ago, highlighters/ Pilot Parallel pens, Black Magic ink & eyedropper tool, iridescent paint.
Sometimes I put together themed movie marathons to binge some night. These are "Favorite 80s Adaptations of Stephen King Books". (For me, THE SHINING feels like a totally separate, unique, & weirdly timeless thing, & CARRIE & 'SALEM's LOT are from the 70s ) #stephenking #80shorror #80sstephenking
I'm working on the 2026 Coolidge Halloween poster & looking over all the ones I've illustrated since 2003. Here's Jodie the angel floating outside 112 Ocean Avenue. (The first time I tried Google Earth I went to the Amityville house & looked for Jodie)
Some vintage design inspiration for the final cover of HOME FOR LITTLE CONJURORS Book 1, available at misterreusch.etsy.com #horror #indiehorror #newhorror #graphicnovel #Halloween #witches #blackmagic #indiecomics #witchcraft #occult #blackcat #ghost #witch #homemademasks #animalmasks #misterreusch
Process work for what became the cover for HOME FOR LITTLE CONJURORS Book 1. 108 pages, full-color, digitally painted, first in a longer series about witches in present-day New England. Horror & dark humor, comes with a souvenir mask, too! misterreusch.etsy.com #blackmagic #horrorcomics #witches
My original cover for HOME FOR LITTLE CONJURORS Book 1 didn't have any of the really saturated October foliage colors shown in the actual story so I scrapped it & started over. Seems more like a late-November scene. Book 1 available at misterreusch.etsy.com #horror #indiehorror #indiecomics #witches
It’s so hot & humid my donuts were stuck together. I figured maybe they were a bonded pair like at an animal shelter & didn’t want to break them apart so I opened my mouth 2x as wide and made it work #2getha4eva #bigmouthstrikesagain
My 1st car was an old black Saab with 2 bumperstickers I cut and placed to read BLACK SAABBATH. I had to buy new (old) wheels last week so I’m getting a vintage Zorlac sticker & a big SO WHAT so my white Ford Explorer matches James Hetfield’s 1986 white Gibson Explorer misterreusch.etsy.com
More old 90s sketchbook pictures now available as 8" x 10" prints at misterreusch.etsy.com Pretty much every day back then I'd experiment with the eyedropper tool in the cap of Higgins Black Magic ink & draw random warm-up pictures, then add washes and white gouache #higginsblackmagic #sketchbook
These 2 random 90s sketchbook paintings ended up getting revised a bit and becoming 2 of the 3 original SE7EN designs for Burton Snowboards over 20 years ago. Signed 8" x 10" prints of these versions now for sale at misterreusch.etsy.com #sketchbook #90s #burtonsnowboards #burtonseven
In the 90s I filled up 30 9" x 12" & 11" x 14" 100-page sketchbooks with ink & eyedropper tool & gouache pictures. I was a MassArt illustration student just starting out & this work got me my first editorial, bandposter, & snowboard jobs. Just started adding 8" x 10" prints to misterreusch.etsy.com
Always wondered how the person who lights it & makes everyone around supernaturally paralyzed didn’t get frozen, too. Must be secret witchy stuff. New print at misterreusch.etsy.com #handofglory
Little happy clown painted thiccccc with acrylics & fluorescents on wood panel for upcoming FLOWER POWER 100+ artist group show at Blue Triangle gallery
Happy July 3 to zombie fans everywhere. The Coolidge hired me to design this 2019 poster for a month of zombie film screenings, featuring Linnea Quigley's Trash from RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD. This film also screened at the 2011 Horror Marathon. Both at misterreusch.etsy.com #RotLD #TrashZombie
Just learned last night Brass Hearse scored a new film by Brad Michael Elmore when they surprised me with an early Bandcamp download of the soundtrack. And tonight I learned the album cover they hired me for back in 2017 appears next to their name in the credits. #brasshearse #albumcoverart
Thanks a million to everyone who’s been buying posters, prints, & my graphic novel HOME FOR LITTLE CONJURORS Book 1 this summer. I’ve been mailing these out each week & am glad they are haunting new homes. Available at misterreusch.etsy.com #horror #horrorcomic #halloween #animalmasks #witchcraft
Life imitating art. I noticed tonight's full moon peeking through the trees in the bottom windowpane while a mask I made in 1996 was sitting on my drawing table. My vintage Scholastic poster on studio wall's looking the same.
I loved Beastie Boys' 1992 CHECK YOUR HEAD so much I titled 6 bonus page pdfs in HOME FOR LITTLE CONJURORS Book 1 “check_yr_hed” one through six, 34 years later, as a little homage to the cd's awesome fold-out photo collage. HOME FOR LITTLE CONJURORS for sale at misterreusch.etsy.com #horrorcomics

I rewatched an old favorite last night, DOWN BY LAW from 1986 by Jim Jarmusch. I saw it in the early 90s as a MassArt student & felt like it had a similar feel as the cool student films my friends were screening at the weekly MassArt Film Society.
Eyedropper tool, Black Magic ink, white gouache & photoshop sketchbook warm-up from last week. 2 of the main characters from my graphic novel, available at misterreusch.etsy.com #homeforlittleconjurors #witch #blackcat #indiehorror #HigginsBlackMagicInk #horror #horrorcomics #graphicnovel

No new 2026 Haverhill CiderFeast poster but 2024 & 2025 posters are still available at misterreusch.etsy.com Last June I convince my pal to have me do some new colors rather than reuse the exact same art & just change the date. #posterart #eventposter #hardcider #bostonterriers
Just added the 1st 8” x 10” of my Small Print Summer series to misterreusch.etsy.com. I reworked an older idea that was originally a large painting on a wall in Salem. I'm going to try to make next week’s print simpler, this one started to get busy. #blackbear #outhouse #smallprint #misterreusch
Some more bare-bones original inks from HOME FOR LITTLE CONJURORS Book 1. When I was younger & uh, stupider, I'd spend months drawing 1 picture, just using a 6x0 Rapidigraph pen to stipple a whole range of value with squillions of microscopic dots. I don't work that way now. misterreusch.etsy.com
Every panel of HOME FOR LITTLE CONJURORS BOOK 1 for sale at misterreusch.etsy.com was done pretty simply with pencil & Pilot Parallel Pens on paper & collaged into place since I knew color & texture would be doing most of the work. Here are some of the bare-bones drawings.
