About The Artwork
The Midnight Society is the secret and selective group of friends who gather together in a hidden clearing in the woods to tell their best scary and horror stories. The location of the place is hidden and each member is bonded to keeping the secret of where the location is. Not very often, but usually when one existing member leaves or moves away a new person can take their place. The way a new member is nominated, and given his or her chance to join is for an existing member to get the unanimous approval from the whole group or to just be brought in and nominated by a member with seniority. The nominee is lead to the clearing with their vision concealed (usually with a blindfold or with a bag over their head). It is usually kept on until the end of the story, but sometimes it is not. Once they’re brought in, the leader explains the rules to the nominee. 1. The location of the clearing is still kept secret to him or her unless he or she makes it in. 2. The nominee has to tell the group a great story. Then afterwards the Midnight Society all votes on how well the story was and whether or not they’ll let him or her join, and the vote has to be unanimous meaning every current member has to say yes. 3. If the nominee doesn’t make it in, their vision is concealed. That way they won’t know where the location is when they are taken back to town. Usually they are not given another chance, although occasionally some Nominees who almost made it in, get another chance to try and join. Source: Are You Afraid of the Dark Wiki

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
