Very excited to share the cover art I was lucky enough to illustrate for a brand new 4K/BluRay Steelbook release of @saw VI via @lionsgate / @lionsgatehorror. Endless thanks to @psdopamine, @spacemuseum, et al for this opportunity! I’ll reveal the rest of it when it’s officially released; available for preorder now. #sawVI #horrorart #horrorillustration #physicalmediaforever #steelbook 15 Sep 2026 ā€œA Demon With Licenseā€ by Mark W. Richards SHADOWS IN THE DARK 5 A Horror Exhibition Available Now! @herocomplexgallery @heavy.hand https://hcgart.com/horror 09 Oct 2024 Very excited to reveal ā€œWeird & Pissed Off,ā€ my officially licensed poster for The Thing, as part of @herocomplexgallery’s Tribute to the Works of John Carpenter.

Luckily we’re both good, but Mean Gene is totaled, and that deer is pretty messed up somewhere in the woods. Please buy my merch so I can afford this adventure. Use code OHDEER at www.shopheavyhand.com for 10% off your whole order until further notice! I’ll also still be set up with plenty of merch tomorrow and Sunday at Hell City. 06 Nov 2026 2-days back to back on these faces squished together in grotesque fashion.

Upon my abrupt exit from tomb gallery in early June 2025, all I wanted was ownership of my own artwork; never asked for money, never will, wouldn’t see a cent anyway. Some months later it was clarified to the owner (my former business partner) that none of my artistic contributions should continue to be used, most notably an older version of this Hereditary t shirt (the one pictured is the new version I have in stock), the business logo, the majority of The Exorcist & Friday the 13th t-shirts, background illustration/title/color for ANOES & TCM t-shirts, title/color for Candyman & Halloween t-shirts, graphic layout for all of the above, and the list goes on. This simple request was met with a nice big fuck you. And now, there is a photo on the site being used to promote prints, showing 3 of my illustrations (including my own personal avatar) from before tomb was even an idea. šŸ‘Ž 12 Oct 2026 All set up along the scenic Riverwalk in PVD for @horrordepot ā€˜s Dark Arts Festival! Grab some shirts, posters, stickers, koozies, shorts, complementary squishy candy organs & creepy coffin tchotchkes.
