HaggisVitae's Profile

Bio

My work reflects my love of all things creepy, strange, nonsensical, surreal, silly, dark, gothic, and most definitely vintage.

I like my work (especially the paintings and photoshopped pieces) to appear as if they were found in the dusty attic of some forgotten insane asylum or home for wayward netherworld creatures. Pieces reflect that place where darkness, humor and mystery collide.

Influences: Tim Burton, Terry Gilliam, Brothers Quay, Jan Svankmeyer, EDWARD GOREY, Dave McKean, Nick Bantock, Barbara Hodgson, Edgar Allen Poe, Charles Dickens, and the little monkey slamming around in my head.

Graduate of Tyler School of Art, Temple University and in my second incarnation, Thomas Jefferson University. I look through a microscope by day and create things by night.

I am also proud to announce my other Etsy store:

"H.V.Wordsmith" www.hvwordsmith.etsy.com

....there you will find only things relating to the beauty of the printed word, of the glory of fonts/typefaces, of the joy of antique text, and the splendor of single or paired words. Find pendants, paintings and more. Stop in, say HELLO!
