BACKSTORY

It’s 1980-something in a quiet corner of St. Louis. Violent crime has seen a noticeable decline, and everyday, run-of-the-mill families–like the Smith family–are feeling optimistic about the future. Beneath the surface, however, a darkness is spreading. Ancient rituals have been reborn as cheap party games, turning the weekly Smith family game night into a harrowing nightmare of bloodshed.

 

SLASHER Part 1 follows Janice Smith, the loving matriarch, as she heeds the call of the ancient darkness and obliges its unquenchable thirst for bloodlust!

FEATURED ARTIST PART 1

My name is Keith, but in the art world I go by KDA. I’m a self-taught illustrator based in Kentucky. I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember, but it didn’t get serious until the beginning of 2020, started digital illustration in 2021.

I would say Grafitti is probably one of my biggest inspirations, with video games, horror, and cartoons following close behind, but I would say my work is like 2000s Cartoon Network meets graffiti and Punk. Kind of hard to categorize it myself.

I’ve done a lot of work for clients in the past, but recently I’ve taken it a step further by creating my own merch. Website running and vending at conventions is next. I’m excited to see where this part of my journey will take me.

BACKSTORY

It’s 1980-something. Haunted by the memories of her last tragic game night, Janice has fled her quiet suburb of St. Louis to start fresh in Philadelphia. What troubles Janice most of all is that, despite the horror and disgust, she can’t resist how invigorating it was to submit to the darkness and kill. Deep in the back of her mind, she still hears the whispers of the darkness calling out to her.

 

In SLASHER Part 2 Janice Smith wrestles with what she is becoming. Will she submit to the darkness or resist its intoxicating bloodlust!?

FEATURED ARTIST PART 3

Hi, I’m Ry Scott, a self-taught artist, illustrator, and designer from Metro Detroit, currently living in the city. I’ve been drawing on and off for my entire life, but started taking it more seriously when the pandemic put my music endeavors on hold.

 

Today, I’m aiming for a tattoo apprenticeship and have been focusing most of my effort on improving my artistic abilities with that in mind, while also creating intentional tattoo designs (mostly flash.)

 

I’m also available for commission for just about anything, but especially love illustration. Reach out on IG if you’re interested!
