About Me


Please note that this is NOT a "personal" MySpace profile.
It is purely for the promotion of my artwork.

I'm an artist, born and raised in Mobile, Alabama. I graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design , where I majored in Sequential Art and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree.
My work has been published internationally and domestically, it has been featured in several art shows and conventions, and has won a handful of awards. But most of the paintings I make are seen by many but only noticed by a few - which is completely intentional.
I am also very proud to be a Warlock of the Church of Satan . If you hold any pseudo- or anti-CoS sentiments or opinions, do not bother sending me a Friend Request. And if you do harbor such and you've managed to get onto my so-called "Friends List" please remove yourself forthwith.
Feel free to add one of the banners below for THE COFFINRUST CONSPECTUS: Celebrating Five Years of CoffinRust.com to your MySpace page. Just copy and paste the codes found beneath each banner.
You can also find some of my art in these fine publications:
And look for the release of THE DEVIL'S GUITAR, of which I've done the cover art:
I create the hand-painted Baphomet Altar Plaques , which are available at CoSEmporium.com (also visit the CoS Emporium's MySpace page). The plaques are completely hand-painted in meticulous detail on an 18" or 36" diameter wooden plaque. This is the TRADEMARKED Church of Satan Sigil of Baphomet, of which I have been granted permission by the High Priest of the CoS, Peter H. Gilmore, to use for this purpose.

My Interests

Art, Satanism and The Church of Satan, a wide but discriminating variety of music, films, and books.

I'd like to meet:


"Most human interaction, being nothing more than small talk and games, is no waste of time to those so engaged. It is, in fact, necessary to their survival, for they would die of boredom otherwise. To the maker, the archetype, the self-sustainer, human interaction is usually a waste of the most precious thing in his vital existence: Time. Time spent 'being liked' could better be devoted to liking being."
- Anton LaVey
"...there is rarely a more burdensome feeling than that which one has when talking with or listening to a person whom one does not like or in whose conversation one is not interested."
- Sandor S. Feldman, M.D.

PLEASE NOTE:
Do keep in mind that the term "Friends List" is, for the most part, a grave misnomer.
Also, since this profile is strictly for business, the "Top Friends" List is strictly reserved for business, art and/or project-related profiles of literal friends, close acquaintances and actual associates that I fully support, instead of their personal/private profiles.

Music:

I enjoy a very wide but very discriminating variety of music. My wife and I own over 1,300 CDs, and my favorites include Tom Waits, Little Willie John, Jelly Roll Morton, Cannibal Corpse, The Misfits, and King Diamond, just to name a few.

Movies:

Horror is my favorite genre, ranging from silent classics to modern slashers. Favorite directors include Ingmar Bergman, Alfred Hitchcock, Lucio Fulci and George A. Romero.

Television:

Red Dwarf.

Books:

The Satanic ScripturesEssays in SatanismThe Fire From WithinBearing the Devil's MarkBook of Satanic QuotationsAndrophilia
