For my art update this week, I wanted to share a look at the brand-new Tara Normal story I’m working on: Tara Normal Activity. This is a darker take on the story and character you already love. This new series will only deal with ghost hunting and spirits and demons. Above is how I will draw ghosts in the story- obviously a more horrific version than I’ve offered up before. I hope you like this new direction. I think you’ll like the scares I have planned.

Don’t forget to ‘like’ Tara Normal on Facebook:

Join me in 3 days June 8-10 at Through the Veil in Atlanta, GA. I’ll be doing caricatures and zombie caricatures and I’ll have some TaraNormal merch & comics with me. This is my 1st time ever being in Atlanta so I’m psyched. My friend Chip Coffey will be there along with SyFy’s Josh Gates,Ben Hansen and many other folks from the paranormal field. Hope to see you there!
