WELCOME TO THE DMU

A while back I decided to quit a touring band because it was just becoming too much to juggle with being a successful family man… but here lies the problem. I’m an artist, and this incessant need to create with what I now perceived as a limited outlet left me feeling anxious. So I started writing music and creating art digitally… getting out all my ideas that I could sculpt and obsess over in my free time. What has culminated from this venture has brought me here… with this idea. I’m not a band. Im just a man with some “cool” shit that Id like to share with the world. So with that said, I give you the DARK MARKERS project. A collection of artistic imagery coupled with sound. Each piece/product/movement is a window into a universe that I have been sculpting over time. A cosmic and psychedelic journey within my brain, or possibly the Pleiadian high council of seven that is controlling me. Not sure. Regardless, I’ve decided to turn this into a tangible item with sonic accompaniment. Each package contains an article of apparel, an assortment of art, adhesive advertisement, and acid trippin audio. Alright.

For those of you curious as to how I generate this absurd imagery. It is done mostly with the pen/lasso tool in PhotoShop, and I use a ton of reference imagery taken from the World Wide Web. Now you know…

*UPDATE*

It's June 2023 and I'm ready to push out this shit again… About a year ago I quit creating this art to focus on other stuff for a while, like my well-being and my family. Living everyday eyeballs deep in this world was taking a toll and I needed a break… but I'm ready to revisit the art, the music, this site, and the awful promotion/sales side of it that you need in order to push this crap out into the world. The Pleiadian Lazers have fired back up and my handler MrrG MrrfP has returned… so I guess I’m ready… aside from Dark Markers Tees, I've also started creating DEADSIREN DMTees. The Art is made possible with the help of AI. I believe since I've already cut my teeth ACTUALLY CREATING art, I’m allowed to dip my toe into the POOL of Artificial Intelligence. This way, when the Singularity Event happens, Supreme Mother Brain will know that Cosmic Christy might be worth keeping around…?

*UPDATE*

It is January 2024 and I’m in pretty good spirits… or am I? Late last year, while visiting New Orleans for the 6th time, my Wife mysteriously found this bookstore we had never noticed in prior trips (and I was too weird & stubborn & lazy to google the Shops actual opening date), so we were intrigued. After a few moments, I found a section that had an Ars Goetia paperback. “The Leser Key of Solomon” its called as well, I think. I was intrigued and bought the book, read through it, and was instantly inspired by a new idea to obsess over. I decided to try and create my version of all 72 demons that are within this concept, Sigil’s and all. As of this moment, I have created 12 and in the time it has taken to create these pieces of work, some weird shit has been happening in my home. I’m not going to give it more credence by typing out in detail all the things that have transpired, but needless to say, I’m a tiny bit shook, and so is my Wife and 11-year-old.

But… I’m going to venture on & complete this concept.
