I've gotten quite a lot of emails and comments and such asking about the tattoo on my shoulder, so here: I will tell you!

The tattoo is a combination of two illustrations from the trilogy Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, which is a collection of folk tales compiled by Alvin Schwartz and illustrated by Stephen Gammell. The screaming girl is from the story "The Girl who Stood on a Grave," and the church... er, I forget which story the church is from. I believe it's in the second book.

So there you have it! I hope I've been able to satiate your curiosities.

I knew it! Stephen Gammell is amazing, I've been in love with his artwork since I was a kid. I still have the third book.



Note the 15 years of loving wear and tear =)

My favorite story was Harold, about the scarecrow that skins the farmer at the end of the story...

Sigh, they just dont make children's books like they used to.

I love your tattoo. I recognized it immediately because I used to read the Scary Stories books as a kid (and I was slightly obsessed with them). Great ink idea!
