Surreal and visceral. Horrifically familiar. Twisted reflections of reality through a cynical glass. This is the core of CARBON HAZE STUDIOS, the home of digital artist Michael J. King. Lurking in the shadows here are our own nightmares, the dreams we fear to give voice to, our hidden obsessions, and the beauty of the grotesque. There is nothing for us to fear . . . except ourselves.

No sooner is my ass back in the chair here than I'm prepping to be off to Los Angeles for the Fangoria convention at the end of the month. A large contingent from the City Slab crew will be there, including the folks that are based in the area, so if you're around feel free to stop by and check out the swag we'll be pushing like pimps!

Info for the con is at Fangoria.com and here is the complete convention information (or close to it).

So, a week from today I'll be heading off to Salt Lake City for the World Horror Convention, which runs from 3/27-3/30. Feel free to stop by the City Slab table in the vendor's room and say hi, shoot the breeze, deliver beer...y'know the drill.
