What can I create for you?
Hello and welcome to my site. I’m an Artist who has worked as a Graphic Designer, Photographer, Illustrator and more. With over 15 years experience in a fluid industry I can take your concept from sketch to final production. If you’ve a venture coming up and do not yet need my work as a designer or photographer I’m sure I can be of service as a Creative Consultant. Please feel free to browse my work and if you like contact me and let’s see what we can create.
Recently I was hired by Untied Street Tours to shoot an Urban Tour of theiirs. As we went down Broad St., in Nashville, TN I spied this drummer and did a quick shot of the man. I hope you like it.
Below is a running blog on the creation of a Horror Box titled Grinch in Wonderland.
Unlike previous boxes, this box is being painted using Gouache instead of acrylic. I wanted a medium that had the qiuck drying property if acrylic paint with but with the richness of oil and the ability to reactivate the medium, allso like oils. I’ve used gouache before, it’s a challenging but rewarding medium.

It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Horror! Books, movies, poscasts etc, I can not get enough. One of my favorite Horror Directors of all time is of course John Carpenter. John Carpenter’s music has always been one of his best tools when it comes to setting his audience on edge. There is no finer example of this than The Prince Of Darkenss (1987). The music, the art direction, location and of course the casting all make this tale because it sure isn’t the effects that made this movie as memorable as it is. Below are two posters I did as Alternative Movie Posters I did in homage to The Prince of Darkness.
the first features Alice Cooper as a possessed homeless man.
While the second features the Dream transmission from the future. Both are pretty hard hitting. But I’ve never been able to choose which I like the best!
Tell you what, let’s do a contest. You choose the poster you like best. One random voter will recive a print of their choice. Send me your votes to jerry.winnett@gmail.com
Sounds fun? It will be the contest starts now and runs til Dec 31st, 2018.
You can also order this print and more at http://www.magcloud.com/browse/magazine/490548
This is Stevie! She is one of my first customers to order a Grindhouse Ouija Horror Box! I truly hope she enjoys it while summoning the dead in a responsible manner!
A friend of mine named Alexandria D. Hampton, contacted me about buying one of my Grindhouse Ouija Board Horror Boxes as Christmas present. At the time I had Big Red and Coco available. She chose Big Red. The following are pictures of Big Red and Megan Hope, the owner of Big Red. Megan, enjoy big Red.
I love these cigar boxes, they are well made for one.
and while they accept staining very well, there are some like Big Red that come with a beautifuly laquered shell already.
All of them come with beautifully decorated interiors which make them perfect for storing precious knick-knacks and other valuables inside.
Megan looks pretty happy!

On Sept 29th I will be selling my work at The Monsters & Merriment Art Show which wis being held at the Natchez Winery, Nashville, TN. Las year, I concentrated on selling prints, this year I’m changing up my game. I’m selling Horror Boxes. That’s right, Horror Boxes. What is a Horror Box? It’s a box that contains, terrible cold! Dread! Voodoo! Terror! All that is dark in the human soul! Or, it can hold your wallet and keys. Each Horror Box started out as a cigar box, until one of my pieces was attached to tit’s top. Why Horror Boxes? Sim ple, I want to add a bit of funtionality to my work. Why just hang a piece of art on a wall? Sure, these boxes can be mounted onto a wall, but why not put a Horror Box on your desk? Or on a coffee table? A horror Box would look great on a shelf by itself or as an addition to your knick knacks cabinet. Personally, I have one that I put my keys, wallet, ear buds and change into each night. Here is a sample of what I have to offer so far. If you’d like to purchase a Horror Box you may do so at the Monsters and Merriment Art Show, or direct mail me at jwinnett@gmail.com

Discalimer: Yes, I can reproduce each of these, but the finished piece will likely be come on a different box than what you see. I am at the mercy of available boxes when it comes to size and color.
The evolution of the Two of Wands from my upcoming Tarot deck.
Like most of my work I start with a pencil sketch. I’d taken inspiartion of this piece from photos of several different ceremonial skulls I’d come across.
Next up, stage 1.
Adding in that background.
Setting the mood.
Some artists listen to music when they work. For me it’s either audio books or a podcast.
Speaking of podcasts, I highly suggest the NoSleep Horror podcast! I love it and I’ve listened to quite a few episodes while painting my Tarot cards. Here is the address for Nosleep in case you want to give them a listen to https://www.thenosleeppodcast.com

I think that after July 16th we don’t really need to ask if Trump colluded with Russia. Honestly, I think this piece sums it all up.
