New Drop Preview: 12 Spooky Shirts for the First
New Drop Preview: 12 Spooky Shirts for the First
If you’re new here—welcome to the sketchbook-that-never-sleeps. Every week I share what’s bubbling in the cauldron at Ink Flux Designs, and today’s post is a peek at the next shirt drop landing on the 1st. I tossed a handful of thumbnails into the collage so you can catch the vibe at a glance: retro-horror posters, bold ink, neon glows, and that worn 1950s one-sheet texture I’ve been chasing all season.
Below is a guided tour of the 12-piece collection and how each design came together.
-
Something Wicked in the Air – Emerald-skinned witch cruising past a fat harvest moon; teal sky wash, butter-yellow rim light, and retro marquee lettering that pops like a 1950s one-sheet.
-
Pumpkin Inferno!! – Bulbous gourd blistered with heat waves, framed by toxic green vapors. Poster wear, pulp halftones, and a campy double exclamation title.
-
Fume Jack – A feral jack-o-lantern suspended in a spill of fluorescent green, inked with long, liquid strokes and splatter—graphic, high-contrast, and loud.
-
Bride of Frankenstein – Regal, modern-noir take on the Bride: porcelain skin, the iconic lightning streaks in her hive of hair, neon magenta accents, and a distressed lobby-card frame.
-
Frankenstein – Close chest-up portrait; slab features, surgical stitches, and crackling magenta energy veins around his hands. Olive glazes vs. coal black inks.
-
Jack—Ember Coil – Candle-hot face with lava oranges and soot-black curls of smoke; baroque flames curl into a decorative frame.
-
Jack—Crossbones – Rope-hung pumpkin over crossed vine “bones”; parchment background with brittle edges and woodcut linework.
-
Night Prowl (Black Cat) – Crescent moon throne, thorny vines forming an art-nouveau ouroboros; the cat’s eyes are little lanterns.
-
Nocturne Slash (Dracula) – Cape is a red scythe cutting across the page; heavy brush, chalky paper tears, and a bone-white moon behind him.
-
Dracula—Velvet & Ash – A more formal portrait: charcoal inks, painterly whites, and a single ruby accent; feels like a worn lobby still.
-
Creature from the Black Lagoon – Viridian to emerald scalework with chartreuse hot spots; cream title ribbon, vintage fold lines, and off-register color for pulp charm.
-
Lunar Howl (Werewolf) – Splashy cyan and ghost-white foam as the beast rips forward, moon side-lighting the muscle and fur. Big, kinetic brush—pure poster energy.
Process notes
I start loose—pen thumbnails—then move to digital inks with thick-to-thin pressure curves so the lines feel like bristles, not vectors. Color comes last: two complementary ramps plus a spicy cyan/magenta rim to fake old Technicolor. Most pieces get a dusting of paper grain, halftone freckles, and faux fold lines to land in that sweet spot between vintage and alive.

Why this drop
I’m living between campy movie poster and ink-heavy illustration—letting the linework do the talking while color behaves like stage lighting. It’s the same lifelong loop I’m on: draw, refine, share, keep moving. Halloween just gives me an excuse to turn the volume all the way up.
If something in the collage grabbed you, watch the store—product pages with close-ups unlock on the 1st. Thanks for riding along and supporting a small, ink-splattered studio.
See you at the drop. 👻🎃
