Flier done by Blake
Over the past few months, I’ve been reflecting on the direction of the 13 Ghost project. While painting, creating, and exploring new ideas, I came to an exciting decision: I’m making a children’s book. You might be wondering—what does 13 Ghost have to do with a kids’ book? Well, 13 Ghost is evolving. It’s becoming more than just a project; it’s transforming into art, storytelling, and something I never quite imagined it could be.
I’m still in the process of learning and bringing this vision to life, but I wanted to share a sneak peek with you. This shift explains why I haven’t been posting as much lately. Thank you for being patient as I take this next step in the journey!
In honor of Disney festival of the arts. Which one day I hope to work. I decided to paint one of my favorite characters from one of my favorite movies of all time! It’s Bagheera! 13×19 watercolor on arches. If interested in purchasing let me know. I probably won’t do prints sssoooo only the original will be available.
I had a lot of fun with this one. I used a reference picture that my amazing wife took when we were in sleepy hollow a few years ago. According to locals this is more like the bridge the Ichabod would have crossed. Either way I had fun painting it and visiting. I’m ready to go back.
Why You Should Hop On My Email List (And Maybe Get Free Stuff)
Hey friends,
Let’s be real. Social media is cool and all… until the algorithm decides you don’t need to see half the stuff you actually care about. If you’ve ever thought, “Man, I didn’t even know Brad was doing that,”—this is exactly why I’m putting together an email list.
This isn’t going to be one of those spammy, boring, send-you-an-email-every-day kind of things. Nope. This is just a way to keep my people in the loop about everything I’ve got going on—whether it’s tattoo openings, flash drops, art sales, book news, or random spooky projects from the world of 13 Ghost and The Adventures of Charleston the Ghost.
What’s In It For You?
• First dibs on tattoo openings and cancellations
• Exclusive flash before it hits social media
• Early access to art drops, merch, and prints
• Behind-the-scenes stuff from my art and my books
• Occasional freebies (Yep… maybe a printable coloring page, a recipe, or something else fun)
• Plus… secret giveaways that only email folks will know about
Why I’m Doing This
I wanted a way to connect with everyone that isn’t completely dependent on algorithms. This keeps it simple—you actually get the info you signed up for. And it’s a little more personal, like we’re pen pals (except without the waiting-for-the-mailman part).
How To Get On The List
Super easy. Just shoot me an email at 13ghosttattoo@gmail.com with the subject line “Sign Me Up”, and you’re in. Or, the next time you swing by the shop, drop your email on the signup sheet.
I promise not to overdo it. Just a little ghost mail here and there.
Thanks for supporting what I do, whether it’s tattoos, art, books, or just cheering me on. You all mean more than you know.
Talk soon,
—Brad (and probably Charleston too )
Two Book Signings Coming Up! 📚
Charleston the Ghost is hitting the road—and I’ll be signing copies of The Adventures of Charleston the Ghost at TWO Barnes & Noble locations!
📍 Denham Springs
🗓 August 30th
🕛 12–2 PM
📍 Perkins Rowe (Baton Rouge)
🗓 September 27th
🕛 12–2 PM
Come hang out, meet Charleston (in spirit at least), and grab a signed copy of the book! Whether you’re a kid, a parent, or just a fan of spooky stories with heart, I’d love to see you there.
Let’s keep imagination alive—one ghost story at a time.
Something Is Afoot?
An Adventure of Charleston Book
Charleston and Shadow are back for another ghostly good adventure! This time, the curious duo set out to uncover the truth behind one of the world’s greatest mysteries Bigfoot! Rumors swirl that the legendary creature hasn’t been seen in the Hudson Valley for over a hundred years, but that won’t stop Charleston and Shadow. With their trademark mix of curiosity, courage, and a little chaos, they’re determined to prove that something is afoot in the woods!
I finally did it… I launched a YouTube channel!
There isn’t much on there yet, but I’m pushing myself to get more comfortable being on camera. I’m hoping to share drawing videos soon, behind-the-scenes peeks, and of course some updates on Charleston the Ghost and his adventures.
If you want to follow along as I figure this whole YouTube thing out, I’d love the support!
Thanks for always cheering me on. More magic coming soon.
13th Annual Safe Voyage Christmas Toy Drive
The holidays are here, and so is one of our favorite traditions. For every new toy you bring to our toy drive, you’ll receive an entry into our raffle — prizes include three different gift certificates, a Safe Voyage shirt, and a limited-edition print.
We know there’s a lot of uncertainty in the world right now… but this is our chance, together, to make things a little brighter. Even a small donation makes a huge impact for a kid who needs it.
Drop in, say hi, bring a toy, and help us spread some real holiday magic.
December 13th — 12 to 7 PM at Safe Voyage Tattoo
We can’t wait to see you.
I Started a YouTube Channel!
http://youtube.com/@13ghostproject
Yep… I finally did it.
I’ve officially launched a YouTube channel where I’ll be sharing drawing videos, art process clips, behind-the-scenes looks at Charleston the Ghost, and whatever creative chaos I stumble into next.
There’s not much on there yet, but I’m working on getting comfortable in front of the camera — and having a lot of fun with it. If you’d like to follow along as I grow this little corner of the internet, I’d love to have you there.
Grab a cup of coffee, stop by, and stay awhile.
