In 2011 I created one of the first designs I ever had printed on a shirt myself, “I Like It Spooky”.
Recently somebody sent yet another screenshot of an ad featuring that design, from yet another company pirating my work. So I figured “Hell with’em – I’ll make a better one”. This is the 2nd version of this design, now available in ALL of my web stores:
Many years ago I did a SPOOKY 4 LIFE t-shirt design that just never quite printed the way I envisioned it. Years later, I updated that design, only to watch it get endlessly pirated thanks in part to its very simple, 2-color artwork.
Recently somebody sent yet another screenshot of an ad featuring that second version of the design, from yet another company pirating my work. So I figured “Hell with’em – I’ll make a better one”. This is the 3rd version of this design, now available in ALL of my web stores:
This Halloween season I’ll be updating a couple of my other older designs.
Also, this design features the 31st Sinister Font “Grim Creeper” to be released closer to Halloween!
SPOOKY 4 LIFE YA’LL!
In October of 2021, Retro Supply Co. (maker of vintage-inspired digital brushes, textures, etc.) sponsored the #FrightFall drawing challenge. Chad Savage took the opportunity to create images heavily inspired by classic/vintage Halloween art and decorations, but with his own twists (particularly with regard to color).
These die cut decorations come directly from those drawings, in the “spirit” of classic Halloween decorations of yesteryear.
Decorations are 10″ and printed on sturdy paper stock. Only 25 sets made.

The Halloween Shirt Company recently commissioned me to create a t-shirt image inspired by Halloween window displays from drug stores in the mid-20th century. I love how it turned out, and they have graciously agreed to let me sell signed & numbered art prints of the image – get “The Hallowindow” now at ShopSinister.com in 8″ x 10″ or 11″ x 14″ sizes!
Keep an eye on https://www.halloweenshirtcompany.com for the release of the t-shirt!
