Peter Rostovsky

A huge thanks to @carolynglasoebaileyfoundation , @casafrancese , @ojaichris @blanchesylviaojai , @mskincareco , @cameronkgainer , and @amyrosethielen , for making my show and my stay in Ojai so special, memorable, and meaningful. I feel renewed and inspired by Carolyn's enduring spirit and growing community. A holiday toast to all the people who join and support us in the often irrational but always necessary pursuit of art. As we all know, it's never a solitary journey. Pictured here, "Channel," 2025, oil on panel, 18 x 24 in. #contemporaryart #painting #drawing #comicbooks

Incredibly thankful for this thoughtful and wonderfully written review of Damnation Diaries by @n_o_a_h_fischer in @hyperallergic spring graphic novel roundup. I'm deeply honored to be included in such an amazing grouping. #graphicnovel

Humbled by and deeply grateful for this starred review of "Damnation Diaries" in @publisherswkly . It caught me a bit off guard today during a morning walk. Again, immense thanks to all who've supported this effort. A more thorough list of you is forthcoming! #horrorbooks #horror #graphicnovel #comicbooks #horrorcomedy #hell #satire

Brought a small painting home from the studio to live with for a while. Nice to see how it changes from shop floor to domicile. #contemporaryart #painting
