Ghost Fits

You can call me Mkartz or MK. Think of this as a somewhat morbid OOTD blog; inspired by the stoic concept of purposefully contemplating death in order to better appreciate life & the present moment, I draw outfits of people I observe (irl, online, in movies/tv, etc, but mainly myself) as if it's the last thing you'll be stuck wearing as a ghost, indefinitely.

Sharing the secrets of your hearth with strangers who will never be able to meet or thank you. Honoring the dead through learning their traditions of the home; emulation and exaltation. A good carrot cake.

Starting something new! I'll be making graphics for some of my favorite quotes about death and the meaning of life, featuring some of my favorite philosophers! 💖

Hello! Happy Hallow’s Eve. I’ve been working on this mini-comic, Ghost Stories, for a couple months between other stuff, and I’m happy to finally be posting it near Halloween. If you’d live in Philadelphia, you can buy a physical at Atomic City Comics or Fat Jack’s Comicrypt! 

The mini-comic is 4″ x 6″ with 13 pages. 

[[ Edit: I’ve been so touched by the comments and feedback this comic has continued to receive over the years. Thank you, everyone, so much. Print copies are now available at my local bookstore:  https://www.nextchapterbooksellers.com/ghost-stories-mini-comic They might be unavailable sometimes between printings, but I’ll be doing my best to keep them in stock. ]]

I hope you enjoy reading this short story as much as I enjoyed writing and drawing it.

this is by far my favorite safety/warning sign btw. they really went off with this one

[ri-rawr-isnt-ok]

No cuz I fucking love this sign. It’s not an actual barrier so it’s not like some sort of challenge it simply says “fuck around and you will find out”

[irlwakko]

Ohohoho I LOVE “fuck around and find out” signs, especially the really dramatic and ominous (but true) ones

(Context for the last one: it’s a WWII era sign posted around the soldiers’ washroom mirror, warning them to never discuss military plans in places where civilians could hear them and report back to the enemy, e.g. in restaurants and pubs in the country. “Loose lips sink ships”.)

I also love these two, which I would place in the category of “You already fucked around, now you’re about to find out.”

Aerated water is fucking scary. It's water that has a fuckton of gas in it, which reduces the buoyancy to the point where you will immediately start to sink if you fall in.

For my first ghost 'fit, here's me in my new favorite dress. Found this one at a thrift store for $7! I love it, definitely wouldn't be the worst thing to end up wearing forever

(also, I'm not settled on how to depict ghostification yet. That may take some more experimentation to decide on)
