Curtainfall is a resurrection — not of a circus, but of the shadows it left behind. This series of illustrated books and sepia-toned prints captures the haunted performers of a forgotten carnival, etched in coin and bone. Clowns grin past the grave. Aerialists swing through memory. Barkers cry out into silence. Each Buffalo nickel–inspired piece reimagines the skeletal soul of the sideshow, rendered in stark engraving lines and fogbound myth. These aren’t performers from history — they’re the ones that slipped between the tent flaps of time, still dancing, still whispering.

Both the books and prints serve as relics from a world that almost existed. Every page and portrait in Curtainfall holds a hush — the hush before the music begins again. Created in the style of carved nickels and dark Americana, the series merges macabre folklore with antique showmanship. Whether hung on a wall or held in hand, these works are for those who believe some stages never go dark… and some ghosts never take their final bow.
