I go by the name "Dark Riddle" and I'm an artist and writer of horror and science fiction. I'm also an old-school Chicago Graffiti artist.  I spend most of my time trying to invent new and innovative tactics in art and literature, as well as critical thinking for science theories.

I still consider myself a learner in the arts and always will, as there is always more to learn.

Dark Riddle is a Chicago-based artist primarily known as a popular graffiti muralist, then turned to build a fan base in the genera of science fiction and horror.

He is known for works such as Chupacabra Visions, Knight Syndrome, The Zombie Bible Anthology, Untold Tales of BTB, and Empire of Dirt. He works with many small presses doing illustrations and writing.

During the early 1990's he created the "Hypergothics" art/writing method. In certain circles he is regarded as the 7th "Dark" from the modern branch of the Synoptic Knights Templar.

For over 25 years, he was known as an iconic agent for the infamous BTB graffiti art/activist group.

Hello, I am the owner of the group and blog Frontiers of Zoology, about Cryptozoology. At the time I started the group in 2006, you had a lot of Cryptozoology stuff on the net and I put some of it my group after sending you the message then, but it has since disappeared. I would love to have some of your stuff up on my blog. We just finished a series on Chupacabras there. Please drop me a line or visit the blog if you can.

I have since done a book called Chupacabra Visions which has even more cryptids in it. That work as well as other creature work of mine could be found here -in my "Bestiary folder". You can use the artwork as you please as long as you give me "Dark Riddle" credit for the art. Thanks for your interest.
