Introducing Gothic Poet & Illustrator The Kreep

Brazillia R. Kreep

I was born Brazillia R. Kreep in Lizzards Point, Pa., October 31, 1756.

The city was named after my great, great grandfather Brazillia L. Kreep. The "L" for Lizzard, passed down through several generations. I am an author of dark ethereal poetry n’prose. Presently, I write Gothic poetry as well as many little illustrated books such as Kreeplets, Kreepy Krumbs, Kreep Sakes, and the novel Parenthia Ghoste.

Please visit my hauntings here or where'er my links will take you.

On my other blog, The Kreep, I've been chronicling my poetry and illustrations for a new book of poems entitled Kreeplets.

Reprinted from the blog:

I believe, thanks to Parthenia's patience, I've manifested her at last. As a ghost, Parthenia has a very fine history and I do believe she is best served in the visual treatment presently pursued. It should be interesting to see where this artistic journey leads.

Post Script: I do miss the canvas and my brushes very much.


Parthenia Goste is a high-spirited poltergeist that haunts The Kreep

Coraline Animated Feature Film Honors Kreep Creator R. O'DONNELL

Not too long ago, Gothic poet and illustrator The Kreep (created by R. O’Donnell) received an entirely handmade box of treasures collected specifically for him by the CORALINE team at Laika films. Inside the box, numbered 46/50, are highly decorated secret compartments that contain relics from the film including a bat/dog model, a bat body mold, authentic skeleton key with secret password, and a wing skeleton prototype #3. An old envelop with a wax seal with inlaid black button (as used for the eyes of the witch) and a hand-typed note explained the curious gift:

DEAR R.,

INSIDE THIS OLD BOX IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND COLLECTION WE’VE AMASSED AND CATALOGUED WITH YOU AND YOU ALONE IN MIND…THE PLAIN TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, WE ARE PRETTY OBSESSED WITH DARK STORIES. LIKE YOU. WE ADMIRE YOUR DEDICATION TO THE KREEP. PLEASE KEEP UP THE SUPER WORK. WE’LL BE READING.

SINCERELY,

THE CORALINE TEAM

351 of the world’s oddest and most talented animators, artisans, and puppet fabricators have hand-made CORALINE. Led by Henry Selick, the director of THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS and JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH, this team has created the first stop-motion feature shot entirely in 3D. Based on the beloved best-selling children’s classic by Neil Gaiman, CORALINE is a fairy-tale nightmare steeped in classic storytelling, craftsmanship, and the old-fashioned art of moviemaking magic.

CORALINE was nominated for an Academy Award for best Animated Feature.

Kreeplets by The Kreep

Continuing my lessons in virtual art for Kreeplets, I painted n' penned a poem about surly twins. Here's a taste of art and verse.

The Kreep

DOUBLE TROUBLE

Double Trouble, twins despair
How they loved the cold night air
T’tinker in a misty yard
T’set ablaze their calling card

Double Trouble, twins beware
How they loved a fine nightmare
T’wake an creep around the block
Hide in the shadows whilst they gawk



Double trouble, twins macabre : Ranulf n' Maurice Vitkus

KREEPLETS WORDS

Rated Chicago television show, is Gothic Poet and illustrator Brazillia R. Kreep a.k.a. The Kreep.

Dear creepy comrades,

Parthenia Goste died in 1862, the very year that the Battle Hymn of the Republic was published, a smallpox epidemic broke-out in California, and the Internal Revenue Service opened its doors. She was from a family of means, her father having amassed a small fortune in the dry goods business, and was laid t’rest in Chasings Cemetery overlooking Lizzards Point. She was 21 years old and was buried with her favorite porcelain doll, christened Paje (Parthenia's nickname in real life). It was an eerie accessory in that it was fashioned by local artist Gabriel Whent t'mirror her exactly.

Illustration and poem presented.
