If you’ve followed my work for a while, you already know I don’t fit neatly into one creative box. I write children’s books and horror comedy. I design clean nonfiction book covers and create unsettling horror collages. I help authors polish manuscripts—and then I turn around and make art with creepy dolls, ravens, and blood splatter.
Because of that, I recently launched two separate Pinterest accounts, each representing a very different creative persona. This wasn’t about being fancy or extra—it was about clarity, focus, and giving people a better experience when they explore my work.
Here’s what you’ll find in each space.
Wendy Spurlin Art
Creative, instructional, and exploratory
This Pinterest account is tied to my professional identity as Wendy Spurlin: artist, designer, editor, publisher, and creative coach at ArmLin House Productions.
On this account, you’ll see:
- Original artwork and design projects
- College assignments and learning-based experiments
- Abstract art, collage, illustration, and pattern work
- Book covers (especially nonfiction and instructional design)
- Visual problem-solving and concept-driven art
- Inspiration boards used for learning, study, and refinement
This account leans toward process, structure, and growth. It shows how ideas come together, how skills are developed, and how creative disciplines overlap. If you’re an author, designer, or creative professional, this is the account that reflects how I think, build, and teach.
Winnie Jean Howard
Dark, surreal, and unapologetically weird
This Pinterest account represents Winnie Jean Howard, my darker creative persona—the one that thrives on horror, satire, surrealism, and things that are slightly (or very) uncomfortable.
On this account, you’ll find:
- Horror collages and digital art
- Creepy dolls, monsters, ravens, and creatures
- Neon horror, vintage horror aesthetics, and dark surrealism
- Horror art inspiration from other artists
- Character design and odd portraits
- Satirical, unsettling, and macabre visual storytelling
This is not a “how-to” space. It’s a mood, a playground for horror imagery, and a place where fear, humor, and absurdity coexist. It’s intentionally darker, stranger, and less restrained.
Why Separate Them?
Pinterest works best when accounts are clear, focused, and intentional. Mixing instructional design, children’s illustration, nonfiction publishing, and horror collage into one account confuses both viewers and the platform itself.
By separating these worlds:
- People know exactly what they’re walking into
- Each account can grow its own audience organically
- The algorithms have a better chance of understanding the content
- I get to create freely without diluting either identity
Most importantly, it respects the audience. Not everyone who wants help publishing a business book also wants to scroll past bloody dolls—and not every horror fan wants clean nonfiction layouts. Now they don’t have to.
What This Means for You
If you follow Wendy Spurlin Art, expect thoughtful, creative, and educational content tied to design, publishing, and artistic growth.
If you follow Winnie Jean Howard, expect dark humor, horror aesthetics, unsettling imagery, and creative chaos (the good kind).
And if you follow both, You get the full picture of how creativity, discipline, and imagination collide in my work.
