I recently got the chance to create some new artwork for Haunted Mountain, and this project was right up my alley.

Every creepy character, twisted detail, and weird little idea was hand drawn digitally from scratch. No stock illustrations. No pre-made characters.

Just me, a blank canvas, and a lot of hours drawing.
That's something I want South of Columbus Creative to be known for. There's a real person behind the work.

When you hire South of Columbus, you're hiring me and I genuinely love getting my hands on projects like this.

Especially when I get to make things a little weird.

Thanks to Haunted Mountain for trusting me with it.

Something wicked is coming…

This might just be our favorite time of year.

The weather starts cooling down. The nights get a little longer. The horror movies come back into rotation. And around here, that means it’s almost time for CHILLERCOTHE.

We’ve been back in the crypt working on this year’s collection, and we’re getting VERY close to letting these monsters loose.

New artwork. New ghouls. New creepy creations. Same love for Chillicothe and all things spooky.

We seriously love making this collection every year, and we think this one might be our favorite yet.

CHILLERCOTHE 2026 — COMING SOON.

Stay spooky, Chillicothe.

AI can generate a flyer.
AI can write a caption.
AI can even make something look pretty polished.

But there’s a difference between generating content and actually communicating with people.

More and more, we’re seeing marketing that feels like robots talking to robots; perfectly formatted, filled with the right buzzwords…and completely forgettable.

When you hire South of Columbus Creative Co., you’re hiring me, Jarrod DePugh.

A real human being designing for other real human beings.

I think about who’s going to see your content. What will make them stop scrolling. What your customers actually care about. What makes your business different. And how we can make something that feels like you instead of something generated from the same prompt a thousand other businesses are using.

Do I think AI is a useful tool? Absolutely.

But a tool isn’t a creative director.

Your business has a personality. Your community has a personality. Your customers are human.

Your marketing should feel human, too.

Human-made creative for human beings.
