I’ve been craving remote nature. Lately, all I want to do is read, paint, and be far from civilized society, out amidst trees and rocks and open sky. Driving through the Italian, and then French, countryside last month drove this notion further out to the top layers of my brain box, and I’m not sure whether it’s a new wave of misanthropy or a side effect of summertime. Maybe it’s because I’ve spent my entire life in big cities [Moscow, …

These were taken during my first full [and I do mean full] day in Rome, and are but a taste of many, many more, which are coming to ChinaShop soon.

I am returned from a flurry of cathedrals, cobblestones, ancient history and art. Evidence bombardment begins. Heathrow A disturbing iPod dock Tea + appetizers + Light Asylum shirt at Gordon Ramsey’s Plane Food restaurant Steak Carpaccio Foie Gras Epic gift from Mom – the Alexander McQueen bee skull ring Mom, being awesome and enjoying the menu Sleepy after the flight, on the way to drop bags off at our hotel Rome, being beautiful at night The best gelato of my …
Through some monstrous force of will [and at the expense of things that would have probably made me money] I managed to put another 4 hours into this painting. I would say it’s almost at the halfway point., with no more than 20 more hours to go. A part of me hates showing work in progress, but another part loves the process too much not to share, so – here she it, Cyprepedium Lingua. Oil on wood, the first in …
Good morning! My iPhone art cases launched last night, around 10pm PST. Right now, if you go to izozzi.com you will see this: Which will take you to my storefront, where you’ll have the option to purchase cases for an iPod Touch or an AT&T iPhone. UPDATE: This case will fit the Verizon iPhone, but the mute switch will not sit in the center of the case reveal. For those who can’t wait and don’t mind this, the ATT case …
Writing from the heart of the storm, where the dust is swirlin’ and is shows no sign of settling. At least I have new wood-framed glasses from Spex Club, which I dig for light eyebrows days. IPHONE CASES My iPhone cases are coming. I can’t show them to you yet, but these are the featured designs, though they won’t be released at once. TRAVEL Still catching up on freelance while attempting to plan my trip to Europe. It’s a quick …
My electrical ghost totem writes these handy summary updates every so often, which is where I got the idea. Also, I was just asked to write a bio for a thing, so, yes. I like this photo because my arm looks weird I’m Zoetica Ebb – artist, photographer, writer, magazine editor, style technician and cosmonomad. I believe in making life extraordinary and beautiful through all means necessary. I can be hired to write, photograph or draw – simultaneously, if the …
I’m in the process of releasing several exciting new merch items into the world, dyeing my hair, planning my trip to Italy and France next week [oh god], and scrambling to catch up on a month worth of work. Still, I’m intent on updating more. First up, a few outtakes from our trip to WonderCon, in San Francisco. I have a couple of related galleries coming to Chinashop sometime next week, as well. Somewhere between LA and SF, nestled in …
And now, to celebrating the finer things in life. Another favorable aspect of my Denver journey: hangin’ with these love-beasts. Introducing Filya, the eternal Labrador puppy intent on showering the world with adoration and saliva, and Kuzya, the deceptively lithe three-legged cat who insisted on sleeping directly on top of me the entirety of my stay. FEEL IT.
I came back from Denver on Tuesday evening, but it’s taken this long to begin my return to life as I know it. Actually, there is no coming back completely. Two-pages of obituaries for my dad in Vestnik Herald newspaper It’s not about high drama or some pseudo-elevation-via-tragedy, however, facts are facts: I’m different. Though I have no intention of sharing overgenerous amounts of personal details or ineffable epiphanies, I do think that saying something about my father’s death is …
3.14. Pi day. – Still sick, I’m intent on spending the day editing photos and watching movies, eager to recover. – A psoriasis commercial: “Psoriasis is a sign of an overactive immune system” – I think of my father – he’s had this flaky skin disorder, once a cause of adolescent embarrassment during introductions to my friends, as far back as I can remember. I’m relieved that my old man’s got a powerful defense mechanism, even if we haven’t spoken …
This late edition of Biorequiem Beauty Week is brought to you by a busy day and a lazy afternoon. Apologies for the delay, but life waits for no one! However, I’m happy to finally share my experience with Belle Face Salt Scrub. With correct [read: gentle, minimal] use, scrubs can be very amazing for getting rid of dead skin cells and cleaning pores. Tons are out there, and lots of peeps make their own, but, until Belle Face, I hadn’t …
