Coilhouse

Adieu, Coilhouse

This is a copy of an article that just went up on Coilhouse. It’s important for me to post it here, as well, with the new year just around the corner. To what lies ahead! It’s been a fun-filled, illuminating, topsy-turvy rocket ride, but over four incredible years since we launched Coilhouse, the time has come for me to move on. The need to focus on creating versus curating has been nagging at me for the duration of this endeavor, …

At Last! Coilhouse Issue 06: Oblique Stratosphere

Good mooorning! HUGE news today, mein peeps: Coilhouse Issue SixSixSix is finally here and available for purchase while our limited supplies last. Join the black and white and red parade as we march through an angular Constructivist/Futurist/Expressionist landscape where originality and oddity rule.  There are interviews with the ultra well-known and loved, and with the scrumptiously subterranean. There are (literally) sharp and edgy fashion editorials; there’s a never-before-published Bauhuas-era play; there are origami revelations. You’ll view tons of exclusive, made-just-for-the-magazine content contributed …

Mixed Sack of Wonders

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 …

Artists, Poets, EVERYONE – Advertise in Coilhouse!

I’m going to keep this brief and informative, as I have to run off to shoot beautiful new jewelry for LMD in, oh dear, an hour. Last night, Mer, Nadya and I amused [and probably horrified] our most excellent project manager, Sam, on the most delirious Coilhouse conference call of the past 6 months . When screeching, cackling and excessive absinthe consumption come into play, you know we’re close to the finish line. That’s right – the editorial for Issue …

Photo Flurry 053: David J Haskins

Four of the several photos I shot of David J at The Standard hotel downtown, for the interview Mer conducted this summer. The full shabang is up on Coilhouse today. An excerpt from the intro: … for now, he’s holding court at our corner table, and he’s got Zo and I doubled over in helpless fits of laughter. As our cackling reaches a crescendo, fellow patrons look up from their $20 cheeseburgers in confusion. Perhaps this pale, slim, soft spoken …

Inkdrops 010 – Coilhouse 05 Section Headers

Coilhouse 05 will hit stores in just under two weeks, but signed copies with special inserts are already 3/4 gone from our web shop. You can see a comprehensive by-article assessment of the issue here. From the post: Zoetica imagined a blithe, enchanted world of dancing sheiks and courtesans when working on this issue’s Inform/Inspire/Infect section headers. Powdered wigs and perfect maquillage complement tassels and cymbals, as these bejeweled vixens shimmy you into each section. The headers also feature the …

Style Dispatch 012 – Inform/Inspire/Infect, With Soviet Memorabilia Bonus

On Saturday, hawtt shot photographer Lou O’Bedlam and I set out for the hills [a block or two away from his place] to find the perfect fence. We were on a mission to capture a couple of new items for the Coilhouse shop. I’d just gotten the hoodie the day before, and hadn’t had a chance to try it on before these photos, but now I CAN’T STOP WEARING IT. It’s a good thing I have several pairs of these …

Photo Flurry 023 – Coilhouse Announcements & Blurbs From the Beyond

This is what my never-ending 365 project is reduced to at the moment, for the most part. That’s because I’ve been reading and drawing and, by Da Vinci’s nuts, even painting! That’s not the big news of the day, however. Today on Coilhouse, we are revealing several major developments, among them our brand new media kit, a dropped in-store price, tripled distribution, and working with Last Gasp to bring Coilhouse Magazine to more independent stores than ever before. Mhmm, we’re …
