Have you heard? The fourth issue of Coilhouse magazine is out and ready for love. According to everyone’s favorite Space Bastard, Warren Ellis,

COILHOUSE is, as ever, a huge slab of a cultural object, and a stone fucking bargain at $15 American plus postage.

This link leads to an extensive post about the contents of this issue, which features Grant Morrison, Alejandro Jodorowsky, cover girl Kristamas Klousch, and many, many more. You can pick up your Coilhouse 04 here.

For 04’s Inform/Inspire/Infect section dividers, I decided to go with meticulous pen and ink drawings. Snake Charmer, below, is Infect, and might be available in limited edition print form one day soon.

I have a list of other posts I intend to make that’s THIS BIG, too. Initially I was going to write one of those monsters that take half a day to peruse, but today is not the day. In the next few days you can expect news about Style Dispatch, new Chinashop galleries, a limited run of small things for sale, and a few big announcements. For now though, I’m going to dump some photos that have built up over the past few weeks, and I’m going to dump them right under this here jump.

Let us start at the beginning of what turned into the past two-and-a-half weeks. Christmas! One of the very few Christmases I’ve enjoyed, in fact. First of many? Perhaps! Our table looks like this, and that’s just the appetizers:

And this. My god. What we have here is goat cheese with cranberries, prosciutto and cheese roulon, plus smoked salmon and cheese. Ayee.

What might be my last self-portrait of 2009.

And what’s a holiday without getting wasted and spending the night at mom’s? NOTHING.

The rest of the photos are on flickr.

BONUS: New Year’s Eve photos about which I can tell you close to nothing.
