This is all kinds of great: a drawing by Eisner-winning artist Cameron Stewart, who was kind enough to send me the hi res [on advice of A at NYCC]. It’s based on this photo of me by Allan Amato from a couple of years back. Love! You can see more of Cameron’s stuff here: http://cameronstewart.blogspot.com/
I know it’s tumbleweed city around here right now, but, as always, this lull shall pass. I’m busy with Coilhouse operations, shooting a lot for SG, as well as taking care of our home and my ever-fickle health. I hope to appease you with an art poll, a collage of recent webcam pics and video of a lovely girl modeling one of my Wiloh tees for their catalog. First, the poll. my last print offer went very well, so I …
Mein droogs! Coilhouse Issue 06 hustle, among other hustles, is upon us, as you may have guessed by the radio silence. Mer, Nadya and I are working around the clock on the magazine and some awesome new Coil-merch, too, which we’ll be revealing very soon. Meanwhile, I thought I’d interrupt this interruption to quickly let you know about some hawtt T-shirt action. Molly Crabapple’s second round of designs for Dirtee Hollywood is coming soon, and includes a shirt with a …
Not really, but I had an ever-so-slightly debaucherous weekend, which launched me into an especially busy week, which is why this post is so late. But I haven’t forgotten! To be honest, I was surprised so few peeps shared goin’ out sans maquillage photos. Did some of you falter or just forgot? It’s OK, I can certainly understand. Me, I reveled in the “It’s No Make-up Week!” excuse and loved taking fifteen minutes to get ready to go out, for …
Today, let us take a break from writing and indulge in a visual feast. In honor of No Make-up Week, I was going to dedicate this post to different types of gorgeous make up artistry out there, but instead I’m giving it all it to Eric Lafforgue. Eric is living one of my dream lives as a full-time photo journalist and his work has been making me swoon ever since I joined Flickr a few years back. In his travels, …
I don’t have as much time for link-sharing as I would like, but here is a small selection of mostly unrelated things I’ve looked at over the past few days. Satoshi Kon, the brilliant creator of Paranoia Agent and Milennium Actress, died two weeks ago. He left behind a rambling, but interesting letter, shedding some light on his last days. The letter’s been translated from Japanese and is online, for now. All sorts of stuff is going on over at …
Amethyst house’s finally coming together! I know, because we’re actually hanging art. Just now, between packaging prints and roasting more beets [I’m unstoppable], I finally mounted Matt Levin‘s Abject Horror [nice birthday gift, yes?]above the door leading to the office/workroom. He both warns of what lies beyond and protects against eeeevil. I think he may still have a couple left, so contact him if you want one.
Photo by A Fact: I love getting Thank You notes. The Turquoise Tart tip-toed over my threshold just a day or so past, looking very demure in her mailing envelope. Once freed though, she was revealed to be a sparkling creature still shimmering from her seraglio (or so it seemed), & i swear she winked. Just once. It’s a lovely print, thank you so much. Fact: I almost never have time to write them, so here is a a big, …
A break from our regular programming, folks, as this is a bit of an emergency. If you’re in or new Los Angeles, please listen up and take a moment to think if you know anyone who could help. This is Robbie. Robbie was adopted by our landlord a couple of months ago, before he realized that the pup is too big to play with his 5-year old kid, and vice versa. Now, Robbie needs a new home, by Friday. He’s …
This is a crosspost. I repeat, this is a crosspost from Coilhouse, as time is both short and slippery. Just a quick last-minute reminder for our fellow Comic-KHAAANNNgoers: Nadya, Zoetica and Meredith will be selling and signing copies of Coilhouse 05 from 11am to noon today (Saturday, July 24th) at the Weta booth (#2615). We’ll also bring along copies of 1-4 for folks to peruse, but not to buy, sorry! (Sincerely, we don’t mean to be teases– we figure folks …
Next Saturday July 10, A and I are paying tribute to one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, Mikhail Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita. Along with our very own Begemot the demon-cat [portrayed by Nik Sinn], we’ll be posing at the original branch of Doctor Sketchy’s in New York City, hosted by its notorious madam, Molly Crabapple herself. Begemot and Azazello by Coilhouse 05 featured artist, Chris Conn Askew In parallel but separate ways, The Master and Margarita …
Apologies for this fly-by posting, but it’s the way it’s gotta be for now. Tomorrow morning Clint, Paris and I are going to pile into a car and set out for Salt Lake City. As I mentioned in an earlier post, we’re performing at the Final installment of the annual Dark Arts Festival on Friday evening. What kind of performance, you might ask? Suffice to say it’s not burlesque and it’s not poetry and it’s not live painting. Good thing …
It’s almost time to emerge from move-induced seclusion, and the official occasion shall be this Saturday, June 5. See, I’m displaying my Pleiads paintings, along with a few smaller pieces, at an appropriately saucy event – The Poetry Brothel. Please join me and featured performer Clint Catalyst at what’s sure to be an unforgettable night of delights and debauchery. This installment’s theme is “The Best Little Whorehouse in Los Angeles”, time to bust out those tassels and spurs! The Poetry …
You might have seen the striking imagery from the This is Not an Invitation to Rape Me campaign before. This image in particular has stayed with me ever since I first saw it some years back. The campaign, started in early ’90s, struck out against the “she asked for it” mentality. With a series of television commercials and stark black and white images with the campaign slogan on them, This Is Not An Invitation To Rape Me dispelled misconceptions of …
