Josh yelled at me for not updating but I’m not sorry. See, I’ve been busy doing one of my favorite things which is, in fact, working on a psychotic schedule. My days start before 6 and end after midnight because I refuse to give up the night or the sun rising. Drawing, shooting, writing, compiling, editing while simultaneously taking care of things I’d been putting off for too long. Photo by Courtney Rot Also laughing. A lot. Most hours are …

I just finished a quick, fun interview for A Stroke of Pink, a social media haven that connects young women between the ages of 13 to 21 who desire a career in the fashion industry. This site is in its early stages and I think it’s going to be a supreme source of inspiration for young women. I’m completely honored to be their very first It Girl.

A couple of weeks ago [though it feels like much longer after SXSW] I shot a few quick press images for that hot band MA46. Here they be. Don’t ask me about Daniel’s hair, I had nothing to with it. Their shadow puppets will fuck you up, son. Now please, go buy the Letters and Numbers EP on iTunes.

Dearest peeps! I’m in Texas shooting and micro-blogging for Chinashop. We have a lovely inter-continental team covering all sorts of culture stuff going on around town and it’s been a fantastic week so far. I love Austin, my colleagues and the stuff I’ve been doing. I’m dead, and I do mean dead tired at the moment, which means I’ll have to go into further detail later. The website is in early stages still and our content is going up slowly, …

Why, hello there! It’s been a couple of weeks and indeed there is “updating” to do. First of all, a huge thank you for all the comments on the tattoo post. Overwhelmed by all the positive feedback and still inlove with the piece. Can’t wait until Tim and I meet again so we can finish it. In the meantime if you’re in New York you should all get inked by him. Two things are happening on Monday. 1. The first …

Hello! This is post #600 on this version of BioRequiem. I will celebrate. Also, a few things: I’ve been researching the Uyghur people in spare moments. This part of my heritage is fairly mysterious to me, as my Uyghur grandfather was an orphan and knew nothing of his tribe. Because I don’t have any serious time to dedicate, I’ve learned little, so far: 1. seems modern Uyghurs are fairly set on starting shit in China. 2. Uyghur women have exciting …

And it rained all night, while I slept. Having missed so much of it, I feel somewhat robbed by the universe. Still, the smell remains, and the morning clouds are making me happy. These are optimal working conditions of which I intend to take full advantage. Now, a mixed offering of photos for ye gods of Internet, while I wrestle with an especially unruly mug of coffee. The 365 project is downright impossible, but I’m trying. Obama-Lincoln mural at the …

Making myself presentable for a night of dancing but first! Molly Crabapple and I being fierce and dodging demon gum drops from hell. Unfortunately, the only way to fight a demon gum drop is by sticking out one’s elbows like so. This was last night at RuPaul’s Drag Race exhibit at World of Wonder gallery. So packed “even Perez couldn’t get in”, according to bewildered whispers outside. Oh, LA. Such a cruel mistress. We left and went to The Edison …

Day 7: rooftop Bullied by friends and my own ambition, I’ve decided to try the 365 project again. For those not in the know, the 365 project exists between 12,000+ people on flickr and in the collective consciousness as the thing where you take a self portrait every single day for one year. It’s an art project, it’s a try new things with camera, locations and editing project. It’s a sort of diary I can actually maintain, a dialogue with …

First and foremost: 2009. It’s here already for some of you, and tonight for me. Let’s make the next year [and the three remaining ones before the Apocalypse] the best years ever! Think of me at midnight and make a wish. I’m not sure what this will do but let’s find out. Happy New Year! Did you know that for a short while you can buy Coilhouse 1 along with Coilhouse 2? It’s true, mien peeps. I’m guest-blogging on HauteMacabre. …
