after a long,

long,

long bout of travel; overwhelming work; and finally illness

I HAVE RETURNED.

many pieces and thoughts to share,

but in the meantime–some BOMB ASS ARTWORK.

 

meet Justin Bartlett, illustrator extaordinaire. his work is blaphemic and dark, a large and seemingly unhappy family of snakes, skulls, human-wolf hybrids and others in a ritualistic, pagan landscape of crosses and branches. it’s that whole bad-things-happening-in-a-forest-after-dark aesthetic that i’m way into lately.

at left we smell

the changing season

bereft our shell

of common reason

the clock may halt

for just a smidge

to walk our salts

across the bridge

… literally, suck on this.

one of the uncool things about living in beirut is not having access to useless, kitschy little items like these planet-based lollipops from Vintage Confections. this is the kind of product i would buy, never give as a gift, and never use. i want them.

speaking of longing, i have found my new favorite fashion blog. so many images to inspire the lovely witchcraft of the coming cold!

“There are some people in the world who say that writing stories,
or composing music or dancing sparkly dances is easy for them.
Nothing interferes with their ability to create.
While I celebrate their creative freedom,
a little part of me just wants to punch those motherfuckers in the teeth.
This song, I sing this song for you guys and for all the rest of us.”

ANYONE WITH A DREAM

[to make art, to write, to dance, to bake, to act or play music: to create]

ABSOLUTELY MUST HEAR THIS SONG, AND PLAY IT EVERY TIME THEY ARE HAVING DOUBTS
