OTHER PROJECTS Currently I record and perform regularly with STONE BREATH, a wyrdfolk band, acoustic, slightly psychedelic, esoteric and just a bit on the dark side...and THE SPECTRAL LIGHT AND MOONSHINE FIREFLY SNAKEOIL JAMBOREE, which are the same musicians doing a different kind of music....Appalachian and other traditional folk music with a dark twist. Also, BREATHE STONE, our electric project. For more information about them visit DARK HOLLER records. The most recent Stone Breath album is also available through Middle Pillar and many other online catalogs and at good record stores everywhere. Also coming out sometime, hopefully, are my solo album, OCTOPUS ON A MOONLESS EARTH, and various other projects we are always working on. I previously recorded with Belladonna Bouquet, which was an all-female duo or trio at various times. The cd-r "The Scarlet Ceremonies" is still available from www.orangeentropy.com. |
STUFF I LIKE If you're looking to purchase a painting but, like me, you are strapped for cash there are a few things I might occasionally be willing to trade for... * Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab oils. Ask for my wish list! This is where all my money goes anyway! :) I cannot say enough good things about their amazing oil blends. * Antique postcards/photos -- Halloween, fantasy/fairy, unusual Art Nouveau or Victorian images, vegetable/fruit people trade cards. Also, real-photo postcards, photographs and cabinet cards -- French nudes, unusual subjects like circus sideshows, costumes, hand-tinted ... pre-1920. * Books. My main interests are 1800s and early 1900s, particularly in the areas of: Decadent literature, supernatural horror/occult novels, early fantasy and pre-1930's science fiction, hollow earth, lost race and utopian novels...in English or French. No specific want list, but to see a GREAT site for this type of thing, check out www.violetbooks.com! * Clothing. If you make clothing or collect vintage stuff, I love everything from psychedelic hippie gowns to corsets and gothic lolita styles. Sewing is my other main hobby but I would gladly trade art for a handmade or unusual garment or two. |
Ahhh, that's the stuff. Vintage Halloween cards. |
A little history... I began painting when I was about 12, in 1986, and I was out sick for a long time from school. I started painting dragons and fairies because, well, that was what I was into. I began entering paintings into the local arts and crafts show in my town when I was 13, and regularly sold dragons, witches and mythical creatures in area art shows throughout my teen years. I hope to put up a gallery of early paintings soon. In college I got more into painting imaginary landscapes ... otherworldly scenes, and abstract, psychedelic and surreal paintings in both acrylic and oil. I took a couple of art classes at my college, Drew University, but I am mainly self-taught. I majored in English literature and philosophy and graduated in 1995. I had pretty much abandoned painting after college, figuring that I would never be able to paint serious, academic subjects...or realistic portraits or landscapes...and that no one could possibly want my silly fantasy paintings. Ebay proved me wrong! Thanks to the Internet I discovered that plenty of people share my aesthetic and enjoy colorful, imaginative fantasy art and Halloween imagery. Now I paint at least several hours every day. I spend the rest of my free time reading 19th century/early 20th century fiction, decadent era literature, early supernatural horror and fantasy, and various other weird fiction. |
