Spring is so close I can smell it. So far, it smells like oil paint, ink, coffee and the Mediterranean sea. I love smelling the future. Is everyone cleaning out their closets yet? I certainly have a bountiful mountain of stuff to eBay off in a week or two. Meanwhile, in the spirit of renewal, [...]

Happy Birthday, Warren Ellis!
February 16th, 2011 · 6 Comments · Biorequiem
Today is Warren‘s Birthday, whether he likes it or not. If you haven’t already, go wish him a happy 98th! If you’re just tuning into the Internet, Warren Ellis is a writer, a wise curator of the whole wide web, and an a lovely [questionably human] being. Pretty sure I could still drink him [almost] [...]

Artists, Poets, EVERYONE – Advertise in Coilhouse!
January 13th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Biorequiem
I’m going to keep this brief and informative, as I have to run off to shoot beautiful new jewelry for LMD in, oh dear, an hour. Last night, Mer, Nadya and I amused [and probably horrified] our most excellent project manager, Sam, on the most delirious Coilhouse conference call of the past 6 months . [...]

Bloggin’ It Up on X-mas Eve
December 24th, 2010 · 10 Comments · Biorequiem
…Because I don’t celebrate Christmas. If you’ve been reading for a while, you know that this is because Christmas is a tradition I wasn’t raised with, growing up in Russia. New Year’s Eve was the Huge National Holiday, and so it remains to me. Ded Moroz flying through the stars I put a lot of [...]
Reader Feedback of the Year
December 17th, 2010 · 16 Comments · Biorequiem
WAVE air station control tower crew, 1954 I’m not in the habit of publishing letters from my readers, but in the case of this morning’s correspondence, I felt compelled, and I promise it’s not to let you know that people like my blog. Reason being the grand-scale transformation of the author – I was moved [...]

2010 Review
December 16th, 2010 · 11 Comments · Biorequiem
As we’re moving into mid-December, it’s time to take stock. 2010 has been a mad whirlwind, and that’s an understatement, but I like doing this every year, to help myself plot what’s next. So! A short list of events, which doesn’t include the lovely people I met, good friends who have become even better, stages [...]

Photo Flurry 056 – Latex, Mother, Dog
December 9th, 2010 · 7 Comments · Biorequiem, Photo Flurry
I’m staring down the gaping maw of a monstrous to-do list and my brain is completely overrun with travel plans, the Wikileaks situation, and dancing squirrels, so no words today. However, the incomparable Allan Amato sent over a bunch of images from our early autumn shoot, so, voila! Everything from my standard supervillainous self to [...]

Inkdrops 016 – All Dissociation Styles Now Available!
November 22nd, 2010 · 10 Comments · Biorequiem, Inkdrops
After a few weeks of technical tweaking and bug-ironing, all three styles of my Dissociation T-shirts are now available over at Wiloh, just in time for the holidays. It’s safe to say that I’m pretty excited. When I opened the box of my sample T-shirts, a little wave of relief washed over me – they [...]

Sketch by Cameron Stewart
October 27th, 2010 · 9 Comments · Biorequiem
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 Ales 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 [...]

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.

Wednesday is the New Monday
September 29th, 2010 · 13 Comments · Biorequiem
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 [...]

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 [...]

A Kaleidoscope of Links For You
September 9th, 2010 · 7 Comments · Biorequiem
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 [...]

Little Horror
September 8th, 2010 · 6 Comments · Biorequiem
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 [...]
Hello, Fall! Time For a Little Biorequiem Housekeeping

Photo by Ales Kot 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 [...]
