Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day, Eye Patch Edition

- by in Art, Books, Headline

So, while I love to travel and I abhor conventional behavior for conformity’s sake, I never really went through a pirate phase. Just never really liked the idea of people who take stuff that doesn’t belong to them, as a way of life. Pirates basically have stealing, not as something they did once or even […]

Jumbo BLT T-Shirt Designs

- by in Headline, Trappings

Yay! We’ve got a whole bunch of potential T-shirt designs ready to go. BLT‘s wonderful kind backers will be the ones to decide which ones we actually produce. The plan is to make a minimum of 3 of these designs, although I kind of want them all, now that I am looking at them. Old […]

Introducing BLT Kickstarter

- by in Books, Headline, Trappings

This weekend saw the launch of my Kickstarter project BLT Punk Humor Book 25 Year Black Leather Times Zine Omnibus. BLT was the first zine I did as an . . . well, I hesitate to say it, but as an adult. It is one of the creative projects I am the proudest of working […]

Blue Blood exhibited at Convergence this past weekend. Convergence is a convention of net goths which has been going on since gothic folks first found usenet.

Alexandria Still Burns: Librarians & the Fight for Knowledge

- by in Books, Headline

I like Kyle Cassidy‘s work because he has a good eye for subculture. There is a journalistic aspect to his work, combined with an aesthetically pleasing approach. Kyle Cassidy delves into the social anthropology of cultural aspects which go unexplored by most. I think I first came across him on LiveJournal. (Raise your hand if […]

Like Comic-Con . . . Only Gayer

- by in Art, Happenings, Headline, Images, Sex

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the last day of Bent-Con. The slogan I heard bandied about was “Like Comic-Con . . . Only Gayer”, although, on the Bent-Con site, it says, “A Comic Convention . . . Only Gayer”. Either way, very inspired sloganeering. I could only make it for one […]

Mortis Mortavius Shoots DragonCon 2011

- by in Happenings, Headline

I was very active in East Coast fandom from the time I was very underage (but old enough to get into mischief), until I moved to California. It was a lot of fun. I tended to spell shirt L-I-N-G-E-R-I-E and regularly get in trouble with con security over my (lack of) attire and non-peacebonded weapons. […]

IMATS Makeup Trade Show

- by in Art, Headline, Trade/Business, Trappings

It is no secret that I love trade shows. Doesn’t matter whether I am actually particularly working in a specific industry, I just enjoy the sense of productivity and expertise and people trying to do whatever they do well. I like tools a lot. (Tools as in instruments to accomplish things, not guys who order […]
