Words, Books, Art, Movies, and Weirdness
I had a thought recently that HEY, it'd be pretty fun to have some of my weirdo images on shirts and whatnot. Lucky for me the worm of consumerism has turned and like self publishing, there are sites that allow you to upload designs and they do the heavy lifting and you make a couple… Continue reading Merch, You Say?
So, what did we learn As 2020 began many of us turned to the 1920’s for inspiration for costumes and motifs to bring in a new year. Hey, new year, new you! We made our resolutions. We made our plans.

It seems the bitterest of ironies that things could be so bleak and stressful as spring is starting to return. With the sunshine and warm air drawing us out and tempting us to go for a drive, to go out with friends, and to remind ourselves that there’s life outside of our homes. That’s… Continue reading Darkest Days
We are in historic times. We hear that a lot, but truly, it has never been more true than now. We are in historic times. We live during a time where we have watched social, political, and ecological changes on massive scales and we are part of all of it. For good or ill, our… Continue reading The Great Change
As a diehard Peter Jackson fan my mind blew when I learned he was going to be adapting the epic fantasy series. I had followed Jackson’s career since I first saw the VHS box for his firs film BAD TASTE. There was something fun and outrageous about his style that I adored and in seeing… Continue reading Once Upon A Hobbit
