I’m glad I don’t smoke anymore, but this ad for Murad cigarettes is quite tempting, eh? ✸ Exciting news! The latest issue of Coilhouse is out now: Coilhouse 05: Let All The Children Boogie is the juiciest, most glam-tastic issue yet, and I am proud to have a piece on The Last Days of Gadjo [...]
It’s been a strange and heavy time for me lately, fraught with unforeseen changes, and deep transformation. In times like these, I tend to retreat inward, and am prone to hermiting and becoming protective of my silence, my space to think and ponder whatever may be next. Hanging around in my chrysalis, swaddled in silk-net [...]
I haven’t written about our garden in a little while, possibly because I’ve been too busy enjoying working in it, and getting my hands dirty to remember to photograph all the transformations. Poppytime has passed now, and it’s a pity! I had never been able to get them going properly until I figured out to [...]
(Paintings by Myrtle Von Damitz III , a New Orleans artist and amazing lady. Her work is prophetic, and speaks to me about what the elemental spirits might be whispering about what we are doing.) Tonight, my grandfather, my sweetheart and I went to eat oysters. We wanted to taste the last fruits of the [...]
Hooray, it’s Magic Windows time! It’s been the most gorgeous, luscious spring here – the last few days have been stormy and sullen (in a really enticing way!) Normally, I’m not a fan of gray and gloomy weather, but the rain has made it okay for me to stay in and write during the day [...]

♥ I can’t get over these pearblossoms. Giant fluffy snowball trees exploding all over town. I wish they had a nicer scent – our smells kind of awful, but aren’t they heart-stoppingly lovely? I hope we’ll have pears this year, the last few seasons it’s been the birds or passersby on the street who’ve nabbed [...]

Here we go, darlings – on the precipice of a new year, and just nearly ready to dry our sticky wings on the other side of the future! 2010, for real? I mean, doesn’t it seem slightly preposterous, as if we ought to be living in some science fiction reality? Where’s my flying car? I [...]

Creepy cute lion babies, you hypnotize me. I cannot look away. You have me under your power. I will now paint everything I own gold! We had this giant preserved Alligator Gar specimen in the window at Uncommon Objects for a little while, before it was snapped up. Wish I’d gotten a better picture of [...]
One of the many things I appreciate about Texas weather is the constant mercurial shifting between extremes. Honestly! I am, in so many ways, a creature of habit. I can easily get bogged down in work and routines, so perhaps that has something to do with my insatiable craving for variety. I require a steady [...]
