Sublime Déshabillé
And in her sublime déshabillé, the soft pillow of her body bathed in light while her head swam in the dunce cap’s darkness ravaged by dancing merciless fire and choking smoke.
The Trouvelot Astronomical Drawings
If Strong and Hardy is anything to me, it’s the intersection of my love for both art and science, the collision between spirituality and materialism, the surreal and the actual, the abundant still unexplained magic we live undaunted by as well as the exceptional heaps of knowledge we have acquired about ourselves and this world we inhabit.
Embrace the Meaninglessness
“Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?”
Mora
A moroi is a type of vampire or ghost in Romanian folklore—the origins of the word are unknown but may have come from the old Slavonic word, mora, meaning nightmare.
Blessings abound
Back in 2018 when I found out I was pregnant, I felt like the craziest person in the world—to bring a new soul to this insane, heartbreaking world, to have opened myself up to allowing such a thing to happen.
Môniyâw
There were some uncanny, serendipitous circumstances surrounding this piece both while I was working on it and after….things that a younger version of myself would call coincidence, a word I have since mostly parted ways with.
New embossed gold foil cards
Just over here having the time of our lives in this totally attainable American dream!
Lightning Struck a Flock of Witches
Painted in the 19th century, William Holbrook Beard’s electrifying painting depicts a strikingly dramatic moment: a bolt of lightning disrupts a coven of witches mid-flight on their broomsticks.
Thank you
We didn’t want this year to slip by without taking a minute to let you all know how incredibly grateful we are for our family, friends and supporters who have all helped to sustain us throughout this year, our first year as fully self-employed artists and business owners, which has been anything but easy.
Body of a Flower: Luna Moth
“The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity, and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world.”
Cannabis
Open to trying anything-I did, and was completely flabbergasted at the effective pain relief. I have been a card carrier across two states ever since.
La Loïe
Loïe Fuller (born Marie Louise Fuller; 1862-1928), the woman starring in this piece, was actually a pioneer of modern dance and theatrical lighting techniques.
Darkness Creeps in
There's a chill in the air. Dead leaves are blanketing the ground. Feels like the day us over soon after lunch as the sun drifts behind the horizon and darkness creeps in.
Dreams of Battle and Death
PTSD officially became a mental health diagnosis in 1980. The history of what is now known as PTSD often references combat history since much of the initial research on the condition was done with vets returning home from war.
Fledgling Folly
My grandmother dedicated the last decades of her life to saving the lives of so many birds that she was known as The Bird Lady to all in my hometown, Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Lady Longfingers of Sorrow
Paper skin, frozen twilight
A crown of thorns
The last goodbye you heard them say
And the ghosts of all the things you didn’t
You were raped
A heartbreaking fact: Of all ten cards in our Feather Plucking series, the rape/sexual assault card is the most sold.
Can I pick your brain?
Please don’t really eat a human brain. It could lead to a fatal neurodegenerative disease called kuru (which means “to shiver” or “trembling in fear”). Kuru creates sponge-like holes in your brain and are fatal.
Behold the Body of the Moon
And I’ll lick my wounds with the glow of the full moon and remind you that if your ship doesn’t come in, you’ll have to row out to meet it.
Dementia and Alzheimer’s
There is dementia and Alzheimer’s on both sides of my family. This has been a scary disease increasing at an alarming rate so I wouldn’t be surprised if this is your story as well.
