The Cog is Dead
I lost track of this band for a few months. My first sighting of them piqued my interest, due to some decent page design, good photography, and a promising band description – which was pretty much all I had to go on at the time outside of a (then) dormant twitter…
The Rescue Limited Edition Giclees current count
I was asked earlier today what the status (particularly current remaining count) of the 32×22 (full sized) giclees are, and since I feel it may interest repeat visitors and new visitors alike…
Black November Sale extended, Holiday Hours info
Though the sale prices end on the 14th, I will continue taking orders and shipping through the 23rd, and will resume shipping again on January 1st. I still may be able to get later orders out in time for the holidays, but highly recommend ordering before the December 14th cutoff date.
Steamcon and Vampire Ball Aftermath, plus: Sorry if I gave you the Plague
… If it makes you feel any better… I got the flu.
Just because…
I haven’t shared anything Abney Park here in a while, and because I was recently reminded of this video’s existence:
Also – Since I am working away on commissions still, I thought I might point you to some new things Beth has added to the EttaDiem store:
“I makes the dark cutes that you can choke on [...]
Want to see Voltaire in Baltimordor?
I was looking forward to seeing Voltaire and the Skeletal Orchestra at Ascension. I did realize however, that with no other purposes for the trip, when I factored in Hotels, gas, and other expenses – I would have essentially been giving up three days and $450 to see a single show.
It would not have [...]
Just a bit of Nostalgia
So, I am working away at several paintings at once currently.
In the damp and cold of Michigan, oil paints dry really slowly, especially when one’s work space is in the basement. Michigan, for those who did not already know this, does not have a sun.
There is a glowing ball that pops up here and [...]
Intermission
I am still away – painting and such, so here is something musical and shiny:
“SHOCKHEADED PETER was the collective nightmare of the visionary direction and design team of Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch (co-founders of London’s Improbable Theatre) and the underworld’s favorite cabaret act, The Tiger Lillies, led by the bizarre and beautiful falsetto of [...]
Billy Idol’s White Wedding – Literal Version
Some Joker dubbed in their voice over Billy Idol, making up their own literal translation of what was, of course, one of my favorite childhood videos.
Of course, I am LMAO…
White Wedding: Literal Video Version – watch more funny videos

“Remains” available once again
The music of Bella Morte has been a favorite on any decent gothic playlist since before the very first Cruxshadows tour, their earliest albums being my very favorites, of course, because I am an old and crotchety bastard like that.
If I hadn’t already purchased their music long, long ago, I might have noticed that their [...]
Product Specials
Available for a week at the reduced price introductory of $25 (reg $35). The second panel, special-made for the inside of a special box/portable frame assemblage art piece I am making. It was requested that I make prints of this piece - so, I am making 20 of each on fine art rag paper, signed, numbered, and dated tiny in the margin. They are printed on a fine cotton rag paper, in archival pigment inks for an archival rating of 200+ years. The print is 8.5x11 inches including the 1 inch border. Printed area is 6.5 inches by 9. The Assemblage this comes from is a sort of dark carnival and Miskatonic feeling piece, made to feel much like all the occult ephemera of the late 1800s/early 1900s, a time when mysticism was for city-dwellers was becoming quite the fashion - though I often pull from real references when making these sorts of pieces, I do not imply that they have any actual magickal properties or serious reference value. They are more "camp" for fans of the ooky-spooky.
