Life via the Camera Roll

Hey there beautiful souls! Thought I’d give a quick update for those who have asked.

Been feeling more in touch with my element lately - the creative and darker sides of myself. Writing and making art. Reading a little bit of everything. Basically when I get a wild hair to follow a creative impulse I’ve taken it. More impulses have manifested themselves than ever, and I take that as a sign of many good things. I’ve been spending time with family a lot, especially with my cousin’s wedding coming up (the photo in the middle is me doing the bride’s makeup for her shower!)

A few things that have been inspiring me lately:

Nirvana, Kurt Cobain (this has been a long-term inspiration)Frances Bean Cobain and more specifically her artwork as Fiddle Tim and her recent visual art (another long-term inspiration, but the latter is a bit newer)The moon and its esoteric interpretations, and how various of my favorite authors have written about it. The latter aspect has been a fun independent study for me lately.Observing the way my dog connects with nature.Vintage band t-shirts and black lace.Fringe grunge music.

Also on my mind:

My first grad school class starts next week! The nerd inside me awakens.Alfalfa just turned four months old. It all happens so fast. Seeing him grow has been so rewarding in ways I couldn’t even fathom before. He’s currently losing his baby teeth and getting his big boy chompers in fast.This weekend I’m shopping for my 25k follower giveaway! Get pumped.

I also wanted to say thanks to everyone who has read my book and given me feedback so far! I don’t think it’ll ever get old, hearing when one of you found it in Barnes & Noble and bought it, or hearing that it gave you weird dreams, or hearing what stood out for you.

I’m still up for signing your copies! Just mail your copy with your name, address and return postage to my PO box and I’ll get it back to you as quickly as I can:
