There’s a reason why I’m posting this sketch. Mind you, it’s not one of my best. Then again as of this posting, I’m sick at home with serious flu. A few days, a local DJ from the Goth/Post Punk scene passed away. The news has come to a shock among many. He had been battling…
Where are my manners? Last week was the birthday of Susan Janet Ballon, best known to the world as Siouxsie Sioux. She turned 61 on May 27th. Siouxsie and The Banshees was my favorite band during my high school years. Still one of my all time choices actually. Over the years I’ve expanded my music…
Last fall I brought my first Wacom drawing tablet. Now you think I would be creating illustrations with it. Instead, I’m continuing to use the old fashioned method. Sketching by hand. Case in point. Check out my latest sketch. Then here’s the same piece after a treatment of watercolor. The scan of the colored version…
Last night I went to another concert. In the past few months I’ve been on a roll, going to live shows for Television, Front 242 and Gary Numan. Last minute a friend had an extra ticket to the sold out event at Brooklyn Bazaar to see Clan of Xymox. Here’s the strange part. I had…
Back in 2014, I decided to start up a little side project, or a side blog as you will, on 1980s Goth subculture. https://darkentriesblog.wordpress.com Then in 2015, life got in the way, and this little blog was soon forgotten. Oops. So this morning I decided to do a quick entry: https://darkentriesblog.wordpress.com/2016/02/10/siouxsie-flyer-for-the-world-1986/ Today looks like a…
Here’s a commission done recently. A Steampunk Cthulhu commission. Mediums: ink, ink wash, brush, watercolor on illustration board. After this month, I’m taking on new commissions. Email me for prices and details if interested. Witchipoo@witchesbrewpress.net. If there’s enough demand, I might make prints from this piece, to be on Etsy of course.
Last week’s social butterfly quest ended with a night at Dorian Gray. Usually I’m not that much of a clubber, but the way NYC has become so sterile as of late, perhaps it was good to take what I could get. First on Friday, I attended the Kunst party in Williamsburg, on Saturday it was…
Usually I don’t like to go back into the past. The only thing I tend to get nostalgic for is music. Usually people think I’m much younger. Once someone talks to me about music, bands I’m into and concerts I’ve seen, thus my true age is revealed. Music is one of the few things that…
Perhaps I might be crazy, beating a dead horse when it comes to the Goth subculture. Last week I had a conversation with a friend about the NYC Goth scene, Goth history in general, and so on. Then it dawned on me. Since I was a teenage Goth during 1980’s NYC – why not do…
Looks like the weekend of April 6 and 7 2013 will be a busy one. Already posted about one of these events I’m about to mention, but it bears mentioning again. There’s also another wonderful event put on by two long time promoters in the NYC Goth scene. On both April 6th and 7th during…
