World domination is generally considered to be a villainous endgame

In the fourth grade, I was sent to the principal’s office for using free time to create a construction paper collage that was critical of then-president George Bush. Nobody could explain to me wh...

Coagula: ruff recording

Here's the first playthrough of a song we starting working on last month. We have been working on this one more than anything else since then and it's changed a bit, but these archival scratch trac...

a lil jigsaw puzzle of recurring nightmares before work ;)

I want to preface this one by saying it’s kind of a downer. I’m having a bit of a haunted time. A lot of incredible things have happened in the past few years. The past few days. I had some swe...

made it to the city ++ a few shirt pics

I've been having a nice day in Anchorage, staying at a friend's house, eating fruit, casually editing some of the photos I took last night before packing up the shirts. I made some tea. Did my make...

last preparations before our first gig in the "*city*"

Tomorrow morning, Psychic Spychick heads down to Anchorage to play a show with Turbo Hell and Saint Mood. It's been nice getting to focus on just the music and making new designs without having to ...

New psychic spychick design//putting in the time

I've been feeling very reflective this month. About how far I've come, how much I've learned, how at peace I am processing through my griefs at this point in my life. It's not *all* peace, but the ...

long meandering blog post about nothing in particular

I finally finished Buffy the Vampire Slayer last Monday. I watched the final episode at 6am, alone in a warehouse. It felt somehow like the correct environment for that sort of thing. I thought abo...

Black Lodge @ The Bronze Psychic Spychick Violet Cover

Gosh, so much has happened over the past month. Not least of which was a huge party at The Marlin--a Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Twin Peaks crossover costume Halloween party--on the 28th of last month...

episode iii, revenge of the rainbow

I honestly am surprised that I haven't shared this recording with you all yet-! I'm sorry it took so long. No drums here, but this is the Rainbow Connection cover that Sara and I worked out over se...

lilac *practice recording - Sept. 2023

Alright, my friends, here is the latest rough recording of Lilac. We are still figuring out the loop life proper (setting, maintaining, listening, following, triggering, etc.), but we're getting cl...

Visited by images of Gumby and Pokey trapped in a heavily redacted Louis L'Amour novel.

visions of the present nexus

It's been kind of a wild month.

In some ways, I've experienced the worst mental health of my adult life. I have never wanted to die, get off the ride & go home, so wholly as I have in the...

a check-in for Aug

There are many things moving around in my life and my mind right now. Planning for a big Halloween art party, in the planning phase for a couple of big painting projects, wrote a new song and had a...

website live

Sara and I have been working on building the bones of an online gallery and shop for our art for the past 5 weeks, and it's officially live today. Also fresh today are 11x17 posters of the tapestry...

grief & messy musings on the gong 07.02.2023

Hell, y'all. This is a particularly griefy time of year. It's a long, strange, dilated window of time between when my mom died and when I made the call. It's the guilt of being a full-time support ...

hats and patches from may 6

I made a few blacklight-embroidered hats and patches for the show earlier this month. It's been fun making band merch exclusively by hand and selling it out of a blacklit briefcase by the stage. It...

update 05-27-2023

Oy, I finally got the audio pulled from the Marlin show. I got a good take of J Brig's set, but the batteries in my field recorder died during the first song of our set. I know I have about 50 soli...

a new pedal, a break, a song by julien baker

It's been a long couple of weeks. Car broke down again, just in time for biking season, again. I worked 11 days consecutively at the farm with a gig in the middle so I guess I've been a little diss...

Psychic Spychick @ The Marlin 05.06.2023

A picture my friend Dom took of the Marlin gig this weekend. Psychic Spychick's 2nd bar gig ever. It went well. I made hats. Always a pleasure to share the stage with J Brig. I took some audio dire...

spring renewal

I was smoking a cigarette on my porch this morning watching the snowflakes fall and melt in the sun on my sleeves. It’s really spring. My projects are mostly domestic these days. I am growing pla...

03-20-2023

It is the vernal equinox today. The beginning of Spring. These transitional moments mean more to me living in the far-north than they did when I lived on an island where sunlight was an inconsisten...

myv bts pt 1 : the music video

Oooh, the party is this weekend and I want to share a little bit of the process with ya while it's still fresh. The first project we did after deciding to throw a party was a video for the Kickstar...

myv 2023 // bts first glance

The other day I was painting a tapestry in my living room and had one of those time-dilation experiences where I didn't know how I found myself in that particular moment. I've been working full-spe...

Small projects dec 2022

I just finished out a week working for the ballet on The Nutcracker. It's always a lot of work and a lot of love. I've been doing little crafts here and there this month. Thinking about my yule car...
