#Book Lovers Day

It’s Book Lovers Day and it’s late summer. Most of your bosses and co-workers have started feeling the end of summer/taking the last of long weekend vacays to the beach before kiddies are off to school. Maybe you are a freelancer like me, and suddenly you have some free-time to work on your web site, your portfolio, catch up on Netflix, and of course pick up a book! Late Summer Reading List…

Tidying and Sprucing up the blog

Hey how are you? It’s been ages since I’ve posted here — well that is changing very soon. Stay tuned as I work a bit of magic, dust off the cobwebs and update y’all on what I’ve been up to and what Cleis Design has been up to. Being a part-time designer and full time mom has been challenging, harried, messy, fun, stressful and I wouldn’t change a thing. Even on my worst day. Stay tuned for a…

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Even though, St. Patty’s Day is a completely American holiday to commemorate the death of St. Patrick. Here are some fun Irish facts connected to design and food.

1. St. Patrick’s official color is blue not green.

2. Famous hat designer Phillip Treacy, just cause he’s a badass and Irish. Slàinte.

3. The Irish built most of the canals in New Orleans. Tens of thousands of the Irish (4,000-30,000)…

On 12/12/72 Marie-HÃ©lÃ¨ne de Rothschild, member of the most powerful elite family in the world, held a Surrealist Ball at ChÃ¢teau de FerriÃ¨res, one of the familyâs gigantic mansions. While these events are usually extremely secretive, photographs of this particular Ball surfaced on the web. In short, it is a mix of an âEyes Wide Shutâ-style masked ball mixed with a Lady Gaga-style pop video. Iâm not even kidding. Indeed, behind the fun and games, these pics reveal the underlying ideology and the mind state of the occult eliteÂ â which is apparently also used in the countless MK/Illuminati theme music videos discussed on this site. The invitation is written in reverse. It required a mirror to be read. Inversion is a big deal in a pseudo-satanic mind state. The ChÃ¢teau de FerriÃ¨res was lit in red to make it appear as if it was on fire. Scenes from Roman Polanskiâs movie about Satan â9th Gateâ were filmed there. In âEyes Wide Shutâ, the occult ritual takes place in another Rothschil

2014

The new year has been here almost a week now and I’m dusting off the remnants of 2013. I’m going to be frank with this post, I have never like New Year’s Resolutions.

They make me hopeful for what I can dream to accomplish, but they fill me with anxiety…

Why Superheroes Still Can’t Have It All

Amy Sturgess has a demanding job, a dysfunctional family, and a baffling love life. She also has a bottle of Xanax permanently stashed in her pocket. Those pills come in especially handy when her pager buzzes in the middle of a meeting, instructing her to slip on a cape and turn into her alter ego, Starling. To make matters more stressful, Amy’s coworkers have no idea who she really is: While she’s off fighting crime, everyone assumes she’s just taking a really long time in the bathroom.

Sage Stossel’s first graphic novel is many things: a delightful satire, an offbeat romance, and a thought-provoking parable about why women still can’t have it all. It’s also a story about living, and thriving, with anxiety—which happens to be the subject of her brother, Scott’s, current Atlantic cover story (and forthcoming book). In this interview, Sage—a prolific cartoonist, the author of two children’s books, and an Atlantic contributing editor—talks about her unconventional superhero, her creative process, and her own memories of growing up with an anxious brother.
