Take a Deep Breath, Relax, And Enjoy this Ride

These are the musings of G. Edwin Taylor. I'm a professional published artist and hypnotist, which means that my posts here can go in any number of intriguing directions. I was voted "Best New Visual Artist of Chicago 2012" by the Chicago Reader, and I'm a member of the Portrait Society of America.

Have you ever had a moment where you think, "Well. This is beyond fucking neat"? Here's one of mine. The fellas from #VENOM wearing my #art. #Revolt Amps (I designed a slew of logos for them, including the company logo) is in cahoots with these guys for something very special coming soonish. #Venom #metal #guitar #bass #RevoltAmplifications #RevoltAmps #pedals #RevoltAgainstTheOthers

Years ago, before Amazon, I was on the hunt for a book on #ventriloquism. There were none to be found in bookstores and they couldn't special order any either. I finally found one in a magic shop, long forgotten and covered in dust in their backroom. #Throwback

In a soaked Chicago, a Warlock with a steady hypnotic gaze stands in the rain, as somewhere in the near distance a crazed woman shouts on a glistening street. #Chicago #Satanist #CoS

My brand new #Satanic #Warlock lapel pin from #iSatanist is positively beautiful! #CoS #ChurchOfSatan

Every few years I get a great reminder of the truly charmed life that I live. Earlier today I was given a box of #hardcover books and this happened to be in it. #FirstEdition #Vampire #Lestat #AnneRice

My signed copy of the Devil's Reign: Psychedelic Blasphemy featuring art from the current show came in today! This photo doesn't even come close to doing the foil stamped cover justice. #Satanism #ChurchOfSatan #PeterHGilmore #HowlGallery #art

Have you ever felt so incredibly excited to get your hands on something that you've been waiting for? That rush of adrenaline as your heart beats faster and faster because of the anticipation that's been building for months? Yes. I'm guilty as charged. #Satanist #Warlock #ChurchOfSatan #Satanic #Satanism #SatanicWarlock #GreaterMagic #LesserMagic #GetWhatYouWant #CoS
