Almost. It’s a big word for me. I feel it everywhere. Almost home. Almost happy. Almost changed. Almost, but not quite. Not yet. Soon, maybe. I’m hoping hard for that.

You can look but you can’t touch, I don’t think I like you much.

Cards that are sleek, dark, sophisticated — just like you.

For a while now I’ve enjoyed working on striking paper goods, digital “cards”, graphic illustrations and anything related.

About 2 years ago, I showed a friend a series of dark love cards that I designed in college and she loved them so much, she encouraged me to sell them online. After sitting on that thought for a couple of years — I decided to move forward with her advice.

These past couple of months I’ve been sketching, designing, prototyping a series of cards inspired by those original dark cards made many moons ago. 

I’m really excited to share this labor of love.

Stay tuned.

The Modern Haunted Mansion

Well, not really.

But I did move to a new apartment recently that I’m absolutely in love with. Slowly but surely, I’ve been decorating it into a modern rendition of a haunted mansion. Looking to collect a few key pieces — such as a victorian couch, rustic media stand, and a few taxidermy, antler items and we should be set!

Hope to post some more pictures in the next couple of months!

A spooky “altar” with meaningful items containing memories and intentions. 

A quiet, meditative corner.

Herbs and plants on our breezy balcony.

Been watching a lot of Peaky Blinders and Boardwalk Empire. I imagine that a blue-haired descendant of mine from that time looked a lot like this. This was my outfit for The Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governor's Island a few weekends ago. After a millennia — I finally went!
