the blue fairy that turned pinnochio into a real boy and the green fairy that gives us absinthe imply the existence of an equally iconic but hereto unidentified red fairy

This is actually such a powerful image

My contribution to the latest Neath to Reach zine. The original idea involved an autopsy conducted via mirror, but this is much nicer (and much less work)

well, let's see...

some candles come from beeswax: the fruits of collective labor

other candles come from rendered fats: a trophy of death

hope that helps!

commit blasphemies for power. unethical jewels. hoard them. dragon blasphemies—do them. lair furnishings. accoutrements. candles (both kinds). claws, elongated, growing, like spikes of rusted iron. eyes, numerous. like a cathedral if it was alive, reptilian. see time. never die. get more unethical jewels. you can eat them, hold them on your tongue, keep them tucked away inside old wounds. unethical jewels: they've got your back! that's why it's so important that you hoard them. so important that you build a place to keep them safe. can be small, can be big. faintly luminous blood, pale neon watermelon, looks great when spilled on unethical jewels

The kickstarter for a documentary about my dad's life and artwork is now live! His name was Kent Melton and he was a sculptor for Disney, Dreamworks, Laika, Hanna-Barbera, and many other studios over the years. It's being put together by a friend of his, Maria, who worked with him at Laika!

Today's the day

Santa Claus wakes up. It’s the Tuesday after Christmas, so he dresses in black. He goes to the shore of stars. He calls for his boat. He sails south.

it's that time of year again, y'all

we start off with appetizer plates: cheese, chutney, and a last-minute (off-menu) antipasto plate from my youngest brother. the wine pairing is a riesling from germany with a special meaning to me (which we shall not discuss here due to it being, hilariously, When They Cry spoilers)

next is french onion soup, topped with a toasted baguette slice and gruyere cheese. more white wine, this time from Oregon.

then, the main course arrives: a beef rib roast, yorkshire pudding, and peas. the butcher over-trimmed the beef this year, requiring us to supplement the drippings with goose fat (!!) to make the pudding turn out properly. also: the wine is apparently from a local vineyard!

finally, dessert. pop's famous pecan pie (with just a touch of grand marnier whipped into the cream) was a little runny this year but the taste was even better than usual. this was followed with english toffee and fudge, and paired with a 27 year old (!!) vintage port.

tomorrow, I start my long journey home, and honestly, I'm looking forward to being home. but it was fun while it lasted ^_^
