Greetings, darlings.

As I probably mentioned before, I’ve had a secret project in the works for several months now. I finally got around to it and the result? A new Etsy shop with a totally different feel to it.
Angel City

Consider it a side project.
This is definitely not a new look or feel for Serpenthes, it’s just an addition to.
It’s unlikely it’ll ever be more than an Etsy shop. Everything is one of a kind and absolutely original, so once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Tell your friends and relatives.

Very quickly, darlings -

I put a couple of new things up in the shoppe: a set of very limited edition note-cards and a couple of greeting cards featuring the dapper Monsieur Roach, who hasn’t been available in any print form until now.

Working on even more new stuff to put up at a later time.
Til then.

Hello dolls!
I come to you with yet another update. I’ve been gone from home for a few days and in those days my mind has been observing, storing, and plotting.

I have a very exciting new project in store for myself. It may take a while for me to gather materials for execution but it’ll happen. It’s something I’ve been mulling over in my head for several years now. I’m going back to my roots for a small side project that I’ll debut at some point this summer.

Now, on to other matters.
I’ve just put two new Moleskine notebooks up for sale that I penned this very afternoon. The muses have been working overtime. I’m in the process of another of a different variety so hopefully that’ll be up in a day or so.

And finally, for today’s Writer’s Block:
What type of music inspires you?

What a question.
These days I tend to stick to music that makes me dream in sepia. At the moment I’m pretty fond of dark country (16 Horsepower, The Ravonettes) and of the British flashback to 60s pop (Amy Winehouse, Duffy)… for the most part, that’s what’s on constant at the moment. Tom Waits, Arcade Fire, Rasputina, and the Rat Pack are a pretty surefire way to get my brain going too.
I’m also a huge fan of ridiculous, epic classical music. Though I will admit that sometimes it goes beyond inspiration and back down to the defeat in knowing I will never ever create something that beautiful.

And THAT is enough of my issues for today.

Have a good weekend, loves.

Welcome, darlings.
Look at me, not taking 3 months to write again.

I’ve put a couple of new things up in the boutique and gave my site a small facelift.

Etsy boutique

My birthday is in 3 days. How alarming! Celebrate by buying some artwork off of me.
There are now a couple of framed originals on sale for the first time.
Humor me and take a look.

current beverage: cafe au lait
current sounds: The Raconteurs - Hands

I’ve moved the boutique over to Etsy. I am a huge fan of that site and if you’re not a member yet… you should be.

New address:
http://serpentes.etsy.com

*please note the lack of “h” in above url. Apparently that name was taken already. I’ve killed for less.

Happy New Year, darlings!
I hope you’re all well and hope this year treats us better than the last.

Several things for you to do:

1. My brother has started another music project. Go to his myspace page and add him immediately:

3. A friend and I recently started our own business that will eventually result in our own stationery shop. For now we are focusing on social occasions and weddings so if you or anyone you know will be giving a fabulous party or getting married anytime soon and need to look into invitations, get to this site:
kindlyrsvp.net
or email me directly: design@kindlyrsvp.net

4. Last but definately not least, heres my semi-annual plug for the awesome that is
Motor City comic
Created/written by a good friend of mine and amazingly illustrated, Motor City is what you get when you mix greasers, ghouls, vampires, hot rods, hot chicks and lots of awesome. Visit the blog, check out the website. The graphic novel is set to release early 2008 with a kickass party and art gallery showing (which yours truly will be participating in).

So that’s all for now.
More things of the exciting nature at a later time.

xoxo
