Some other convention merch news: in addition to Six Songs, I’ll also have glossy postcard prints of some of the ink paintings I did as studies for the zine (the ophanimandchayot hakodesh), plus little cherub pins! Cute and horrifying!
Stop by my table at MICE for all your spooky angel needs, and if you’re local and want a peek at some of my inspiration & process, come to MICE Preview Night this Sunday where I’ll be giving a short presentation!

Found this tidbit while reading about Goguac Lake: “In the 1850s the New York Mercury, a journal which sired the dime novel and our modern mystery magazines, published a story whose setting was an island in Goguac Lake. The author is unknown. Its main character was a two personality man. He didn’t have two personalities to begin with, like the later Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but had stolen the ‘soul’ and appearance of a man dying here and placed them in his own sturdy body. The story included plenty of suspense and an evil cat.” (Wikipedia)
