Hi all-- been kinda silent over here. Been knee deep in client work this summer. Hoping to finally work on some new stuff. In the meanwhile I'm hosting this workshop next Wednesday at my studio. Come spend time learning some basics in transforming apparel into goth/punk statement pieces.

One of the things I love about my studio location is the two story windows that perfectly frame the autumn colors. I can sit on my couch and feel okay in those moments.

The whole experience from start to finish has been a unique journey. Im glad I took the job even if it felt a little out of my normal work. It was nice to do something different. Also my first time attending a professional soccer game.

While I didn't have a breath taking moment seeing the stands with people twirling my scarf design in the air (it was 95f, wtf with a heavy woven scarf) It was still impactful being on the giant screens. Was told while leaving that someone said "that's the person who designed the scarf"

Did some big print runs this past weekend and got Crow Wraith and Necropolis bandanas restocked. This might be the last round of glow in the dark for Necropolis. The ink is getting really expensive and I am having to make some hard decisions on what I restock right now. dancingheron.com

Off white cotton bandana featuring corner ornamentation in black ink featuring a murder of flying crows with a crowned and veiled skull in the corner.

Zoom in on corner details featuring the veiled skull with crows flying up from behind

Mirror sided black bandana featuring a gates and architecture of a necropolis printed in glow in the dark ink. In front of the gate is a duel winged creature with two skulls and shared ribcage and hips.

Feeling the anxiety today. But I kinda wished I was worrying about nonsensical stuff, and not anxietying over legit concerns. Its so much easy to shut stuff down when it's "no, that's not even a thing, JD" than "Ummm, good luck with that..." 🙃 Instead, please enjoy this from the 2012 archives
