happy black cat day! we're celebrating with this sweetest baby boy who we adopted yesterday (he is not remotely as grumpy as this photo makes him look lol)
a 9mo tuxedo kitten sits on a sunny windowsill; he has white feet, a white shield, white around his collar, and a white chin beard; he has kind of a drunken, grumpy look about his face because he just woke up and is now like, "where's the canned salmon, Hands Creature?"

friends! enemies! if you're in Baltimore this Thursday night, come check out Proxima Arcanum's reading at The Current Space! it's a terrific venue w/ cool folks & great vibes (fun fact: I'm one of the readers!)
poster for the reading; the images have an Elizabethan vibe, featuring a tilted, full-cheeked sun & an eyebrow-cocked moon above a Ye Old English-type city. Between the sun and moon sits the text: Proxima Arcanum - Current Space - April 16th; music by Bloody Crying Twinks; words by Malik Thompson, KC Mead-Brewer, Dom Dickey, & Christopher Luis-Jorge; tarot by Soleil; vending by Andy Lowrie, The House Handcrafted, & Neon Hemlock

no love better than a reader's love (plus check out my awesome graphic-making skillz) (plus here's the link to the story: bulbregion.com/Even-After-Y...)
a totally nuts image made via Paint; it's just three different cropped screenshots of different bsky posts about my new story "Even After You're Gone" with The Bulb Region -- the posts are all compliments from different readers, things like "I loved this!" and "That is...fucked...up. Beautifully fucked up. Perfection." and "Holy Hell. I mean it as a compliment. I am very glad I read this. I can't remember what I was thinking about all morning beforehand!"

A floral patterned armchair (it reminds you more of an aunt than a grandmother) sits behind a matching footrest in an empty corner of a white room. (Well, empty, save for a wall vent; it's possible something might be lurking just within, looking out at you from this photograph.) There's sun coming through an unseen window, casting the chair and footrest's shadows along the blank wall. It almost looks like the furniture's ghosts are whispering to each other. 

Nothing happens in this photo, and yet there's an odd tension to it, isn't there? Perhaps it's because of how the footrest sits just a touch too far from the chair. Or perhaps it's the vacuum marks in the beige carpet, which pairs with all the empty whiteness to communicate a sense of intentional abandonment. 

All that's known for certain is that this chair and footrest are trapped within this corner as surely as they are trapped within this photograph. I wouldn't gaze at them for too long, though. You might get ideas about joining them for a seat.

I made less of a "2026 vision board" and more of a "2026 story inspiration cabinet"
a closed wooden box; rectangular and unadorned the same wooden box from first photo, only now a white hand cracks it open and there's a glow from within (and a promise of lovely chaos)the box is fully open, revealing a wild collage of colors, text, dollhouse lights, beads, buttons, & other media; it looks to be both random and intentional, full of tiny paths and rooms, ideas and textures

I absolutely cannot stop thinking about The Wolf House -- one of the most beautifully disturbing films I've ever seen, the stop-motion is exquisite
from the movie The Wolf House: a woman painted on a wall blows up a 3D red balloon for a pair of papier-mâché children -- everything is eerie and gross-looking yet compelling and gorgeous as well

working on some novel pages at my fav neighborhood bar The Honeypot & asked for something to match the scene I'm working on -- salty, briny, dark & bright both at once, a dare more than a challenge -- & goddamn if they didn't deliver!!!!
A voluptuous little cocktail sits before some marked up novel pages in a darkened, candlelit room; the drink has a light orange color & a curl of orange peel for a garnish; as the look promises, there is a bright note of orange upon first sip but then it plunges into a salty, savory dream, giving one the feeling that they've just eaten an oyster zested with a bit of citrus

a lil something to celebrate The Return of @byronqueen.bsky.social's David Lynch writing workshop: I collect antique ocular prosthetics & my favorite is this haunting fellow with an owl painted in the iris
A white hand with black nail polish holds aloft a prosthetic eye (against a blurred background revealing a yellow case of other prosthetic eyes): the featured eye is painted with many delicate red veins and, barely visible beneath my index finger, a number is painted in black along the eye's top crest. The true beauty of this eye, though, is the iris: solid black save for a tiny golden owl, their wings open in flight as if swooping toward you from within the eye's night-sky darkness
