there is chivalry. it exists. magical. your talent thrills me. tonight. thank you. till we meet again. &. again.

you give me fever

so i don't know why its taken me this long to come across the awesomely talented julia deville, but i am happy to have found her now.

aside from her insane taxidermy pieces, she's jewelry artist as well. having a love for history, death, animals from a young age, she incorporates all of this into her work. her jewelry is particularly meaningful and quite romantic- inspired by jewelry of 14th-18th century, this idea that a piece of jewelry would be worn in wake of a death..a memento for a love loss, mourning jewelry. gorgeous pieces assembled from black diamonds, coffins and skulls. quite exquisite. just reading about the history of what inspires her jewelry is quite wonderful to think about from a costume design perspective. check out her website...you will definitely want to buy her out on everything. i adore the taxidermy work and love the egg repositories.
you'll find some of her jewelry incorporates actual taxidermy pieces, birds woven into broaches - just stunning.
her vision of death is also very wonderful to me. in many cultures, or different times, i find the way people except or honor death to be so fascinating. it gives you clarity and beauty. having dealt with the loss of a very close friend recently, i just can not forget his importance to me ..how he surrounds me and is a daily thought...i feel like in american culture its so traditional..the way death is handled. its interesting to think about her work and the way she identifies and only uses animals who have died of natural causes in her work...i even read that she donated her body once she dies.





i think i'd be crazy not to scoop something up from her. its by far some of the most unique pieces i've seen in a while.

drink me!

my ideals have got me on the run.

up the down escalator

the end has no end

not saying we are cut from the same tree..

i can't decide if i am fully committed to this group yet. i think i have to throw on an album while i draw, late one night in order to determine how i completely feel. its too soon to tell for sure, but i'm more in the thumbs up realm & really excited. i did some reading on them, out of pure curiousity. i feel like music in this realm of animal collective, deerhunter, women, wavves , could possibly be the next big thing. noise rock-thrashy ambient instrumentals-low-fi punky-peculiar vocals, digital analog, = you really can't go wrong...
its like looking at a henry darger painting- and the soundtrack you would expect from something so innocently demented--which i think animal collective may even use as some of their artwork...but don't quote me on that.


all i know is i'm soooooo in to this cut, its not even funny. even this video is hype..totally more on the psychedelic realm and less noisy than the rest of the deerhunter stuff i've heard..

for me its almost an explosion of shoegaze and even sonic youth-and this mixture of things that is completely modern and exciting. its kinda where neutral milk hotel left off, call me crazy for saying it but!!!...its total current experimentation in music. RAD//DAD!

I’m alone in life to say

AM 180
