This meeting could have been a veiled threat, communicated solely by floral bouquets being sent back and forth, utilizing the Victorian language of flowers.

Acid Renaissance: Arcana - coda www.lazaruscorporation.co.uk/blogs/artist...

Such a beautiful day out with @ladyliminal.bsky.social! We hit Hastings and @lazaruscorporation.co.uk's exhibition. Paul, it was lovely to see you and I'm so glad it's been a success! It was also fabulous to finally meet @mariastrutz.bsky.social and @philh.bsky.social in the flesh! Massive loves 🖤✨️

Last day is this Sunday

How do I get myself "cancelled" and claim that my free speech has been eroded so that I too can get extensive free mainstream media coverage (Telegraph, Times, Irish Times, BBC etc) to promote my work? (which for me is an exhibition that is on at 1200 Postcards in Hastings until Aug 24 btw)?

As I was just reading this now, I was wondering if something good could actually come of nostalgia.

For any Lovecraftian Dagon worshippers near Hastings, there's a bronze statue of a "frog" holding up a "offering bowl" in one of the local antique shops. A snip at £245

Fantastic!! I'll be heading over on the weekend of the 16th if anyone wants to come with!!

Didn't Google try this a few years ago, and all the people spotted wearing them were either avoided or got a slap?

A short news item about my exhibition that starts tomorrow, in which I clumsily talk through a short video interview www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/fantast...

I've hung my pieces ready for the exhibition to open at 1200 Postcards in Hastings on Friday at 6pm. I hope to see some of you there!

With Bluesky implementing the UK Online Safety Act so you'll need to provide some sort of ID or face a reduced service (see bsky.social/about/blog/0...), I once again remind you to 1. set up an RSS reader so that you can follow peoples' blogs (link in thread below), and 2. set up your own website

This is a cracking article and chimes in with a lot of stuff I’ve been thinking about re: the death spiral of remakes, and the growth of self-referential futility.

I was going through boxes of my stuff and found one remaining copy of Rituals & Declarations Vol 1 Issue 2 (Spring 2020) - previously thought to have been long sold out - so I've added it to the shop: shop.lazaruscorporation.co.uk/category/zines

The witch walks for practicalities – field edge and hedge are pharmacy, a calendar telling the slow turn of the year in what may be seen and plucked. The witch walks for magic – treading paths as ritual conversation with the land. There are no dull navigations. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

New giclée prints, frames, and mounts ordered for August's exhibition. A lunchtime break, then on to designing the flyers/posters.

I have a solo exhibition coming up in Hastings in August. Details to follow in the next few days, but the opening night, to which you're all invited, will be Friday 1st August 6-8pm

Playing with a 2nd-hand Yamaha RX-5 (the drum machine that Eldritch wrote Floodland on, and from where he resampled the kick, snare, and hats* onto the Akai S900 sampler for the recording of Floodland). * & shaker + tamborine which, combined, mark every beat in Flood II, unless my ears deceive me

I do like it when multiple blogs xollectively start picking apart the same concept from different starting points

mining our collective childhood for wistful cultural trinkets <p>Metaphor is a powerful tool, and I&#8217;m a big fan of it, but metaphor is also a magickal working; if you keep describing an angry, capricious god, you&#8217;ll sure as shit get one.</p>

reposting for the evening crowd

“But I think it goes further than nostalgia: in our collective despair at failing to build one of the myriad of better futures, we’ve resorted to futilely constructing ourselves a better past…”

I'm deeply honored to be cited in @lazaruscorporation.co.uk's beautiful new essay about folk horror, hauntology, and the pitfalls of nostalgia under capitalism. Give it a read; it's worth your time.

Can't think of anything pithy to say about this excellent article, except to say if you're anywhere in the hauntological, psychogeographical, folklore, anti-capitalist world, read it

Another fascinating read -- and how exciting to see bloggers bouncing off each other as if it's 2008 again. FWIW, one of the guiding principles for my next collection of weird stories is to avoid setting things in the past, fun as it is; and to *try* to tell stories that could only be set now.
