MBIZI ZA MAZA







"Construction in the Mind is fully soluble, lost in the wake of Tidal waves, in memory of the original return. Spirit is accessible, excited in this Shape-Shifting form, adapted to the array of marine internal logic."

Another painting that inspired art used in the Cut Hands Afro Noise I album! This startling figure, at once impassioned + transcendent, is here depicted in artist quality oils + select obscure additions on a 16''x16'' canvas, and is $950 (worldwide insured airmail shipping included). Please write to me at  mimsydeblois@gmail.com for more information, and remain piqued for further disclosures here ... xx

MBOMA







"Touch is jealous Intoxication wine. Lascivious confusion about here as a Cross between the body and the Second Place, for the body betrays its patient flow, its properties and its presence."

The arresting form filling this 16''x16'' canvas also featured in the artwork for the Cut Hands album Afro Noise I.  Here it is composed in artist quality oils + more obscure secret vaudou additions, and is currently priced at $950 (worldwide insured airmail shipping included) - feel free to write to me at  mimsydeblois@gmail.com for more information! Still more to come... xx

MENGA

























"Body in motion is an inflammatory invitation, probing the Boundary at the crossroads of the Living and the Invisibles. Agency in the Journeyer falters, then the Ruthless reality of the dance. Courage, and eventually they go and disappear."

This painting, one of my recent favorites, is artist quality oils and carefully selected + obscurely sourced secret ingredients on 16''x16'' canvas (and psst, design is included in new the Cut Hands Black Mamba album artworks), and is $925 (worldwide insured airmail shipping included) - write to me at mimsydeblois@gmail.com for more information! Working away at new curia to unveil soon ... xx

VÉVÉS VIII

Diversion! Have been hard at work assembling the next edition of Cut Hands garments here in the trusty one-girl sweatshop/atelier (+ for the time being we've some of our limited edition shirts from the first run still available), getting utterly abruptly lost in obscure ethnobotanical inquiry, being immersed in hysterically exciting new sounds, irrevocably spooking the next male generation after agreeing to accompany my uncannily identical twin sister on a job babysitting an erstwhile set of young brothers ... and welcoming a delightfully bitchy little calico addition to the cat coven.

Despite such apparent disarray, an underlying method persists, the fruits of which shall become quickly apparent! Many thanks once more to all those writing with inquiries and requests, correspondence is always most exciting. Much to come and soon ... xx

NKONDI






"The body should not shrink from penetration: it is the ratio of hostilities contaminating it. Teeth bared in all-violent grimace, corrupted and abandoned, a department of exciting additions in excess."

This piece, inspired in part by an ongoing fascination, nay obsession, with Kongo zinkondi, is made from carefully chosen artist quality oil paint and specially sourced secret vodun ingredients on 16''x20'' canvas, and is $1,250 (worldwide insured airmail shipping included).  Please write to me at
mimsydeblois@gmail.com for more information!  You know there's more to come from me xx

VOVA



























"Conceptualization of death as animation's negative corollary makes bad worse. Life and death and all these things em-body the respective participants that are permanent in a mobile, biting cycle of directions. Necrophilic mathematics has no place."

This painting, one of my favorites, is the original inspiration for the cover of 
Cut Hands Afro Noise I Volume 2 LP, as well as for our limited edition shirts - it was made on 16''x16'' canvas with my precious artist quality oils + the usual array of unusual secret additions, and is $895 (worldwide insured airmail shipping included).  Please write to me at mimsydeblois@gmail.com for more information!  Of course, there's more to come ... xx

VÉVÉS VII

A busy busy week, all the work of which on my part, while most exciting, pales terribly in comparison to the beautiful experience of having been ceremoniously gifted a very dead, exsanguinated mouse (dropped in the grass in gory prostration at my feet) by a master huntress neighbor cat. Poor little mouse, yet I can't fault the feline's gesture: her obvious and justified lack of regard for my lethal potential complemented charmingly by her effort, at once maternal and, perhaps more pointedly, gleefully dominant, to help me along in the matter. I do appreciate being so eloquently reminded of my place now and again...

Enjoying so much responding to inquiries and correspondence - still vastly more to come, very soon! xx

VÉVÉS VI

I can't claim the highly alluring trait of ambidexterity, a fact which is normally bothersome only in the realm of hypothetical musings about 'dubious functions one might be able to perform manually given precisely equal use of the left and right hands,' but which enters the realm of practical complaints when, as now, favored hands and fingers bear sore traces of continual jabbing with sewing needles.  A necessary stigmata wrought by one-girl garment production and, all moaning aside, an interesting sensory elaboration to routine activity.  Even better: those with an interest in the material rather than exclusively fleshly results of said labor shall be satisfied tomorrow ... xx

NYOKA






































"It sits at the Boundary. Large swamp filled with the forces of Life and Death, undifferentiated biophilic potential. Snakes are long out of the mud and the Biomancer waits. Life can be accessed. Or death."

YANEKA





"If you are still up, bow your head in Fear, dry mouth and Anticipation. Disbelievers witness the spread of the dream: afraid, Broken. Hands and feet to pull off with splayed movements of birds. Time and sight sick like the very minds are drunk. INITIAL is Flight before the Lunatic drum beat."

This painting is big: 5'x4', in artist grade oils + secret vodun ingredients on canvas, and is $5,250 (insured worldwide FedEx shipping included) -  mimsydeblois@gmail.com for more info!  The hand painted shirt sweatshop continues to operate, and despite being thus far without any additional waifish hirelings to help speed production they are coming along very nicely ... much to come, and soon! xx

DILANGASO






"Darkness is good, a strong intention of direction. The clear goal: a taste of the heat Antropik, informed as to under a shell, with many legs. Never much of an objective self. All push deeper."

This vévé painting is of artist quality oils + some secret ingredients on 16''x16'' canvas, and is $895 (insured worldwide airmail shipping included) - mimsydeblois@gmail.com for more info!  Working a one-girl sweatshop at the moment getting these hand painted Cut Hands shirts done - so much more upcoming ... xx

VÉVÉS II

Dark and sticky and so humid today I am listening expectantly for a small wet sound just beneath each ear, signalling the spontaneous rearrangement of my throat flesh into impromptu gills. Should be exciting! Until then, I am grateful for small savageries: sticking drawing pins into splayed garments to keep them nice and still for painting. Have a lot of these new handmade shirts to do for the Cut Hands US tour in September ... Much more coming soon! xx

MUZOMBI



"Bear in mind the way of the head and its union. The internalized Union and spread of Love and Desire to enable Realization in depth with features and details, all gathering and forming from ever-expanding waves of loud clattering percussion."

*******SOLD*******
This is the original oil painting of the artwork I did for the debut Cut Hands album - it's made from artist grade oils + secret ingredients on 16''x16''  canvas. Much more coming soon! xx
