CATALOG

This week has sounded thrilling, perhaps excessively so, as I've managed to catch the kind of cold that comes from inattentive susceptibility - brazenly under-dressing or some other flagrant willingness to play viral host. The abandon is well worth it. Being only in favor of voluptuous disarray, however, + decidedly not of clutter, I've compiled a catalog of vévé paintings to date. Hi-res photos + complete information in a neat discrete alternative to scrolling through web pages. Please download at http://www.sendspace.com/file/13pw05 !

WITCHES' ALMANAC

An overgrown pure black cat stood determinedly in my path yesterday in the middle of a familiar neighborhood grown over with the uncanny moss of damp light that comes between intermittent rain showers.

Or, that unique composure of being drawn out of sleep by crystalline awareness of a faucet in the darkened bathroom opening and closing with a metal hiss. Nothing there + the room’s not empty.

There’s an edge of hysteria to all the vividly dying foliage that creeps up against the steady barriers of peripheral vision - you could just sink into the ground all soupy proteins at any second, sliding neatly into earthy pores.

It’s been a magical season so far. A dose of ritual immersion on the equinox can’t have hurt, + a certain occasion exactly one month in can’t but sustain the mood …

I'VE BEEN BAD...

Magical week split between prowling multilevel esoteric shops in the most marine recesses of New England + a fortuitous (I swear) full-frontal run-in with Folsom St Fair 2012 ... all of which but ornamentation splayed attractively around a Black Mamba centerpiece idol.

The result plus some more prosaic matters is, your generally faithful lady artist has been somewhat absent. No longer, of course - guilt owned + penance paid, I shall resume revelation of the work that has somehow gone on despite (because of?) successive days of rarefied titillation ... xx

VÉVÉS XI

Here, immoderate glee at the emergence of excessively early Hallowe'en paraphernalia + arcane fixation on consuming the darkest, most subterranean and occult of plants as a staple diet. In the space of a day: empathizing with a growling rubber werewolf that shivers + spits jets of suspect-looking warm water (an intentional function? the display box worryingly failed to elaborate) + going into paroxysms of delight at the discovery of black string beans to accompany purplish-dark kale in a thoroughly eldritch meal, like mutual biting + digestion, of + by the earth itself.

Thrilled by all the inquiries and messages I have been receiving of late, I welcome and indeed encourage yet more, especially from those who might wish to share a glimpse of their own, sympathetically-inclined artworks - ever eager for such communicative stimuli!  + more, more to come ... xx

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
