When Basil Gogos accepted my friend request on facebook, I must admit I did a whole lot of squeee-ing and fan-girling all over my computer screen! To me, he was a living legend, and it warmed my heart to know that he was still out there doing his thing and creating the art that so inspired me throughout my life! Years ago I bought a book of his collected works, and it's still one of my favorites. No one else captured my favorite monsters like he did with his use of color and light. His work has so heavily influenced and inspired me, and I idolize him. I only wish I had been able to meet him in the flesh... RIP, Mr. Gogos... your mad talent will be sorely missed down here on earth.

Just a random observation: In years when armed conflict seems to loom large, camo becomes hot in the fashion world... and I have to say, I kind of love it myself. Not the threat of armed conflict or nuclear armageddon, noooo... but I do enjoy dressing in a post-apocalyptic, Mad Max meets Blade Runner, meets Arnold Schwarzenegger in Predator-chic style! Ha!!!
https://www.vogue.com/article/versace-spring-2016-trends-camouflage http://www.instyle.com/fashion/shop-17-standout-camo-pieces-inspired-runway#359392 I've got a brand new website in the works, and it's launching tomorrow!!! It's just in its infancy, but with Halloween and the gift-giving season approaching, I wanted to go live with it sooner than later! There's even bigger and better things to come, and I feel like an old dog learning new tricks... but it's gonna be cool! ( I hope...)
I wanted to create this blog as a little window into my world. Who am I? What defines me? What inspires me? What makes me tick? This will be the place to be to take a peek inside.
