2026
Here is a a link fantastic interview I did with Dr. Pedro Ortega Ventureira of Aulós Publishing. I genuinely appreciated the thoughtful questions and the opportunity to ruminate on and attempt to articulate how I think about all kinds of things. The questions were genuinely considered and gave me room to think out loud in ways I don’t often get to.
We covered a lot of ground: my strange, sideways relationship with goth subculture, the heavy metal origins of my particular flavor of darkness, how symbolist and decadent art first found me through my mother’s tarot collection and album covers, the building of the Art in the Margins series, and some fumbling attempts to articulate what the occult in art means to me. There’s also some talk of what’s coming in 2026. I hope you’ll give it a read.
Art in the featured image includes Alphonse Mucha, Odilon Redon, Chet Zar, Unica Zurn, Joseba Eskubi .

I love the interview, but when did they make you a saint- St. Elizabeth?
S. Elizabeth says
Hehehehe, I saw that too and had to laugh! I am probably the opposite of a saint!

Since I only read Spanish at an elementary school level, I gave up halfway through the interview, but I was jazzed to read that you love metal music. Nightwish was the band that lured me in to the joy and beauty of metal. 🤘🏼The doctor's site looks quite alluring, and perhaps I will work on my Spanish.
