Welcome to my Freak Show

About Me

I'm an artist living in the Bay Area.From home I craft items for my store:I also sell in select shops.I design and craft a variety of merchandise, specializing in boards--such as talkingboards ( Ouija ) and pendulumboards; I also make pentacles, doll and puppets, carnival hats, and have my art and designs available on many items including boxes and journals and the like.

My Interests

Ouija Boards, The Paranormal, Spirit Contact, Seances, Spiritualism, Halloween, Ghosts, Ghost Hunting, Feri, Psychic, Cemeteries, Victorian, Outsider Art, Art Nouveau, Lowbrow Art, Voodoo, Hoodoo, Witches, Devils, Talking Boards, Carnival, Circus, Freaks, Clowns

I'd like to meet:

Other artists, or anyone who inspires me. Persons who might in turn be inspired by the things I create, such as...

Books:

I seldom pick up a book that I hate, though I tend to reach for the classics or else dark, fanciful stuff. For non-fiction I go for the occult stuff.

Currently I do the layout for the zine Witch Eye, and will soon be working on a book version of earlier printings. You can find out more about Witch Eye by clicking the image above.


I also sell a number of occult books, mostly related to the Feri Tradition of Witchcraft, which you can see by clicking on the Magician featured above.
