Psychic Spychick played a show in Anchorage a couple of weekends a...

a lil jigsaw puzzle of recurring nightmares before work ;)

I want to preface this one by saying it’s kind of a downer. I’m having a bit of a haunted time. A lot of incredible things have happened in the past few years. The past few days. I had some sweet time with a 3-month-old this week, drafted a couple of new designs, played a sick show in Anchora...

made it to the city ++ a few shirt pics

I've been having a nice day in Anchorage, staying at a friend's house, eating fruit, casually editing some of the photos I took last night before packing up the shirts. I made some tea. Did my makeup. Wrote a little. Taking advantage of this sweet transition time to relax before rolling into the ...

last preparations before our first gig in the "*city*"

Tomorrow morning, Psychic Spychick heads down to Anchorage to play a show with Turbo Hell and Saint Mood. It's been nice getting to focus on just the music and making new designs without having to worry about all of the event logistics. I'm glad to know we are capable of doing it all, and also gr...

New psychic spychick design//putting in the time

I've been feeling very reflective this month. About how far I've come, how much I've learned, how at peace I am processing through my griefs at this point in my life. It's not *all* peace, but the peace struggles its way to the surface easier and easier. I've been getting really serious about mak...

long meandering blog post about nothing in particular

I finally finished Buffy the Vampire Slayer last Monday. I watched the final episode at 6am, alone in a warehouse. It felt somehow like the correct environment for that sort of thing. I thought about how many people must have been watching it simultaneously back when it first aired on syndicated ...

Black Lodge @ The Bronze Psychic Spychick Violet Cover

Gosh, so much has happened over the past month. Not least of which was a huge party at The Marlin--a Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Twin Peaks crossover costume Halloween party--on the 28th of last month, and it was the most bodies I've seen at that venue in a decade. We were at capacity for most of th...

teaser posters for halloween 2023

Picking these up from the printer on Friday. We are about to haunt the town with oblique teaser posters for the Halloween party. Sara's log lady poster will be available as a print at the show~~

episode iii, revenge of the rainbow

I honestly am surprised that I haven't shared this recording with you all yet-! I'm sorry it took so long. No drums here, but this is the Rainbow Connection cover that Sara and I worked out over several sessions, rewriting the chords, recounting the measures, remaking a classic.

lilac *practice recording - Sept. 2023

Alright, my friends, here is the latest rough recording of Lilac. We are still figuring out the loop life proper (setting, maintaining, listening, following, triggering, etc.), but we're getting closer every time we try. Artists who loop live are no joke. It takes serious practice. When people do...

first studio jam // 08.29.2023

Visited by images of Gumby and Pokey trapped in a heavily redacted Louis L'Amour novel.

visions of the present nexus

It's been kind of a wild month.

In some ways, I've experienced the worst mental health of my adult life. I have never wanted to die, get off the ride & go home, so wholly as I have in the past month. Not since I was a (developmentally appropriate) impulsive and hormonally imbalanced pre...

a check-in for Aug

There are many things moving around in my life and my mind right now. Planning for a big Halloween art party, in the planning phase for a couple of big painting projects, wrote a new song and had a chance to workshop it on-stage a couple of times at the fair last week, finally got myself a car an...

website live

Sara and I have been working on building the bones of an online gallery and shop for our art for the past 5 weeks, and it's officially live today. Also fresh today are 11x17 posters of the tapestry art from My Yucky Valentine. Take a peek on the Spy Shop. Everyone on the schlugernaut tier will be...

grief & messy musings on the gong 07.02.2023

Hell, y'all. This is a particularly griefy time of year. It's a long, strange, dilated window of time between when my mom died and when I made the call. It's the guilt of being a full-time support of somebody so lost and alone and poison with fear, and not being there when they needed you most, i...

hats and patches from may 6

I made a few blacklight-embroidered hats and patches for the show earlier this month. It's been fun making band merch exclusively by hand and selling it out of a blacklit briefcase by the stage. It's all just doodlin'. I only finished 2 hats and 1 patch, and I don't feel pressure to make any more...

update 05-27-2023

Oy, I finally got the audio pulled from the Marlin show. I got a good take of J Brig's set, but the batteries in my field recorder died during the first song of our set. I know I have about 50 solid minutes of recording time now before I need to swap the batteries. Lots of fun new project ideas a...

a new pedal, a break, a song by julien baker

It's been a long couple of weeks. Car broke down again, just in time for biking season, again. I worked 11 days consecutively at the farm with a gig in the middle so I guess I've been a little dissociated in order to take care of all of the things. While the work isn't particularly physically str...

Psychic Spychick @ The Marlin 05.06.2023

A picture my friend Dom took of the Marlin gig this weekend. Psychic Spychick's 2nd bar gig ever. It went well. I made hats. Always a pleasure to share the stage with J Brig. I took some audio direct from the board, and am now determined to deep clean my studio in search of my SD card reader so I...

spring renewal

I was smoking a cigarette on my porch this morning watching the snowflakes fall and melt in the sun on my sleeves. It’s really spring. My projects are mostly domestic these days. I am growing plants and baking bread and moving my furniture around to make room for, something else. In all of the ...

03-20-2023

It is the vernal equinox today. The beginning of Spring. These transitional moments mean more to me living in the far-north than they did when I lived on an island where sunlight was an inconsistent and season-less gift. Existing on Earth in a place that forces you into obvious cycles of light-an...

myv bts pt 1 : the music video

Oooh, the party is this weekend and I want to share a little bit of the process with ya while it's still fresh. The first project we did after deciding to throw a party was a video for the Kickstarter.

We decided to make it a music video with text overlays because talking in front of a came...

myv 2023 // bts first glance

The other day I was painting a tapestry in my living room and had one of those time-dilation experiences where I didn't know how I found myself in that particular moment. I've been working full-speed on this yucky valentine party for the past 6 weeks and I have so many bts pictures of what's been...

my yucky kicky launched

Link to the thing: http://kck.st/3vbx9xC

Holy shit we have been hard at work creating the framework for a most excellent party we are throwing in February. It's called My Yucky Valentine: A Blasphemy of Desire.

We're doing ...

come closer to me // MYV prep

Hello my friends. Every day is a nose-grinder getting closer to the 12/21 kickstarter launch date for the valentine party 2023. Art has been made. Projects have been scheduled. Budgets have been calculated. Today I learned this song for the video and recorded it while prepping Yule cards for the ...

Small projects dec 2022

I just finished out a week working for the ballet on The Nutcracker. It's always a lot of work and a lot of love. I've been doing little crafts here and there this month. Thinking about my yule card. I made some buttons and beads out of polymer clay, and made my first earrings. Recycled some sock...
