Upcoming Events!

I shall be vending this event on all three weekends with Kuriouser and Kuriouser! Come see me! Come buy strange garments and accessories! Come ogle at the phenomena of physics that is my vending tent! Hope to see you there! If you are good, I might even let you look at the log that I brought all the way from Vermont to display bracelets on! More info HERE. About the faire... not the log....

This is an event I am looking forward to very much. I am dressing Desert Sin for their scintillating piece, Onania. The show has a killer line-up. Come see things that I am certain will shock, amaze, and baffle you! Certainly not for the faint of mind, weak of heart, and anyone younger than legal drinking age. It is at Galapagos Art Space, a venue worth seeing in and of itself.

Hopefully I've sold you on it. Now attend it! And enjoy yourself!

A Break

My hands and feet are busted. I have mastered the art of quadruple-tasking, and have found out just how possible it is to survive and revive on Gatorade and sheer will. Throwing up, passing out due to dehydration, and somehow bruising my eye socket all before an 8 hour workday seems to be telling me that working too hard might actually be a health issue.

However, for four days, I am on vacation. In Vermont. I knitted most of a sweater on the train up, and have a list of art I've been meaning to get around to. Let us see if it happens.

And... I just saw a moose.

Enchanted Menagerie!

Here are photos from the Enchanted Menagerie event, in which I had a fashion show that felt a bit like a retrospective... I dressed all my models like animals (except Olivia, who was dressed as a strange thing in a mask) from different collections of mine over the years. I am of the belief that the show would have been spectacular, even if my models were dressed in burlap sacks, since their energy and movement was so wonderful! Thank you to everyone!

Fashion Show!

Also, here's some press from a show I helped Andy Jordan with earlier this month, but was too insanely busy to post about:

Events Coming Up!

This weekend, a multimedia spectacular will be occurring at Galapagos Art Space in Dumbo, NYC. Sunday night I will be having a fashion show with some of my more theatrical pieces, and some really great music! And did I mention that this event is FREE??? Holy rusted metal Batman, check out some more info HERE.

Though, for the first time, I may actually be having an assistant in my place for this show because I have paintings in the art show in BALTICON!!! and I must attend for networking reasons. If you are in the Baltimore area, come have fun with us artsy nerds!

And on June 25th, I shall be showing a collection at The Enchanted Menagerie, and kicking off Pride week with a bang! I will post a flier soon, as well as photos of my new paintings!

Steampunk World's Faire Aftermath

Hello all, I have finally gotten over the delectable feeling of getting hit by the truck that is a fashion show, and have some of my personal photos to share with you. I'm sure there will be many posts about this event, as there were a plethora of photographers there, and if I find my costumes in their pictures, I will gladly share them. At the moment, Anna Fischer has some lovely ones of the different designer's looks, taken immediately after they came off the runway.

The fashion show was a fantastic event, coordinated by Brit Frady-Williams, a talented designer herself. She has actually been selected to participate in London fashion week in September this year, but like many gifted designers at this level, lacks the sufficient funds to get there. She is taking donations, and her Kickstarter project can be found HERE. If you can, please consider giving even a little bit to this cause, and I will consider it a favor to me. Brit has really helped me to publicize my work, and is a great person to boot. If anyone deserves to go to London and show it what she's got it's her.

Alright, that having been said, on to the pictures! Most if not all of these were taken by Nick Levinos, a musical fellow who is currently scoring a future show of mine!

Hillary Dragovich, a lovely lady who did not mind being dressed as a birdcage.

The ever expressive Marc Robinson

After the show was finally over, we got to have a photoshoot out near the parking lot.

Hillary and Marc on Saturday, when we were dressed up and enjoying the convention.

Kuriouser & Kuriouser

So, as I have previously mentioned, my good friend Kelly Kotulak is a very talented a sculptress, prop maker and jewelry designer. We have recently joined forces under the banner Kuriouser & Kuriouser, a new vending identity that you may now see at various faires and conventions all along the east coast. We also have a shiny new BLOG that you can check out, with lots of pictures of our collaborative adventures.

So come see us at events! Buy my costumes and corsets and her jewelry! Or at least come into our new nomadic curiosity shop that we are beginning to call home!

Goings on and Happenstances...

So in the 3 weeks since FAT, I have vended at the Spoutwood Farm Faery Festival with Kuriouser and Kuriouser, a collaboration and vending entity between myself and sculptress/jewelry designer Kelly Kotulak. One week later I had a spectacular photoshoot with photographer Adrian Buckmaster and hair/makeup artist Irene Delgado. A week after that, (this last weekend) I participated in a fashion show at the Steampunk World's Faire.

And now I am resting, because no rest for 5 weeks straight makes certain Kristin's feel like they've been hit by a truck that means well. And then takes their voice...

Anyway, more about most of this stuff later, when I've properly eaten enough spinach to knock Popeye into oblivion, and listened to enough Janis Joplin to propel a revolution! As for right now, observe the Pre-Raphaelite beauty of Adrian's photos, as I fall into a well deserved coma.

Steampunk Worlds Faire!

Come to the Steampunk fashion show featuring my work, as well as many other talented designers!

FASHION WEEK PICTURES!!!

A bit of a delayed post, but a good one nonetheless! FAT was wonderful, working with the IMAGOzine team was amazing, and I can't wait to team up with them again! Here are a number of runway photos by Actionpixpro.com

I met a number of fantabulous models, and talented designers and stylists that I hope to work with again! Just look at the hair and makeup on these models!

More credits to come soon!
