A couple of weeks ago, I attended Astra Lumina, a temporary light exhibition in Los Angeles. I'd first seen the ads for it on Instagram, and I was keen to go. That said, I bought the $38 USD ticket and, along with my sister and partner, we headed out for the first slot of the …

...well, I don't know yet. But recently, I purchased a small box of temporary tattoo stencils during Black Friday, just for the hell of it. Since getting my first (and only) tattoo to date almost seven years ago, I've oscillated over getting another tattoo(s) over the years, but I've never gotten around to sealing the …

Bonjour! Continuing with Part 1 of my museum visits in France a couple of weekends ago, I will go forward with the second part of my visit that Sunday after lunch: With our stomachs full from wine and *super-rich* Italian food, my colleagues and I made the trek over to the other part of town …
Bonjour! A couple of weeks ago, I decided to spend a day at not one, but two museums in my town in France. Considering that I had been living in town for over a month and barely went out, I thought that it was time to go exploring and see what the town had to …
Ink It is an artform that sings life, singeing every fibre deep into lifelines, calling for vessels journeying to shore. They rise and fall upon blood streams crimson to the pain sharp and swift, painting a history indelible to the touch. A dark ink imbues the parted canvas, sinking heavily into the abyss before settling …
