Clarion Update

Norway | Aerial View

Snow. I haven’t seen snow since I was back in Tennessee. Y’all, my heart has been pounding since I arrived. I cage fucking believe I made it to the land of ice and snow.

I have SOOOOOOOOO fucking much to tell you all. Holy fuck.

Is This Real Life?

To add to my previous post, Kjetil just sent me this. 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

DO I DESERVE THIS?! Holy fuck this is surreal!

London

It feels surreal being here. In a way, it’s like another day, but the reality is, this is my first time to Europe. Maybe it’s not a big deal; and maybe I’m making a mountain out of a mile hill, but I’m genuinely a kid in a candy store right now.

And, they are FINALLY serving wine on flights! Unfortunately, unless I’m connected to Wi-Fi, I cannot get on here and update! Once I land in Oslo, that’s where the really good shit is going to come into play!

Philadelphia Aerial View

Philly

Welp, we have made it in our first leg! We have a pretty tight connection—so I’m making the best of the internet while I have it!

I snapped some pics for you all!

Norway Bound

The day has arrived, my friends. We are on the train headed to MIA. Next stop after MIA, Philly, then from Philly—London. After London, we will be arriving in Oslo tomorrow morning!

I’m not quite sure how much internet coverage I’ll be getting on the flights, so I want to keep you all as updated as possible with pics and shenanigans!

ORDER | Why I Love Black Metal

This is Stig and Billy—the bassist and lead singer of the band ORDER. If you’re not familiar with this band, then you seriously need to be acquainted.

ORDER was founded by Kjetil Manheim—the founding member of the controversial band Mayhem. Kjetil is also my friend who I have really come to adore over these months. I don’t talk a lot about Mayhem with Kjetil because it’s the past. The past is dead, and I have no reason to bring it up. Stig (left) is arguably one of the funnie...

Virtue Signalers and the Cancel Culture Idiocy | Ode to Felix Velvet

Well, it finally happened.

The virtue signaling "animal-right's activists" made it onto my page. Two cow hearts, five cow kidneys, chicken livers, and some stomach later...the octopus was the one that officially broke the proverbial straw. Sigh, ya know, I truly am ashamed that Americans nowadays would rather jump in their feelings so fast than break down a situation by logic.

Still, that sentence within itself SHOULD not even be an issue. As you all know, I respect everyone and...

Cephalopod BTS

Admittedly, I wanted to keep this child forever. There is something so beautiful about bonding with another corpse.

I had a conversation yesterday with my tatto artist about evolving. The world is obsessed with gender, but what if we had the choice to evolve into something greater than our humanity? What if we were given the choice to evolve into a creature that is beyond all human recognition?

I want that; I crave that; and I feel more at home with the putrid carcass that dangl...

Cephalopod | Final Edits

These are so unholy. I decided to go with a darker look for the simple fact that it makes it even more ghastly. I applied an HDR filter on top of the natural image, allowing for the detail to pop out of the octopus.

I have to say, the sclera contacts really make the sfx look a million times better!

Cephalopod | Raw Edits

Y’all.

Y’all.

Y’all…

I think I have a new favorite series. I’m absolutely in love with all of these shots. These are raw and unedited. Jim had the luxury of sitting on the toilet and taking these for me. And, it goes without saying, that is indeed, a dead octopus.

Cephalopod

Shhhhh….

My friends….I think it’s happening. ♥️

Mehron Scar Wax Refresher

A quick refresher on how to work with scar wax! Scar wax is not evil; yeah, it can be a challenge at first, but SFX is supposed to be fun—not stressful!

Enjoy!

“Picture Perfect” pre-edits

I’ll be uploading the tutorial here in awhile, but damn. I don’t think I could replicate this if I tried lol!

Well, Shit

And how was your morning?

A Strange Flow

This cycle is quite peculiar. I have expelled old, brown blood for a couple days now. It was until today that I finally induced an actual flow.

This cycle is very strange indeed. Times are very strange indeed.

I feel a sudden sense of excitement, yet I am afraid. Have you ever been on the verge of something grand, but there’s the sense of impending doom that follows? I’m not quite sure if this is a defining moment in terms of a career, or if this is simply my tendency to self-...

The War on Dark Art | Why It’s More Than Shadowbanning

This...war against dark artistry has become the bane of my fucking existence. Truly, with the sexual objectification of women, minors, and plain smut--why is Instagram and Facebook pledging full devotion towards trying to exterminate us?

Well, I've discovered some things along the way as of late, and frankly, it's all starting to make sense. I was shadowbanned a couple month back for a slew of fuckery. Mind you, I had zero posts removed, nor did violate any community standards. I was si...

It Smells Like Iron | What Does Blood Feel Like?

It’s light, airy, and depending on the cycle can be extremely variable in scent.

One of the things that never gets old to me is allowing each pore to become submerged in my blood. One of the many things that I reiterate is that blood is sacred, therefore, maintaining your supply and ensuring you have enough is key. When I use my blood, I never use very much. Blood is not something that I take lightly as you all know, and when I use it in each photoshoot, I cherish it, taste it, and w...

Social Links

It’s been a minute since we’ve updated the family.

So…drop your IG, Facebook, Twitter, etc. links in the comments so we can build this beautiful, little family! Also, I want to follow you and build my relationship with you all! ♥️

“Starvation” Final Edits

With y’all’s help, I decided to blend both dark and light. What a fun fucking photoshoot. Let’s get ready to gross motherfuckers out haha. Also, do you think anyone will believe thats a tarantula? 

Starvation

In which direction should I go? Darker or lighter?

Top 3 Plastic Wrap Tips | Take it VERY Seriously

PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT WITHOUT EXERCISING EXTREME CAUTION.

Ah, the age-old trick of wrapping saran wrap around your head denoting suffocation. This is a very popular style that a plethora of horror artists use nowadays. As much as I try and refrain from going back to previous looks--this one is a look that I thoroughly enjoy for a multitude of reasons.

With this task can also yield some pretty dangerous side effects. What I mean by that is, putting any plastic wrap around your fa...

Starvation BTS

I was really disappointed that I spent almost $20 on this spider. I mean, it could have still been in tact. Oh well. I’ll also note that it was quite delicious—the parts that I did eat!
