Excellence and batshittery, done on purpose.
I’m Lazarus. I make art, music, poems, plays, and magic for the quiet, brilliant, broken ones. If that is you, welcome home. I adopt your kind.

Not only have I painted her and Emerson a variation of Judith Beheading Holofernes by Artemisia Gentileschi as a Valentine’s Day gift, but I DMed Electrical Audio, the studio where her and Eight’s tragic hero, Jason Molina, recorded their album Magnolia Electric Co before the late, great Steve Albini passed away, as well and asked if they wanted to work with us to promote the studio in some way.
She’s gonna be in for SEVERAL treats 😈

I painted this baby today, he is a juvenile rescue red tailed hawk I saw on our Facebook that people were going nuts over. His name is Chuck:
I also finished the painting I started last night of our headmate Australis:
Yeah, I know he looks like Hozier. Don’t @ me, he’s supposed to look like Hozier, I used a photo of Hozier as a reference among other things because that’s who Australis most closely resembles, lol.
Emerson and I also went to the Milwaukee art museum and saw a bunch of cool shit, like a massive painting that looked like it had busted free and was dancing around half the room called Carousel Merge II.
There was another piece that made me feel judged but I can’t remember exactly what it was called, something something Anxious Audience, and it was made with ceramic tiles and soap of all things.
Cool shit, indeed.
I saw this ad on Facebook for a midsummer festival up in Sheboygan and threw our hat in the ring to go play there, as well. So we’ll see how that goes…
Well, I’m gonna attempt sleep now. I’m fuckin beat. I did way too fucking much today.
Goodnight fuckers.

I was inspired to do this by listening to the podcast I Like Your Work, and I listened to the latest episode while making a banner that is unfortunately not shown here.
If you want a banner, feel free to reach out to me on socials and we can set something up!

I was very lonely during the winter of 2019 and wrote this script. I am a better writer now, so I might revise and/or expand it in time, but for now, here it is. Please let me know what you think. -Allēna
