I did an interview with Romanian artist CM Vaenvs Obscura.You can read the interview over at Teufelskunst: http://teufelskunst.com/2012/10/13/interview-ii-vaenvs-obscura/
I also sent him a drawing for an Artist Collab:
Still waiting for him to finish it….
Preview of the Illustrated Card to go with Pillars Periodical Journal, Issue 1, Vol. 1
Card contains:
Hand-inked Lucifer Seal with characters and evocational formula from the Grimorium Verum and personal Teufelskunst seal. The surrounding illustrations are semi-automatic, born from chaotic lines drawn randomly on paper until figures took shape. I was aiming for a sketchy and relaxed style, something which does not want to be admired but communicates essence and inspiration to fellow practitioners on the Path, passing on overall positive energies. I still traced and erased much in the search for fitting figurative elements and I did not use any references except for a pair of crossed human femur bones.
This is a preview. The entire illustration will come as a card to go with the first issue of Pillars Periodical Journal.

Here is another snippet from the card as well as an obscured preview of the Heqet-Hekate illustration going inside:

Here is my dad, putting final touches to the raised bed he built in the back of our garden
He had the idea to use sandstone boulders left over from the restoration of our house for constructing the border of a raised bed, inspired by cloister garden architecture. He also made sure to include a drainage, preventing the stones from cracking due to moistness and frost (forgott to take a photo of that, but basically just imagine a tube placed diagonal between the stones of the right wall). To the lower right, hidden behind the green forsythia branches, is also my sacrificial stone, on which I burnt incense and placed offerings etc. Now the stone completes the border. On the left side the stones are piled up losely and can become home to lizzards and other lovely creatures. 🙂
It yet has to be decided what to actually plant inside of there – from kitchen herbs to an entire Monkshood bed – I got many ideas. Perhaps I start with Fennel, Lovage, Germander and Santolina…

Time to Dine: one of my skull-candles on the table at Castle Gurteen. Yes, the candle broke during transportation. I made more candles, which did not break but Cyril thought it had character and decided to fix, light and photograph this one instead 😉

My first interview done for Teufelskunst was with Paraguayan artist Samuel Araya. Samuel does artwork for bands and also had his first solo exhibition at the National Museum of Art in Paraguay. Head over to Teufelskunst to read the interview and get an idea about this artist’s work and life: http://teufelskunst.com/art/samuel-araya/
A short introduction to Teufelskunst, which currently takes up all my time and focus. I also keep working on my photography but more about that later…
