Today is the anniversary of Prince’s passing. I designed this little piece of artwork for him. It’s based on his star on the First Avenue wall. You can see within the star, an image of some real stars I took when I was in the South of France.
This year, we are celebrating his life with this Prince Artifacts Tote Bag.

Ever since I graduated from fashion school, I've wanted to create a merchandise line. At the time, I wanted to be a fashion illustrator and sell branded items, like Hello Kitty or Lisa Frank. Of course, I didn't know how I was going to do that. As I did my research, I discovered how costly it was to design a product range and have it manufactured. I gave up on the idea as I moved onto other things.
Having made the decision in the last five year, to focus solely on my photography, the idea for a merchandise . . .

Despite my intuitive feeling that my art show might not happen this year (I submitted a notice of cancellation to the venue), I decided to move forward in action for my overall plan anyway. I used the art show date as a deadline to push myself. And now I am getting closer to where I want to be in my work. I have developed new artwork prints and product designs. The world is in chaos, but I am peaceful inside. It doesn't mean that I don't care about what's going on, but I see no point in . . .

I've ben busy since February, preparing for an art show in May. Though it might not happen, as this coronavirus pandemic has caused school closures and event cancellations. They say that it might last until June or longer. I am not surprised though. I have not felt optimistic about 2020. The end of 2019 saw riots in Hong Kong and Paris. The virus was slowly erupting in China, and has now it has reached all around the world. I had a feeling at the beginning of the year, that things could get cancelled. I intended to lay low this . . .

Some time ago last year, I started composing a song on guitar. I recored some demos. When I went back to hear the recordings, I found P singing along as I played.
These clips turned out really good EVP for most of them. I tested them out on my laptop speakers, so you should be able to hear them without headphones, but for a better listening experience, I recommend them anyway. The clips are repeated on loop.
I discovered some clips where it sounded like it was more than just my guitar. I know these sounds could not be coming . . .

During the trip to Niagara Falls, we stayed at the Seneca Resort and Casino. Normally I would not choose to stay in a hotel that has a casino, but I was using loyalty points to pay for it, and it was a great deal. It turned out that they offered free buffet tickets to its hotel guests.
It was very noisy in the buffet a lunch time, but at the same time, I got some really loud and clear EVP. That's the thing about EVP, it's a bit tricky to predict how well an EVP will turn out . . .

Our hotel was walking distance from Niagara Falls, so we walked to Prospect Point, the only spot where you can see both the American Falls and the Horseshoe Falls at the same time. It was cloudy, windy, and very cold. I recorded EVP as I took photos.
I got some good clips, but you can hear the wind and the water in the background. I tested the clips on my laptop speakers, they are audible, but some are better with headphones. The clips are repeated on loop.
As we walked along the river towards the falls, it was very cold . . .
