I just finished reading a book called EVP: Scientific Proof! by Alexander MacRae. The author of this book, is a long time EVP researcher, and a former NASA speech scientist. I first learned of him from a documentary about EVP some time ago. In this book, he provides evidence to show that EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) is not an illusion. It is in fact, very real, and it can be proven by the voice print spectrographs by comparing an EVP versus that of just pure static. In the book, he also shows how he tested his volunteer listener subjects. I thought this was very interesting, and I thought I’d make my own version of this kind of test.
If you’d like to test your ability to hear EVP, simply listen to the audio clips below. These clips are repeated on loop 7 times. Then select from the options listed below, what it is that you heard in the clip.
Clip #1
a) What’s your name?
b) Do you want toast?
c) Who’s that girl?
d) Niagara Falls
e) Call me later
Clip #2
a) Dog
b) Nevermind
c) Prince
d) California
e) Book
Clip #3
a) Purple Rain
b) Mom
c) Dance with me
d) Look over there
e) Who’s that?
Clip #4
a) Why you come here
b) Where are you
c) When doves cry
d) Play a song
e) New guitar
Clip #5
a) He’s with that girl
b) Talk to me
c) I’m going home
d) I’m sad
e) Sign of the times
According to the book, some people claim that being told what the clip says in advance, can causes people to hear what is told to them. This premise is false. The fact that one is told what to listen for, only increases the speed of one’s ability to recognize the pattern. Humans are built to recognize patterns, but they cannot recognize a pattern that is not there. One’s hearing may change over time with age, and so not everyone is going to be able to hear EVP. Another factor that can affect listening to EVP is sound quality from the device that is being used. You can improve your chances of hearing it with better quality headphones.
I hope you found this interesting, if not at least entertaining. If you want to check your answers, send them to me by email.
Have you ever wondered where thoughts come from? Have you ever suddenly experienced a horrible thought explode in your mind that was completelyuncharacteristic of you? Perhaps these thoughts were disgusting, embarrassing, or even horrifying, and you start to wonder where those thoughts came from or if something is wrong with your mind?
You may be surprised to learn that throughoutfour years of undergraduate psychology and another four years of graduate school in psychology and counseling the issue of where thoughts come from was never brought up. Considering that all conscious behavior is mediated and triggered by thought, Jerry Marzinsky found this very strange. Finally after two years in a Phd psychology program, and seeing absolutely nothing come up that addressed the issue of where thoughts came from during a lecture one day, he posed the question to the head of the department during a lecture.The professor stood at the podium, stunned as if a martian had fallen out of a spaceship at his feet and stared.He finally responded, “I’ll meet you after class.” when he posed the question to the head of the psychology department during a lecture. When class ended, the professor left in a rush, avoiding Jerry.
I first learned of Jerry on a popular YouTube channel when he was a guest being interviewed. Since then, he has gone on many more interviews to spread the good news, that contrary to mainstream psychology, the voices that plague schizophrenics can be stopped, and these people can be fully recovered and not just endlessly treated with medications.
Jerry was a licensed psychotherapist, now retired, with a career spanning over 35 years.He has worked on the front lines of mental health during his entire career, including state and private psychiatric hospitals, mental health clinics, the psychology department of in state prisons, and spent the last ten years of his career working psych crisis in the emergency rooms of large private hospitals the entire time questioning schizophrenic patients about the voices they heard.After questioning scores of schizophrenic patients he slowlystarted to discover the truth when the voices showed up and told the patients he was working with, “Don’t tell him anything more, he already knows too much.”
In school, he was taught that the voices were hallucinations due to some mysterious chemical imbalance in the patient’s brain that the ant-psychotic drugs dished out by psychiatry somehow brought back into balance. The only problem was, that he never saw a psychiatrist order any kind of lab test or any other kind of test to measure which chemicals were out of balance, or by how much.How what meds to use, or how much, if they had no idea of which chemicals in the brain were out of balance, or by how much.The fact is that they had no idea of which of these mysterious brain chemicals were out of balance, or by how much, and no test existed to measure this mysterious chemical imbalance existed. Jerry concluded that, the chemical imbalance theory was a ploy by big pharma to sell drugs.
As Jerry continued his investigation into what these voices were, and how they operated, his superiors found that the was asking his patients about their voices. On two different occasions, he was ordered by psychiatry, not to ask about what the voices were telling schizophrenic patients, as it not only upset them, but reinforced the idea in the patient’s mind, that they were real. Jerry observed that the voices were very real and often horrifying to the patients.He disregarded psychiatry’s orders, continued asking his patients questions, and tried to remain under psychiatry’s radar.It wasn’t long before he found himself slipping down the proverbial rabbit hole.
Patients continued to reveal what they were hearing. Some felt as if the voicesoriginated within their own mind and belonged to them.They accepted psychiatry’s unfounded theory that their brains were broken.Others knew that the horrible thoughts were not their own, but had no idea what they were or where they came from.Insevere cases, the voices would be physically heard from outside of their head. The voices would often torment patients by saying horriblethings about the patient, and bring up painful memories. Jerry started to notice a pattern with the voices, and concluded that they could not be hallucinations, as these voices were consistently saying the same thing among all these patients housed in different institutions across the U.S.. The voices consistently told his patients to get off their medication, and that the side effects of these drugs was proof that their psychiatrist was poisoning them.This resulted in an attack rate upon psychiatrists at the state hospitals which exceeded that of all other staff, except attendants who were with patients twenty four hours a day.If the patient listened and went off their medications the result wasa psychotic episode, rendering the patient dysdunctional.He also found that the voices consistently told patients to avoid church, and to not read the Bible or any other positive spiritual material.He began to wonder why this would even concern what was supposed to be an unreal hallucination. For some that managed to get themselves to church, the voices would torment them often growing louder and forced them to leave. Jerry also noticed that patients would try to read the Bible, but could not remember anything after reading it. But if they read a passage from a gruesome horror novel,hey could readily recall what they red in great detail. Many patients kept horror novels by their bedside.
One day, a patient who was doing well with regard to getting rid of his voices, came to Jerry’soffice without an appointment, and said that the voices wanted to speak to him. They told Jerry, through the patient, “You have no right to interfere with our way of life”. Jerry started to realize that these voices were much more than a mere hallucination like he was taught in his psychology textbooks.After years of investigation, he has concluded that these voices were from demonic entities, who fed on the negative feelings of their host victims, often depleting them of energy and vitality.
From observing his own personal experiences, he noticed how mentally healthy people were also affected by these negative entities in more subtle ways. One would naturally assume that one’s thoughts always come from one’s own mind, but only until you discover the presence of spirits and their capabilities, do you begin to realize that the source of one’s thoughts might notbe one’s own. It can be a huge relief for one to realize that not everything that passes through one’s mind belongs to them.
I have personally discovered this for myself, from my experiences dealing with the spirit world and capturing EVP. After reviewing countless hours of EVP, I discovered how spirits could seamlessly implant thoughts into my mind without my knowledge. I could hear words in my mind and find it spoken by a spirit on EVP when I went back to review the audio. This was well demonstrated to me, when I found myself laughing to myself, at a joke I heard in my head at a buffet, a mean standing in front of me with a support dog. I heard the words, “Do dogs eat for free?” I found this joke spoken to me on the EVP.
During my early days of dealing with the spirit world, I would often hear in my mind, being told that I was crazy, despite my own confidence that what I was sensing was real. Later, I would discover voices on the EVP trying to tell me that I was crazy. It was a like a Wizard of Oz moment, when the curtain was pulled back, and the truth was found out about who was really behind all this trouble. Though the practice of prayer, I got rid of the negative entities frommy home.
After listening to many of Jerry’s fascinating interviews, I reached out to him, and he agreed to share some more of his stories with us. We have collaborated to release this intriguing story as spoken word audio and in text format. Jerry;s story is cleverly written and contains many tip and information on the subject matter of schizophrenia and negative entities, including how to get rid of them.
(After you read or hear the story, I’d implore you to check out this verse from the Bible, Revelation 16:13. You’ll discover something interesting.)
As I am writing this, I have load of mask orders that just came in. So I am posting this before my head starts to spin from all the sewing, as I will be too busy to write.
Store in my area have re-operned, as Phase 2 was announced. They are taking social distancing and sanitary precautions, of course. But still to be honest, I don’t want to spend very long in the shops. I just want to get what I’m looking for and get out. No excessive browsing.
Although I was already working from home before the pandemic. Having to stay home has left me more focused on getting things done. I used to waste time going out to browse in shop. It was honestly to cure a bit of boredom. Now the only cure for boredom is to be busy by doing something, like housework.
I’ve continued to add more mask styles to my Easy shop. I’ve been hearing feedback from customers that they appreciate the small touches that I add to their orders. I’ve also been told that I have the best fitting masks that they’ve tried. They tell me that my masks are well made and comfortable to wear. Many people have accumulated a number of masks from different suppliers, but they like mine the best. I feel very proud to offer something that people value.
I’ve continued to record EVP, but I don’t have much time to review them. I recorded EVP on the day of P’s birthday last month. I recorded some while I was waiting in the car while we were running errands.
The following clips are quite quiet because they were recorded when I was in the by myself. However, they are still audible, even on my laptop speakers. Though they are better heard on a pair of good headphones. The clips are repeated on loop.
Someone seemed to be chatting to P, They asked him, “When did you die?”. P answered, “2016”.
They asked him about how he died. And then P asked, “How about you?”.
Whoever this person was, answered “COVID-19”. This is the first I have gotten of a spirit saying they died from this. It’s really sad, as this means it was a recent death.
They commented, “Like your t-shirt”. I was wearing a Prince shirt that day. P replied “That’s me”.
They asked, “Are you Prince?”. P said, “Yes”.
I think P might have offered them cookies. “There’s cookies”.
They said, “Thank you”. This clip is quite shocking to me, how loud and clear this clip is. You can tell, it’s not from a living voice. You can hear me in the background typing on my iPad.
Later, that night, I had a little dance party in my bedroom with P. I was playing a live stream of P’s music hosted by PRN Alumni. Somebody commented, “They’re having a dance party“.
It goes without saying that we are living in terrible times. And yet, I am not surprised. As a believer in the Bible, studying Revelations has made me cognoscenti that we are living in the last days before Christ’s return. These trying times must occur as according to prophecy.
After all this time in lockdown and all, cases are still occurring because the spread of the virus continues. It is disturbing, that people in the West refuse to wear masks. Unlike people in Asia, people are intolerant of being told to wear masks. They are defiant of government recommendations. This comes as no surprise to me, as I do not believe that one can just expect the public to simply chose to do things in the interest of others. It is only recently that in my city and other major cities in Canada, that masks are being made mandatory in all public indoor spaces and public transportation.
All this could go on for quite some time. It would be wise to prepare supplies while it is easily available, and just accept the fact that we’re going to have to lay low for an extended periodd of time.
This year, on my birthday, I was really busy working. I was occupied with fulfilling mask orders all day. I did take some time out to do an EVP recording later that day. I used some white noise i the background to help boost the sound.
I did not have time to review the EVP until much later. And it is only now that I have some free time to make a post. Hence, it has been over a month since my birthday.
The sound quality was not bad, I can still hear them on just my lap top speakers. But I find that hearing them with headphones, there is an extra dimension to it that you miss out on without the headphones. The clips are repeated on loop.
P wished me, “Happy Birthday to you… what do you want from me”. Which is funny, because a friend sent me a concert clip of him singing those same words. earlier that day
He wished me “Happy Birthday”, again.
He told me, “Andrea, you’re my… best friend”. This is rather funny to me, because around that time, I had a dream where I was writing in P’s notebook, to tell him a message, but I didn’t want him to watch me as I wrote it. I wrote, “You’re my best friend. I love you”. I don’t remember if this dream was before or after my birthday, but I definitely didn’t find out about this EVP clip until after the dream.
Someone asked to talk to me, “Can I talk to her?”. P gave her permission to speak on EVP to me. I have told P that he is my gatekeeper to the spiritual world. I do not want to be contacted by anyone other than him. I know I may have mediumistic abilities, but I personally choose to keep that door closed.
She said, “Angels protect you”.
And said, “God bless you”.
Someone else commented afterwards, “Prince mom talk to her”. I fell really honoured that his mom wanted to speak to me. What a blessing! I am truly touched by this.
Here is someone saying, “You go and get a cookie”. This clip is so clear! I don’t know who was saying this, or to whom. But I find it so cute.
I recently re-watched Gone With The Wind. I had only seen it when I was a child and did not understand the movie at the time. I didn’t really know what the movie was about other than the most famous scene in the end. This was a movie in Prince’s DVD collection found at Paisley Park. It was recently mentioned a lot in the news about being banned. I wanted to see what it was al about. I found that I really enjoyed the movie. Old movies tend to be slow moving and can get boring very quickly. But this movie held my attention through out. I originally had the impression that the character of Scarlett O”Hara was a very shallow, unremarkable character. But I grew to admire her tenacity. If you overlook the messy love story, you will see that she embodies bravery, independence, intelligence, and strong will. These were not necessarily traits that were valued in women at the time that the story took place, or when the novel was written. Scarlett did not allow herself to become a victim of the times. She took charge and made the most of her circumstances. This movie is really about survival in difficult times. The is a kind of movie that can prepare you for challenging times ahead in the future, by offering a role model.
I feel that we are heading towards even more challenging times, but most people are unprepared. I would urge every person out there to make preparations. A second wave of coronavirus is likely to come. Similar to the Spanish fly, there were people who remained skeptical and refused to wear a mask, they let their guard down in the summer. And when the autumn season came, the virus came back even harder.
Time goes by very quickly when you’re busy, even if you’re stuck at home. The orders for masks keep coming in, and I try to keep up with the pace to get them out as soon as possible. I wonder how long this pandemic will go on for. The feeling I get, is that it will go on longer than we predict it to, due to the general public’s refusal to comply with public health safety guidelines.
I was walking on the street one day, to get to the post office. I was wearing my cloth mask made of cotton. A woman approached me, telling me that I shouldn’t wear a mask while walking outside, because I’d be breathing in may own carbon dioxide. I didn’t know what to say at first, but I replied with, “I’ve already heard about that:. I walked away and she yelled back, “It’s true, you know!”. She was a middle aged woman, she was visibly distressed that I did not take her seriously. I am baffled by the lack of logic people are displaying at this time. If fabric could fully trap gas coming from one’s body, we would not be able to smell each other passing gas. And woman who wear burkas would suffocate under the heat in the Middle East. The fact that some people would spread such illogic, goes to show the level of resistance some have to wearing masks., especially in the West. I have even heard that among the young, it has become like a sort of status symbol to not wear a mask. If we go on like this, it will only get worse. As if over a hundred thousand deaths in America isn’t enough to send a message…
We need to flip this mentality. Make wearing masks a status symbol. Unfortunately, people are very vain, especially in places like NYC. And as terrible as it sounds, we have to appeal to one’s vanity as a form of motivation if we want to get people to comply with wearing masks.
I decided to record EVP while I was at the post office, and as I walked home. I wondered what spirits we might run into, what they might say.
I got some very interesting EVP clips. The sound quality is pretty good considering it is recorded outside. I can hear them without headphones, just on my laptop speakers. They are repeated on loop.
Someone commented, “Beautiful mask”. The above photo is the mask I was wearing. It is my Purple Paisley mask, inspired by P’s paisley adorned clothes in the 80’s.
Someone said, “The latest fashion”.
I pressed the button for the crosswalk lights. Then I sprayed alcohol to sanitize my hands. Someone said, “What you spray”. P said, “Sanitizer“.
Wherever we go, P is often asked about me. He told someone, “I love her”.
Then someone said, “The virus is a hoax”.
P responded, “It is real”. I found this very interesting, that even among spirits, they are discussing conspiracy theories. It goes to show what they really know. This is why I rarely trust the words of mediums, because even if they are genuine, their sources can be wrong. Like any human, a spirit can also be mistaken, misinformed, or lying. People tend to place too much belief in what mediums or channellers claim, without any proof. This is also true with alternative media.
Even though things in the world right now are terrible, I am grateful for everything I have. I am just glad to be able to take short walks to enjoy the flowers blooming in my neighbourhood. I’m thankful that my immediate family is safe and healthy. I am grateful for every meal.
It is good to count all our blessings in times like these.
I’ve been so busy here, filling orders for face masks. The days seem to melt together and I wake up confused about what day it is. One morning, I woke p from a dream where I was in a car, travelling through a tunnel, and there were theses raised sidewalks along the tunnel walls, there were racks of clothes for sale, like a street market, there were signs that said 11-11. When we reached the end of the tunnel, we were in a major city, perhaps New York. I honestly don’t know what this dream could mean, But that morning happened to be on the morning of May 11th.
I try to fill the orders as quickly as I can, because I know that these are people on the other end, waiting desperately for masks. I feel honoured that people choose to buy from me, and that I am able to offer up my skills for a worthwhile cause at this time. The struggle is real though. Most people will have no idea what a task it’s been to acquire supplies during corona lockdown. Trying to purchase fine quality fabrics; Shopping online, I’ll put things in my cart, but by the time I am ready to check out, items will be sold out. Elastics: I’ve attempted to purchase on five different occasions. Items do not arrive as expected, and I am having to keep searching for other suppliers that can deliver faster. I am having to pay for shipping and inflated prices for things that are normally not that highly valued.
I have not had time to review EVP very much lately. But I am still recording. It is only today that I did not have so many orders, that I can make this post. I got some interesting EVP clips while I was outside walking to the mailbox.
These clips are recorded outside, so they are not necessarily the best sound quality. But I have tested them on my laptop speakers and I can hear them without headphones just fine. They are repeated on loop.
Here, someone says, “Quarantine”. I wonder the the spirits are thinking about this pandemic? Especially after so many deaths have occurred in such short time…
Here is P saying “Hello”.
Someone offered P an orange, “Want an orange”. I have heard him being offered an orange before, while we were walking. I wonder if it is the same person?
P accepted, and he said, “Here you go, Prince”.
Someone asked, “How’s it going?”. P replied, “Gotta mail the masks”.
Someone said, “Look, there’s an angel“. I assume it’s one from my group. I have a group of angels that stay with us, and follow us for our protection. Every night I pray to God to give thanks for them.
There hasn’t been much time for me to work on my art photography as of late. But occasionally I do get a shot in here and there, when I see something that catches my eye. I took these photos of the cement moon, one evening while walking to the mailbox. In this one, you can see a bird flying.
Since I last posted, I have been extremely busy. I have been sewing masks and filling orders from around the world. I am taking some time out to write this post while some orders wait for me to return. I did not expect for this level of orders coming in. I’ve been getting some days where it is like 10 to 12 orders, and I cannot keep up. I’ve had some days where I had to stop sewing so that I could source supplies in anticipation of running out.
I timed it one day, to see how long it takes to sew a mask. With the pieces already cut and some pieces pre-assembled, it takes me about 45 minutes, if all the prep work was done. So I estimate that without the prep, it would be more like an hour per mask. There is additional time to package and send out the orders. In a day, I could do 6 make, but ti would be a struggle to do more because I have other things to do, of course! When I am not sewing, I am doing prep. I find myself working from morning to tis night before I go to bed.
A small miracle can make a big differences.
I found that bed linens make the best linings for the masks. They have a high thread count and have a good thickness. I had some pieces cut up from brand new sheets leftover from making a duvet cover and I used them to make linings for my initial batches of masks. They happened to be the perfect color to co-ordinate with the leopard print masks. But that was all I had left. I told my mother that I wished HomeeSense was open, so that I could buy discounted bedsheets. Then something urged me to look for these brand new pillow cases I found in a bag of random things given to us by a family friend last year. Brand new in its packaging. It said that it is 100% cotton. What a lifesaver! It was only because of this that I could continue to make masks! I know the spirits in my house must have been rummaging in the storage room as I searched top and bottom for apiece of cotton lining that I still cannot find.
Price “elasticity”.
I feel that it is my civic duty to participate in providing this service for others. I went to school for fashion design, and it has been a skill that I did not get to make much of a career out of. I feel it would be a waste if I choose to sit back doing nothing, instead of answering the call to make masks. As I have collected personal resources over the years: An industrial sewing machine that I inherited from an aunt who died of cancer. A collection of cotton fabrics stashed away. A personal supply of dressmaking tools and materials. A studio space already set up in my basement. I do not do it for the money, (though it is true, that art sales are less likely in these times, I must pivot), but I am most motivated to answer the call to serve others in this time of great need by offering my God-given talents for this challenging time in society.
Which is why I am so greatly disturbed and disappointed by the behaviours of venders. I bought two rolls of elastic on Amazon two weeks ago, in anticipation that I will need more. After producing almost 40 masks, I am at my last yards of quarter-inch elastic. My order has not yet arrived. I am growing very, as I do not know if this order will ever get here. In my past experience, some sellers have made false listings, so that you would pay them, but they would send you nothing, while you wait thinking that it is coming. Fraud like these are on the rise at these desperate times. I do not have time to waste. These make are waiting for its final touch, which is the elastic.
I decided that I needed a contingency plan. Instead of just waiting, I would try to source something more local, at least within Canada, so that the delivery time would be shorter, possibly arriving next week. I saw this ridiculous posting from Amazon. I think it is gone now, as I cannot find the listing. But still… the thought alone is revolting that anyone should attempt to sell a single roll elastic at $1,457.27.
I thought, I will not deal with another third-party seller on Amazon, at least not for elastic, as I suspect that that they are all shipping from China and that will take ages to get here. Trying on Etsy, I find a seller, whose price is 3 times its worth wss before corona, but it is still at a feasible price to use, and they are shipping from a province away. $120 for 150 yards with are shipping. I’d heard through the grapevine that wholesalers were selling rolls at $80 right before everything shut down. Still an inflated price. After I placed the order, I cheekily messaged her, “Thanks for not totally gouging the price”. I saw that others have asked for more. A few hours later I looked at her listing again, and she has ramped it up to $165. I feel sickened by this. She is also a mask maker. Two days later, I ams still bothered by this and it hasn’t shipped yet. I tell her that I saw her gouging and I don’t want to deal with her. I send her a screenshot of her inflated price. I ask for a refund. She refunds me immediately, no questions asked.
Everyone wants a piece of the pie.
An online retailer has approached me for “collaboration”. She tells me that she can see a market for “stylish masks” like nine. I asked to know what price she expects to sell the mask for. She answers, $10 USD. I was selling mine for $14. I tell her that it’s an impossible price to work with, due to the scarcity of materials, lack of available labour, and shipping expenses all mounting up. I asked her how does she expect to make a profit, as she would obviously want a higher profit margin for herself within the price point. I do not need a middle man to sell my wares, so that I can work more to receive less. I tell her that I do not have the time to deal with her.
People are seeing the pie that the makers are producing with their hard graft and creativity, and they want a piece of the pie without having to do the handwork involved. Whether it is to profit by gouging on supplies, or low balling the work of labourers. It is insulting to those who are doing the work.
I have no more elastic for orders right now as we speak. But I refuse to quit. I could choose to just stop taking orders and wait for the elastic, but time is of the essence. People need make. Even when things re-open again, they will ned masks. I am working around the clock to produce them and ship them out as soon as I can.
Even in such ugly times, there is still beauty to be found.
I have always been obsessed with Liberty print fabric. I feel that they are truly the best, especially the classic Tana Lawn collection. Butt they are expensive. When I was in my mid-twnties living in England. I would venture out from Brighton on day trips to London. I could barely afford anything in Liberty. But there was this hidden treasure trove bin of fabric remnants sold at reduced prices. A quarter yard of a rose floral print, a little piece of a paisley print. I would buy whatever I could get my hands on. I made hair accessories for myself. Over the years, I have saved up these fabrics, as my personal collection, imagining what I would make with them.
I have offered some of these fabrics for making masks. Some are actually my favourite of them all, but I feel that it is a worthy sacrifice to use them to create masks that people will love to wear. My greatest motivation for creating masks is that I want to take something that people dread wearing, and turn it into something of beauty, something that they could enjoy, or at least make it a little more bearable. I feel like a bad ass rock ‘n roller when I wear my leopard print one.This is where I think high fashion can serve a beneficial and worthy role in society. No longer a frivolous whim of desire, but a life saving necessity for now and the future.
When I package an order, I wrap it up as if it were a gift. I want the customer to feel that they have received something special. Especially in times like these. Small joys like these can make a world of difference. Beauty is the saving grace that makes life somewhat more bearable in times like these, something worth living for. When I am making these masks and styling them for photo shoots, I do not think of them like just a piece of utility. I feel like I am designing movie costumes. For these unprecedented times, wearing masks in public will likely become a necessary norm. I am creating masks to go with fashion. I am inspired by movies like Painted Veil, and Love in the Time of Cholerra, both movies taking place at the turn of the century during cholera outbreaks. I feel like life has become like a movie set. What the world has become, It does not feel real. I am imagining a historian sic-fi drama.
And you can call it vanity, but I know that there will always be people who still crave fashion even in the worst of times. Like a school girl customizing her school uniform, people will want masks to express their individuality. A love for, an appreciation for, a touch of beauty is what helps some of us get through these difficult times.
I imagine Who some of my customers are. Maybe they are a nurse needing a mask for when she’s off-due. Or a hairdresser or a make up artist preparing for when he goes back to work. Or a mom who needs a mask for when she goes to pick up groceries from the store.
I heard from one of my customers who received her masks. She told me that they fit perfectly, and that she will enjoy wearing these masks. That alone gives me great satisfaction.
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.
