I featured the work of inspirational illustrator, designer and artist Alexandria Noël back in July, but wanted to do so again because she's one of my favourite artists and her Etsy store has been stocked with even more beautifully dark, macabre offerings including patches, cards, prints, t-shirts and wrapping paper. It is the perfect one-stop-shop… Continue reading Alexandria Noël
Hermóðr is a band which I have been listening to on a daily basis for quite some time now. The ever prolific Rafn is the solo member behind the Swedish atmospheric black metal project. If you listen to one thing today, make it Frostfödd from his 2014 album Vinter.
