Stop this ride, I’m getting off…

05/29/2024-06/13/24 What a rollercoaster life can be sometimes. But, I am here writing for you all once again now that I’ve had a moment to process all the events of the last few weeks.  Many of you don’t know me personally, nor the Aunt of mine that passed away a week ago. I will notContinue reading “Stop this ride, I’m getting off…”

The Peas in the Pod…

5/22/2024 Tl;dr  We went to two shows, recorded two podcast episodes, and now mama is BIG tired. Also doing lots of art stuff. Nighty night.  What a week it’s been… I am officially exhausted after a very long weekend of shows and (dramatic pause…) FINALLY recording our first two episodes of the Behind the SoundBoardContinue reading “The Peas in the Pod…”

Just Horsin’ Around…

05/15/2024 Well, here I went thinking I’d caught up on blogs and was going to do better about staying on top of things… then I missed another week. I have an excuse, albeit a somewhat bogus one, but it’s a good story I swear!  Shows: 05/03/2024 Twenty Dollar Prophets did Reggae Night at Frogee’s inContinue reading “Just Horsin’ Around…”

Long Time, No See

05/03/2024 Sorry for the silent weeks. I’ve been enjoying the nice weather, doing a ton more plotting for the podcast and got myself a nice respiratory illness. Since we are a small operation that means if I am too sick to write the blog/posts/etc, there’s no one else available to step in and publish itContinue reading “Long Time, No See”

How Doth Your Garden Grow?

04/10/2024  Welcome to another week at blackhat. It’s been slow folks. Lots of benefit and memorial shows these last few weekends. Our hearts broke with our friends over and over these last few weeks/months/years. We’ve lost so many vibrant souls in our local music community since 2019 (and before) it’s hard to really process allContinue reading “How Doth Your Garden Grow?”

A Whole Lotta Nada…

04/04/2024 Hey Cats, kittens, shittens and thittens. From the title of this week’s blog I bet you can guess what we’ve been up to… yup, NOTHING! I guess it wasn’t entirely nothing, I got commissioned for another logo gig, but it was again scored by scrolling facebook and throwing my services out there a coupleContinue reading “A Whole Lotta Nada…”

I am not clever…today…

03/27/2024 Hello frens, and welcome to another edition of the blackhat Buzz. We had a few shows this week and I got to work on some new cover art for Doug Strange. All things considered, it’s been a pretty good week. Rhey Did a show on Friday at Frogee’s with Shawn from Paint the TownContinue reading “I am not clever…today…”

Corned Beef and Carnage

03/17/2024 Good afternoon folks! It’s that day again. I haven’t had much time to devote to some of the regular blackhat stuff recently. I’ve found myself rather preoccupied with goofy art since spending all that time making stores for blackhat, Lost Octopus, and designing a bunch of merch for our MaDu collection. I needed aContinue reading “Corned Beef and Carnage”

Shop Smart, Buy Pigeons…

03/13/2024 Howdy! I know, I know….I said I would be back the next week and then went ahead and skipped the blog anyway. We here at blackhat truly understand how challenging and busy life can be and how difficult mental health struggles can be to manage. I needed a few extra days to meditate onContinue reading “Shop Smart, Buy Pigeons…”

Turning Down the Noise: Finding your artistic voice in the echoes of expression.

02/28/24 Welcome back folks! This week, since we didn’t have any blackhat shows, I have decided to explore a more educational topic. Artistic VOICE! It’s something I’ve struggled with for a long, long time. Sure, I’m an artist, but for the longest time I’ve been under the impression that I was not worthy of beingContinue reading “Turning Down the Noise: Finding your artistic voice in the echoes of expression.”
