The New Witchery Logo I Designed
Ta Da! Here is The Witchery’s brand new logo that I designed for them:
This job was a really, really fun project! The folks at The Witchery are not only wonderful but they are absolutely professional which makes them a dream to work with.
Keep checking back because The Witchery poster has been printed and will be available at The Witchery (located in the heart of Galveston Island’s historic downtown in Texas) as well as on my website, Etsy and eBay online stores.
I finally unpacked the last of the boxes that came from my parents house, and last night/early this morning I finally cleaned my studio. This was the very last thing I needed to do before I could put my mind back to work on the Tarot Deck and my book.
I ended up taking about a week to clean the entire house, but it was more like an exorcism than Spring/Summer cleaning. The last time I was working in my studio was the night of April 12th, the day before we left here to take my mom to the doctor. I haven’t been at my desk since then.
In the top photo there is a small box sitting on a small table. Those are my Dad’s cremains. I just purchased a 1920s pair of Funeral Urns for both parents. So right now, we are just waiting for my Mom’s cremains to show up any day now (from MedCure, the place where she had donated her body to science).
Tonight I will be making a hot cup of tea and will get back to my desk, I need to look at what I was working on and then get back on it.
While traveling all over Washington State these last few weeks, this is probably one of the loneliest roads we were on. This was on the way to Wilson Creek, Washington - population was 227 at the 2000 census.
The second photo is of a sturdy graveyard vault with two rather ornate Victorian era tombstones embedded on the side of it.
Website has been updated.
Just cleaned off all the SOLD stuff, made a Framed Curio Archive and am getting prepared to put more items up on the website - probably within a month or so.
There won’t be any Framed Curios this year, only dolls - 5 Foetal Skull Mourning Dolls, 3 Plague Doctor Dolls and 2 Raven Death Mourning Dolls. 10 dolls total, they should be ready sometime around October or November. I will keep you updated.
I still have a few more loose ends to tie up regarding my mother’s estate, then I will get back to working on the Tarot Deck and my book. The amazing thing about working at my desk is it is to me, the equivalent to taking a tranquilizer. It it like a psychic balm that immediately smooths away any rough edges.
The Witchery Poster is currently at the printer and should be ready next week!
“Treasure Trader” with Billy Jamieson to air on the History Channel
This is the TV show that I was working on with Billy Jamieson and Jessica Lindsay Phillips. My job was finding collectibles for Billy’s collection as well as doing extensive research. I met Billy in 1998 and began working as one of his main researchers in 2003 until his untimely death last year.
“Treasure Trader” airs June 28th on the History Channel.

“Modern day treasure hunter Billy Jamieson travels the world searching for valuable ancient relics, macabre artifacts and disturbing curiosities. There’s nobody else like him. Part P.T. Barnum, part Indiana Jones, part Mick and Keith, Billy’s the best there is at sniffing out rare, fascinating treasures…and then making a deal to buy them.”
