The Camera Captures One’s Soul; A Painting, One’s Heart (x 49)
August 1, 2010 by Clint Catalyst · 1 Comment
The talented and obscenely prolific Bethalynne Bajema has rendered my likeness in oil, an act for which
I’m most grateful (& humbled). ☆ While the painting itself is not for sale, a limited edition of
35 signed & numbered reproductions on metallic paper—as well as 13 hand-embellished,
signed & numbered prints on 8″ x 12″ fine art paper—are.
:: the artist’s work ::
Three parts because I blab about myself enough as it is; two parts because today I’m about as sharp as a
plastic spoon—please allow me to present further details via the artist’s own verbiage:
“One of the first portraits I created for my Black Ibis project was for the enigmatic Clint Catalyst. I’ve been so invested in the faded colors and sepia work these past few years I had almost forgotten what it’s like to work in the dark end of color spectrum. It was almost like I was a twenty year old goth again painting the cute lad who I always catch at the coffee shop…
This print will ship well backed flat, in a plastic sleeve to protect it. Please allow three to six weeks for delivery within the US. International orders may take a smidge longer.”
Miss Bajema then goes on to thank me (when it is I who have thanks to extend her direction!), & adds:
“[Clint] will be found among my tarot deck, as well—as the hierophant! You will find a few other print versions of this painting in The Scriptorium Shop under the ‘Black Ibis’ category.”
Moreover, you’ll find a special offer—as well as the name of our winner for the Jillian Lauren: Some Girls
give-away—
beneath the cut…
So. Damn. Deadly. Cute…

Matter of fact, the HMacabre skeleton crew has assembled an on-line boutique
for the erudite enthusiast of shadowed fineries who’s privy to the fact that
one need not spend a million bucks to look like it.
However!
Before my A.D.D.-addled ass has a chance to bifurcate off into scatter-shot territory,
I need to provide the following info —of—

(Go ahead & fling the slab of Velveeta at me over that one—I’ll cop the rationale of Twi-hards in my defense: “I don’t know how it happened! I must’ve been roofied or something, ’cause my taste level—I mean, my defenses—were down. Really: I’m really much cooler than that!” )
Mmmm-hrmmm. Right.
All the same, THIS FINE ITEM

First, I’m stoked to have social media superhero Miss Destructo
as the next ‘Consumer As Spokesmodel’ (despite how admittedly goober the title may be…) :: Keep sending in those glamour shots of you rockin’ product, kids… Whether it’s a book bag or a prize ribbon, I’d love to plaster your face up here for all the w.w.w. to see!
And next, a familiar face on this blog, as of late—
Zoetica Ebb, filling the role of “Check-Me-Out-Bitches; I’m In An Ad!”
Ahhh, YES:
I really love this “bounce-out.” (Is that what they’re called?) Whatever the nomenclature,
Massive thanks to graphics whiz Joanna Carr!
Till Later—

The Consumer As ‘Spokesmodel’…(& I’m Lovin’ It!)

There’s a section on my beast of a MySpazz page where, for quite some time now, I’ve been posting a “Reader of the Week”: images of folks being as somber or silly as they want, so long as they follow two rudimentary guidelines: 1) keep it PG-13, regardless if the subject matter veers toward “X Rated-Adjacent” territory and 2) incorporate one of my published works (Cottonmouth Kisses and/or Pills, Thrills, Chills and Heartache), ancient relics/self-published chapbooks, an anthology in which a story of mine appears…or, in one instance, photographs of me that were published in…
:: Well, You.Get.It ::
Of the seventy-something thus far, I’ve featured a spectrum that spans from bondage bunnies to strategically-placed texts “about a comma short of indecent exposure”; from high drama in high heels to low-and-deliberately-difficult-to-find positioning of the aforementioned. (A Veritable “Where’s Waldo: Catalyzed,”
if you will…)
When the collection hits the 101 mark,
I plan on posting my favorites from the batch as an archive of Greatest Hits.
Until that time, however? I’m really digging on the pictures submitted of peeps sporting their
Jared Gold/Clint Catalyst PRIZE RIBBONS !
The shot above is from the gorgeous
a photographer based here in L.A., though I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting her yet…
However, up next? Someone with whom I have shared hijinx—as well as the bathroom at Fred 62 *(winkage)*—is my favorite Russian Cosmonomad/”Techno Renaissance Internet Goddess Extraordinaire” [Lou O'Bedlam]:

Truth of the matter is:
We don’t all get a hug for our efforts.
What we do ‘get,’ however, is Freedom Of Choice…
(though make no mistake: to not choose is—in itself—a decision).
A choice you’re hereby offered the opportunity?
Who gets an award (yourself, perhaps?), and
For what?
