I am open & available for freelance Graphic Design work for self-owned or small businesses. I can do custom business cards and other print materials, social media graphics and advertisements, photo editing, and light logo and web design. I could also come do photography for your ad, if it's local. I believe my prices are affordable, and you can check out some of my portfolio at http://lotuscircus.weebly.com/
Thanks! Tell a friend.

Presenting a photo gallery of The Junkyard Market, captured in 2020 for the original The Sideshow magazine, which sadly never saw the light of day. While I'm busy creating more poetry and art, I'm excited to share this leftover content with you. In the absence of my 'crazy ramblings,' I hope you enjoy this visual journey.

The Sideshow Kickstarter may currently be stalled at “The Edge of Seventeen” (or 17%, for those who aren’t as obsessed with the lovely & talented Ms. Nicks as I am) 😉... but we promise the train has not stopped. We will find a new path forward around this obstacle in the tracks. The show will (nay, must!) go on. We hope you’ll stay along for the ride.

In a shocking twist right at the outset, “hammock house” has nothing to do with the things you string up and lie on. But it was still a resting place for some...

Hammock House sits in Beaufort, North Carolina, and was built in the early 18th century. They say that the blood form a duel fought there over two centuries ago still stains the stairs.

For this particular point on the Sideshow’s ghost walk, permit us to ponder the plain pathos of a parent placed in a painful predicament involving...pickling.

In the Old Burying Grounds in Beaufort, NC, there's a simple wooden plaque marking a grave that reads Little Girl Buried in a Keg of Rum. Some say the ghost of this girl can still be seen wandering through the graveyard.
