What is a MODERN ORPHAN?: sexy, edgy, poetic, sleazy, used, abused and overdosed–loves live shows, late nights and DIY.
Motto: no regrets, only excess.
Mission: to bring back the Byron, poets are once again rockstars–multifaceted and historical.
While Gossip [&] the Devil started as a simple chronicle of my poetic journey, it has now morphed into an entire brand supporting independent art; G[&]D not only provides interviews with today’s most prominent self-made musicians, photographers and designers, it also serves useful to neophyte jetsetters by travel logging useful tips on becoming more road tested, educates you in excess, and reviews the best in new poetry and flash fiction. G[&]D promises to re-ignite a passion for the humanities. A MODERN ORPHAN is one who flamboyantly displays that mission via [modern.orphan.designs.], the merchandise store for Gossip [&] the Devil.
Owned, operated and created by myself, [m.o.d.] items are packaged with lust and anticipating arrival to your heated doorstep. By wearing a [modern.orphan.design] you are saying you support the independent art abandoned by society, are a slave to excess and the exploration of human vices and capability.
Merchandise includes [or soon will include] buttons, t-shirts [for men and women], postcards and necklaces, as well as a few one-of-a-kind modern orphan deconstructions, or, jackets/shirts/pants/dildos/etc torn up, painted and bleached to imperfection.
There was a time when artists were considered the top of the food chain, capturing an entire culture in song or on canvas. Poets were respected for their ability to do what most cannot–carve an emotion from written word. Throughout history many of the first things banned during wars and times of crisis were books and paintings. Censorship in the arts is no secret–and there’s good reason. Because we immortalize and demonize, observe and report; in short we are scribes of the universe, no matter our medium. Now we are left to fend for ourselves in an ever-increasingly jaded society. We are not respected but mocked, not admired but ignored.
Through art we all can be immortal. We haven’t forgotten that–they have.
