Hi, I'm Helvetica — an artist exploring mysticism, mythopoeia, and connections between art and magick in a variety of media.

A nine-panel page of a crown-of-thorns-shaped angel saying 'if you want to make something big, first make something small and something small and something small'. Each panel shows a drop of red liquid slowly filling up the panels until they overflow. Sigils decorate the page throughout, and at the bottom is some Wormrōte script that reads 'make something'. A winged serpent winds around the composition in a vague U shape, covered in sigils, and crowned with a silver halo encircled with the word 'holy' in Wormrōte. The background is patched with collage of hymns, rings, stars, a flower, and the word 'entanglement' in Wormrōte. An album cover for Josaleigh Pollett's 'In The Garden, By The Remixes'. It builds upon the first album cover by making a green tree grow over and out of both intertwined figures. All that can be seen of them now is a hand, held up for introspection. Two starred archways, one yellow inside of one red, overlook a star-like entity perched upon a blue stone spire.

Suffice to say I’m looking for work so if you like what I do and had anything in mind, please hit me up at [email protected]

Well, not only has my day job not paid me in over a calendar month, they’re also expecting me to be the singular employee on staff, both back and front of house, for a full service sit down restaurant that also does online orders. So I might need to quit before lining something else up.

Made a page on my website with instructions on how to disable AI features for a variety of services (mainly the ones I encounter at the moment, will append to the list as I go).

The list so far includes Github, Google Services, Firefox and DuckDuckGo.

Saint 2: helveticablanc.com/20221122-sai...
The Hierophant, clad in black, greets the blue magician with one red skeletal arm over their shoulder. They are flanked by two saints in red, each with a golden crown. The magician's familiar trails behind. A saint with three skeletal arms gestures broadly upon a red background. A red crown floats above their head, and their arms are each black, red, and white.

It's funny: I'm currently single, and have recently begun to consider monogamy again after 15 years of non-monogamy! Must be something in the air. 😂

A red sphinx playfully surrounds and glares at a blue magician who is nervously smiling while sitting on the ground. A magician and their familiar navigate a confusing, black and white jumble of ribbon-like shapes, sigils, and a split face. Shadowy hands can be seen reaching from the dark, one toward the magician. A tilted column stands alone on a rocky pink landscape, with a small star-like entity hovering above. A massive mountain-like being can be seen in the background, underneath an even larger black heptagon in the sky. A red, ribbonlike entity with a diamond-like head and three blue arms looks downward toward a yellow star. Above their head is an infinity sign, and the ribbon of their body carries a sigil.

In other news, I've been enjoying working on small, devotional pieces like this. When I finally start selling originals, patrons get first dibs 🕯️

Frankly, the generosity of my friends has kept me off the streets, and even with that, I live in poverty. It's precarious, but the alternative is another kind of death.

This is not a career for the sane!

Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.

When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"

The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

A large, abstracted figure of a tree with fruit can be seen among large calligraphic marks in green. A hand reaches upward toward the fruit, and some text in Wormrōte is in the bottom right. A magician looks out at steep, mountainous terrain rendered in black and dark blue. It's littered with ruins, and far away the viewer can see two stars and an illuminated archway.
