@silvixen.bsky.social it arrived!

I knew a real ocelot for quite some time, up until he passed away last year, in his mid-twenties

For as long as I knew him he was a huge inspiration on my songwriting.
So there was only one place this pin could go

Thank you so much! 🐈 🐆 🐾❤️
Close up on the ocelot pin attached to a guitar strap. Pin on the guitar strap, with the instrument visible The instrument rests against a bed which turns the pin upside-down Another angle on the guitar, with the pin right-side up this time

Finished making the front and back cover and... you know what? Just have a look :)
All paw-made with some creative photography :3

And yes that means you get to see the tracklist
Front cover for Empire of Affliction featuring a... difficult-to-describe abstract design Both images also feature the album title and Vertigo Fox name in fonts that I thought looked interesting but might just be needlessly edgy :) Back cover for Empire of Affliction, featuring a similar difficult-to-describe abstract design, and the following tracklist: Moonlight Thermal Hollowed Halls Bloodied Current Fission Gleam Bitter Wing Hard Earth Barren Light Redshift Pulse Dreaming Crevasse Dark Green Sunkiller Waylay Space Both images also feature the album title and Vertigo Fox name in fonts that I thought looked interesting but might just be needlessly edgy :)

They've really cut back on the polygons since the last time I was here

...when I was in Prague for a couple weeks in 2018, the place where I stayed was just down the line from this station :D

Since I decided to take a lot of my music off soundcloud, I've also decided to release a few compilation albums that'll keep at least the best bits of it alive.

And the first volume is out on bandcamp today!

Cover art for Volume 1 of the compilation, created through photomanipulation, and featuring various shadowy animal shapes.

Clouded leopard with a big grin prowling off into some realm unknown?

I've reworked and extended this little not-poem into a full doom metal song.

And it's now ready for listening!

On soundcloud:
soundcloud.com/snowfoxden/d...

Full lyrics are in the alt text of the image below, and also in the description on the soundcloud page.
If questioned Do not answer The Wolfmother (even in your mind) Light falling from wild eyes to loose the night's control (its fears you can find) Do not pray to The Wolfmother or ask her to vanquish any of your foes Set aflame in her -- in its -- eyeshine Do not deny The Wolfmother her vengeance And do not deny that huntress your soul Face away from The Wolfmother, and lie still That your shattered bones may yet yield some secret of old Find yourself reborn a warrior of its worldform Hooves and fangs, tail, spike, and blood appetite These new eyes reflect bright in her darkened den like stars The Wolfmother, Nightmare's Shine, lifting you to fly Lifting you to rend and rip (to shred and to defy) For all her creatures denied existence (with their fears you align) Do not pray to the Lynxmother you'll find only a thousand more battles you must win In form that can't perceive what it truly is (do not fear the wolverine star) Do not deny The Wolfmother her vengeance And do not deny the Echidna your soul Fossil bones of The Wolfmother's foes that reveal lands of old Do not deny The Wolfmother her vengeance And do not deny this hunter your soul Face away from The Lynxmother, and lie still That your broken remains may yet yield some secret of old Do not fear The Wolfmother Do not anger The Wolverine Star This land will learn to not defy The Wolfmother --image shows dark abstract song art that was created by photomanipulation, with the words "lyrics in alt text" overlaid in an old video game font :)

I think I'm not radical enough for this highway

Haven't seen Cece in a while. Hope they put her back on exhibit soon -- we werejust getting to know each other :)
Cece the toucan at assiniboine park zoo earlier this year. They've taken her off exhibit to prepare it for some planned future arrivals and so far she hasn't been given another one.

Well, the differences are a little more pronounced in this pose but still quite the incredible resemblance to my own Colby

Another new noisetoy has arrived!
Maybe not quite as exciting as the Moog but something I've waited a few months for
