Misty night

Misty night, oh what a sight
My eyes sharpen like daggers
Piercing
Through the fog like on an open road
But through the shadow, trees and shrubs below
Growing
Under my step, soft, cold and tame
The moss seeps out the rain
Smelling
The black bark, wooden giants
Stand tall, slender, silent
Defiant
Rain trickles down a lonely stone
Cold, wet, forever alone
I sit
Wait
I want to be alone, not lonesome
But with you
Alone

spell.

night.

late night

bright, sad misty light, seeping in, that impending feeling
Lost in thought. fear, isolation, lack of control
A lighthearted smile that once was, engulfed. the dark silhouette of walls, dark, bright light, wait, night

Sirene

A mermaid found a swimming lad
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.

Thank you all for understanding, and again I am sorry for any inconvenience.

Tonight's shoot with my good friend Millie.

I made this headress a little while ago, and never got to taking any pictures of it.

 I knew Millie wouldbe perfect for it, and she blew me away.

Triangles for life, death and reincarnation, inspired by Native culture and philosophy.

I have wanted to do a shoot in this style for so long now, to celebrate my Canadian ancestors, as well as art, crafts and culture through photography.

Enjoy.

 

 

 

  

Ladies

So I recently did my first more or less real shoot as the photographer.
I studied photography in Cegep a few years back, but basically dropped out to tattoo full time, it just wasn't very stimulating.
Nevertheless, my passion for photography still maintained its importance in my life, and even more so in the past few months. Last year I bought my first professional camera, a Canon Rebel T3, mostly for my tattoo work, travels and some here and there photos of my face.
I constantly browse through blogs looking for inspirational photos, ideas, themes, and have been feeling pretty inspired. So I rallied up two of my coolest and most gore-geous girlfriends to model for me, none of them have any experience, but they were stoked about getting shot by me, and they did great.

I chose Stef for a more glamourous and pinup styled look, considering her bright red hair, and for Hannah, she inspired me to do something more witchcrafty, and satanic.

They did a great job!!! I am excited to have them model for me again soon.

Enjoy!

''Devil's Whisperin' My Name''

I want you to run with me babe

gonna look for some greener grass

I want you to ride with me babe

Caus I'm full of fears...

and I'm full of pain...

the Devil's whisperin' my name

7 Deadly.

Here are some pics of my latest sleeve. My client was pretty open about the interpretation of these 7 deadly sins, so for me it was alot of fun!

This is my 2nd sleeve...Still trying to find a way for a better composition that suits my style.

Enjoy!!

I have had a pretty tumultuous week in my state of mind. 

A sketch day to take the pain away.

musique.

So I have been trying to write some more music recently after buying a recording mic and studio equipment.
(As a side project, I currently play with the Hobo Outlaws from Montreal; a country / bluegrass band, good friends of mine. As a washboard player, I am the newest addition to the banjo, guitar, fiddle, upright bass foursome. It is certainly alot of fun, and I am stoked to play more shows with them!)

 In the mean time, Im working on some solo tunes, you can find on my Reverb Nation profile:
www.reverbnation.com/hilaryjane

Feel free to check it out! You can also find me on the Facebook band profile: Hilary Jane

Hopefully, next spring I will do some real recordings with my boys Liquorbox from Kingston, ON, that I travelled down with to Tennessee last September. Check them out on Facebook as well!

Cheers!

Blasphème

A little Bach goes a long way....

These are some pictures I took tonight...of myself, again.
Well lets say, living alone with a craving to do photography can't always be super organized with a model on hand. I do enjoy posing, and most of all, in these moments of inspiration, taking pictures and experimenting with editing techniques are what I enjoy the most. Once I get my studio up and running (efficiently and orderly) I will hopefully have some friends to sit in front of the camera this time.

This was a little preview of my latest Halloween costume of a satanic nun. Ive always loved religious imagery, IE rosaries, costumes, artwork, calligraphy...I try to captures those elements in my photography and illustrations, any outlet I get my hands on...

I am going to base my next painting on this and the next shoots to come, for the Black & White art show held at my work. Not sure if Ill use any of these pictures for reference, but Ill do another involving more props, a lamb skulL? YES!

Enjoy!
