Nick and I hunted ghosts at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO this weekend with THE Ghost Hunters from the SyFy channel… It was as cool at is sounds. Unless it sounds like we are ghost nerds, in which case you can suck it.

Natasha

Bat for Lashes sound pours into me and out through my art. I love this band.  And if you have seen Natasha Khan you know  she loves feather hair things as much as I do. As a thank you to the band for continually inspiring my art I gave some hand made feather hair things to Natasha, Charlotte and Sarah. I gave a small bull skull drawing on wood to Ben. These were all wrapped up in an old cigar box with a silk bow. Before the show I gave the pressie filled box to their band manager. Half way into the event Natsha dedicated the song “Trophy” to me and thanked me for the gifts. Kinda thought I was going to throw up. It was a surreal  night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1wnOUH2jk8
