Katabasis of Persephone | My First Magazine Publication


~

Hello darlings,

For those who have been following me on other platforms, you will have known by now (because my mouth won't stop moving, nor my fingers) that Cat Trzaskowski and I got into Gothesque Magazine from our collaboration we did in April.


It's funny. Before the shoot we shared a live video talking about our plans for the shoot and hinting at the theme. We planned to reveal it only a month after shooting. It wound up being a much bigger reveal when not only the theme was shared, but the fact that it made it into Gothesque's Gods and Myths issue!


I am so excited for Cat and for myself because this is something I never thought would really ever happen. I don't go the extra mile that a lot of other models and artists do. I am just happy playing dress up and pretend with my friends and other people who like the creative process. Never did I dream to be in a published magazine! Maybe I dreamed it, but I thought it would always remain a dream. Yet, here we are.


I want to thank all of our loyal followers and friends who support the work Cat and I do together. When we work together, not only is it a wonderful creative outlet, but it's an empowering experience. Between this shoot, and Lady of the Lake, By the Sword, and many others Cat and I have done together, it's all about empowering older stories, and divulge hidden aspects. We love breaking the damsel in distress trope that females, especially young ones, are so used to seeing now. It's truly a wonderful thing to be a part of, especially being a literature and mythology nerd. 

I am still awestruck by this whole thing. Firstly, by Cat's amazing talent, and then all of this. I am doing my best to save my squealing for when I see her to celebrate. For now it is very much internal squealing.

To see more of this shoot, visit Cat's Facebook or her Website. I won't be sharing it until all of my Patrons on Patreon see it first!

Anyway, thank you for stopping by.

I'll see you next time.

Sincerely,
Ghost
