About Me

I'm a foppish little dilettante. I like to draw & paint pretty things in frock coats and lace and heels and makeup. I love dandyism; gothic, steampunk, rococo, carnival, and fairytale style; crossdressing; history; and anything science fiction and fantasy.

my art (fantasy, costume, historical, gothic, and nearly always genderbending) is at my site secreta. i'm also on deviantART. you can also follow my sketchblog or my twitter.
