Potion Master Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Amazing images from our guest artist of the month, Shannon Stamey! Shannon says of himself: "Self-taught, traditional illustrator from rural North Carolina. Inspired, in large part, by the Golden Age greats, film, blustery mornings, late nights and my record collection." The following are available as 11x14 prints! Baby Boo, Ebil-ish, Elume, Espiritual, Mangelwurzel, Mommy's Little Monster, Moondust Cocoa, Soul Food, Z-Day. 11"x14" prints start at $50. Anyone interested in prints can contact Shannon on Facebook or on Instagram under "October Illustrations". I encourage you all to go have a look. He has many amazing pieces to peruse, and some fabulous comic book /superhero artwork too. Not to mention, he's adorable, a work of art himself, so go ogle.

Potion Master Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 There are several attempts at humor with the titles, but I bet you can figure them out. Any guesses what's in these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggers Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Gravenstein… earth and apples! I think I need this guy to come paint the Baby Boo label on a wall in my house. I just love that label!

Eastwood22 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 mangelwurzel (plural mangelwurzels) A root vegetable, variety of Beta vulgaris, cultivated chiefly as cattle feed. Hmmmmm. A beet, grown for feeding cattle? My guess on this one is pumpkin and caramel corn. (Beet sugar on that corn.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenappletart Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) All of these are great, but I especially love the art for Espiritual (great pun, btw), Rain Flower, Ebil-ish, Elume, and Moondust Cocoa. And, since I love apple, I am really excited to find out the notes for Gravenstein. ETA: And, while it's not in all of them, I like the recurring moon theme.

Eastwood22 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I know we're not playing the game, but I was so awfully wrong last time I wanted to see if I can get any closer this time. My guesses- Espiritual - lily, white musk, black currant, raspberry, amber Mangelwurzel - pumpkin, brown sugar, butter, caramel corn/popcorn, patchouli Rain Flower - alyssum, geranium, chrysanthemum, aloe, teakwood, musk, ylang ylang, water accord EBIL-ish! - sexy, spicy vanilla, obviously Gravenstein - apple, earth, oud, tobacco, woods, spice Elume - vanilla, orchid, honey, amber, myrrh, sandalwood Baby Boo - vanilla, berries, fig, maple, cream, sugar, lemon Z-Day! - pumpkin, caramelized sugar, butter, nuts, maple, resins, patchouli Mommy's Little Monster - apple, cream, nuts, oats, butter, dark sugars, lemon, lavender, cinnamon Moondust Cocoa - cocoa, brown sugar, musk, nuts, cream, espresso, amber Unbeleafable - dry leaves, oud, woods, earth, resins, musk, pecan, smoke Soul Food - I dunno but I bet it's good. Unless it's oats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayla Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 The labels are beautiful! I can't wait to try EBIL-ish and Moondust Cocoa. Looking forward to seeing the notes! Are some of them pheroed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eve Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) Okay, I’m back. Last night I was knackered. (East coaster here) More guesses at the notes: Mommy’s Little Monster: Labdanum Milk Vanilla chai Gravenstein: Hard apple cider stout smoke oak Moondust Cocoa: cocoa powdered sugar amaretto A dollop of cream ...This is actually what I’d like to drink haha...more later, I’m going to mull over them while I try to convince the dog to eat so he can get his insulin. Mornings = no fun around here. Edited September 28, 2018 by Eve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eve Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 PS. Maybe the Moondust Cocoa should have regular granulated sugar instead of powdered. I know powdered is “dusty”, but in my mind the granulated is more like crystals more sparkly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlust Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Stamey is amazing! I have the great honour of considering him a friend and am fortunate to have several of his prints. Not only is he incredibly talented, he's crazy funny and very intelligent. My husband, who is in publishing, has the piece Mara chose for Mommy's Little Monster hanging in his office. The prints are gorgeous. His paintings are exquisite. Having an olfactory representation of his artwork is going to be such a gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rain_dancer Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Soul Food rebrew Woot!!! I can't wait to get my hands on some Ebil-ish, it will be my first time. If these don't exist then they really should: Espiritual - lily, white musk, black currant, raspberry, amber Rain Flower - alyssum, geranium, chrysanthemum, aloe, teakwood, musk, ylang ylang, water accord Gravenstein - apple, earth, oud, tobacco, woods, spice Elume - vanilla, orchid, honey, amber, myrrh, sandalwood (although I would adore something similar without sandalwood because my skin amps it like you can't believe - a good 24 hours and all I can smell is sandalwood with most LP's) The labels absolutely do not disappoint!

Crash Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I am so stupidly excited for these scents, it's ridiculous. I can't wait to try them all! I am SO curious about Ebilish after all I've heard about the last batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicki Lee Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I was up late bumping around in the forum archives of past versions of Ebil-ish and finding out it's vanilla/spice based and I deff will be sampling that along with Moondust Cocoa... After you dropped that Occo: coco cocoa I've been a Cocoa whore ever sense Now my OCCO has a potential partner in crime. I thought I was going to have to settle for Caramel musk or English toffee from the sugared collection. But those two will be on the back burner... For now.

oceanjewel Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 So far these are on my "to buy" list especially if Eastwood is right about the notes Moondust Cocoa EBIL-ish Gravenstein Unbeleafable Elume Z-Day (Don't know why, but I love the little kid on this one. There's just something sweetly innocent about it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
