Hi, I'm Helvetica — an artist exploring mysticism, mythopoeia, and connections between art and magick in a variety of media.

A nine-panel page of a crown-of-thorns-shaped angel saying 'if you want to make something big, first make something small and something small and something small'. Each panel shows a drop of red liquid slowly filling up the panels until they overflow. Sigils decorate the page throughout, and at the bottom is some Wormrōte script that reads 'make something'. A winged serpent winds around the composition in a vague U shape, covered in sigils, and crowned with a silver halo encircled with the word 'holy' in Wormrōte. The background is patched with collage of hymns, rings, stars, a flower, and the word 'entanglement' in Wormrōte. An album cover for Josaleigh Pollett's 'In The Garden, By The Remixes'. It builds upon the first album cover by making a green tree grow over and out of both intertwined figures. All that can be seen of them now is a hand, held up for introspection. Two starred archways, one yellow inside of one red, overlook a star-like entity perched upon a blue stone spire.

In other news, I've been enjoying working on small, devotional pieces like this. When I finally start selling originals, patrons get first dibs 🕯️

A small, tarot-sized card with a horned, haloed figure pouring liquid from a bowl. The figure is rendered in sepia ink and graphite, and the halo and liquid are rendered in gold paint.

Frankly, the generosity of my friends has kept me off the streets, and even with that, I live in poverty. It's precarious, but the alternative is another kind of death.

This is not a career for the sane!

Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.

When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"

The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

A large, abstracted figure of a tree with fruit can be seen among large calligraphic marks in green. A hand reaches upward toward the fruit, and some text in Wormrōte is in the bottom right. A magician looks out at steep, mountainous terrain rendered in black and dark blue. It's littered with ruins, and far away the viewer can see two stars and an illuminated archway.

A giant, red, ribbon-like entity with three faces reaches down to a small blue magician. Golden stars and sigils float nearby. Four ribbon-like figures are intertwined. A leftmost red one holds a knife in one of three arms, while the center figure appears to be soaking up the red color. Two white ones look on.

JUST RESTOCKED: The Wormsong Oracle & Wormrōte zine
👁️
Wormsong is a completely unique 60-card cartomancy deck - rhythm, symbolism, and arcane wisdom wrapped in Helvetica Blanc's signature minimalist visuals. Wormrōte: A Sigilist's Primer is a constructed language zine - lore, art, and sigil magic
The box of The Wormsong Oracle against a background of trippy neon green, black, and orange paint swirls. The box is black with an embossed, vertically-oriented, geometric symbol in silver metallic ink. The symbol includes text in Wormrōte, Helvetica Blanc's magical writing system A spread from The Wormsong Oracle laid out against a trippy neon green, black, and orange paint swirl background. There are three cards. The Shepherd shows a black ox and a white robed person against a red background. The Teacher of Wings is in yellow and shows three scholars, attentive to their winged teacher, who is gesturing to a star. The Five of Eyes is a circular blue ribbon of eyes floating in front of a sheet music background. Also shown: the card deck comes in a black box with a silver metallic symbol on the cover. The same symbol appears stamped on the back of each card The cover of Wormrōte: A Sigilist's Primer by Helvetica Blanc. Mostly black negative space, with the title in white in the upper lefthand corner and a small cast of lineart characters in the lower righthand corner An example shot of the interior of Wormrōte. The lefthand page is black text on white and is titled Ligatures. It includes a short overview and a large chart of combined symbols. The righthand page is white text on black and is titled Vowels. There is a short explanation as well as an illustration of three robed figures standing upon a large twisted vine to address an even larger worm creature
