My set goes up for MR on July 15th! That's just 4 more weeks, so I hope you'll all remember and give me a little love when you see the set. I'm super excited :3
Anyways, since I get asked quite a bit what 'sicknessandsleep' and 'palette' mean to me, I thought I'd tell everyone in a blog.
I've used sicknessandsleep for my online name for a few years now... since 2009ish, I think. It was shortly after I graduated high school and "scene" names became uncool haha. So it began with tumblr, and then I made it my name on twitter (which I don't use anymore) and now Instagram (where I am most active), and Vine too. "Sickness and Sleep" is a phrase from a Bright Eyes song called "Padraic My Prince"; it's an incredibly sad yet beautiful song that I still love to this day.
"Sickness and sleep turning me cold
And I'm still not sure
Is there some better place I could be heading towards?
Where the selfishly sick and self absorbed; are welcome"
Full lyrics here.
As far as Palette goes, this was one of the first names I considered when I decided I wanted to pursue becoming a Suicide Girl. I went through a lot of options and asked a lot of friends, and it always seemed to go back to Palette. For a few months I was strongly going to use Lush, but eventually decided against it. Palette, spelled this way, refers to a painting palette or a set of colors. I'm an artist, and have been practicing since I was young. It's still a passion of mine and I hope to sell a lot more pieces in the future. Palette (spelled Pallet) is also the first town in Pokemon XD My inner nerd girl could not give up the opportunity to subtly allude to Pokemon...
So there's a little explanation on my names!
