Lily Blaze | Visual Artist and Writer

Horror Fantasy Gothic Sci Fi

Category: Commentary

Commentary articles by Lily Blaze. Counter-culture. The life and times of a disabled person. Website woes. Tributes to fallen heroes.

A former goth party girl, Lily Blaze has found herself in a world full of misleading popular culture. And an internet that’s riddled with mixed message’s. She tackles each conflict with care as she works on her creative career. Topics range from discrimination against disabled people to commentaries on fallen heroes. Search for David Bowie or Tom Petty and read her thoughts.

There’s a silver lining with everything. The best part of being a former goth party girl in the 21st century? Suddenly being a nerd is cool.

Whenever Lily discovers something new about website maintenance, she turns to her blog. Commentary articles about running a WordPress site are free of hard to understand jargon. Clear articles that get right to the point for the everyperson.

Determined to continue surviving, Lily’s articles are fresh perspectives. Old problems in need of new conversations. More importantly, a deeper insight into the mind of a dark artist and writer.

There will be sarcasm and Canadian spellings scattered throughout the articles. A dark sense of a humour and an open mind is most compatible with Lily’s commentaries.

The best place to start is search for her article Trees. A commentary about social justice and a simplier way to live. No need to shout. Whisper. Only then will the trees hear you.

Or, read all commentary articles in no particular order. You can use search, tags, categories, whatever. Up to you. Your call.
