Blessed be the Watcher of Thresholds,
whose sight gathers the lost and the living alike.
May her eyes find us, and watch us find our way home.

Serious post time: There isn’t enough of me

There is Shimi the Illustrator, the Musician, the writer of books & zines, poet, publisher, the performer. the Church Artist in Residence, the pagan, the witch the shaman, the wolf pup therian — & the child.

I art 8am til 10pm, give most of it away.

Today at church I met a gay woman who calls herself mamma bear, and she calls me little wolf cub, and I think my life is complete now.

“Prometheus: Coyote Steals Fire” preview. I employ mixed-media processes drawing in Tayasui Sketches then import to Illustrator (migrating to Affinity) for tidy & vectoring. Print to Sharp 703C6 on art-board then scaffuto & fill-in areas in red/black sharpie & black tempera then scan back for repro.

“You only need look into the eyes of God’s creatures to see a soul shining back at you. A soul is in every one of his creatures. We are all God’s creatures.”
He tousled my hair with a big whitewashed hand. “Now, clean up and help me set tables before None—that’s teatime.“

I used to spend about seven hours a day and I’ve been deliberately putting my phone aside leaving it in a drawer whilst reading writing drawing socialising and praying. I spent much of my life on the Internet as a surrogate for real contact. I wish to eventually get down to an hour a day.

Somebody is playing “don’t mine at night” on a plastic piano keyboard in Cal Anderson Park and I’m so happy because it reminded me of this version

I've been asked about tattoo designs aaand... I don't have the opportunity to open tattoo comms right now but maybe I could do some simple graphic style tattoos for sale (multi-slot)? What kind of things would you be interested in? 💛

Elder Wolf at the Table is a love letter to aging, faith, & creaturehood—to the slow holiness of growing softer without losing wildness.
It’s about what happens when we grow old but not tame; when we learn to share the table & stop guarding.
Part reflection, part #therian prayer: a guide to gentler.
