Another of my #book Holy Grails. I’d LOVE to find a reasonably priced used copy of this beauty!

A copy of the book “The Forest and the Ecogothic.” It shows a dark forest and trees with twisted roots.

One of my #book Holy Grails. I saw this at a booth at a pagan festival, more years ago than I want to think about, for only a couple bucks. I was intrigued but young and poor. Sadly, it’s VERY expensive now

Book cover “Our Name is Melancholy.” It shows two cloaked figures, one a woman and one a skeleton — the angel of death.

Messy #sketches and #doodles that are under no obligation to ever be used for anything are one of my favorite things 💕

One great thing about living on a little island full of #artists is that nobody is prudish about color!
