For all you Jim Woodring fans out there. A select few initiates will recognize this ancient cryptic symbol. Spotted in Tacoma near my hood.

As a child, I was obsessed with the book Faeries by Brian Froud & Alan Lee. My mom wouldn't buy the book for me (the book just came out & I was 6 years old). Every time we would visit the local bookstore, I'd run to grab the book & read it. I loved the leprechaun hats!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

From Conversations with Maurice, edited by Peter C. Kunze. This is a conversation between Dr. Seuss and Sendak in 1979. Still relevant in 2025.

"Start not Irish born man
If you're to Ireland true
We heed not race
Nor creed nor clan
We've hearts
And hands for you."

Words we can all live by, no matter where you are.

I always feel like I leave a little bit of myself on this green island when I leave.

I love this quote from Lisa Schneidau from Hellebore #12, the Storytelling Issue.

"We rewild our stories by colouring the rich detail of the non-human as well the human. Through doing this, we bring nature back into the room with us."

Here's a screenshot from Bluey while watching the show with my daughter. She is obsessed with finding these wierd tweening glitches.

Organizing and cleaning out my studio and coming across old unfinished ideas I've created. I'm not sure where I was going with this but I like it!

Last Saturday I was in a workshop put on by @scbwiwwa where we created oracle cards to inspire creativity.

In creating my cards, I took inspiration from children's flash cards with limited color palettes (highlighters in my case) and personal images that resonated with me.

Picked up a vintage The Nonexistent Knight and The Clover Viscount by Italo Calvino with a gorgeous cover by Anne Bascove today. Look at that handlettering!
