I found a list of "unusual color names" on Tumblr a million years ago & I've started doing an illustration for each one, just for fun. Here's what I've done so far

I didn't trim my roses back this winter & now they have so many blooms they are shading out the peonies & the garden is in complete chaos 😅

Ditch Audible, friends. Amazon doesn't need more money. Use Libby (supports public libraries) or Libro FM (supports indie bookstores) instead.
Hate this a lot. Value human creators, writers, artists, narrators, editors -- everyone in the chain of making a book and putting it out into the world should be a human being. Humans make art for humans.

P.S. fuck AI -- eat shit, artbarf robots

Proposal: When discussing automation, replace the notional always-on, maintenance-free robot helper you're imagining with the average real-world printer you've encountered.

The more expensive and complex the printer, the more potential issues and "having a printer guy".

A much better baseline.

I've been working on some flowers to expand my note cards available for wholesale, since I might not be able to order washi tape ever again.

He looks cute but woke me up at 6am knocking a houseplant off a shelf & then puking up the leaf he'd nibbled off it. Happy Monday!

A peek at a cute book coming out later this year.

I've struggled with hating how I draw birds for a long time, but I think I finally figured it out: make them round!

Finally making some progress on some new washi tape designs
