I do some bookbinding for fun, but haven't done a whole grimoire on my own. ARCANUM BESTIARUM from Three Hands Press covers different magical traditions around animals. They had calligrapher Gail Coppock create a font based on my style, so it's a lovely book.

Visited the Tower of London today and was particularly impressed by The Tower Remembers, an installation by Tom Piper of ceramic poppies by Paul Cummins. I feel fortunate we happened to visit before it is taken down.

I have seen things.

I am really pleased they had an entire case of Gail Ann Dorsey materials, she’s an absolute powerhouse.

Mom and I visited the David Bowie Center at V&A East Storehouse today. It was marvelous as expected. Little disappointed the 50th Birthday frock coat wasn’t on display — we were on the floor for that concert.

I don’t always photograph my food, but this steak and ale pue was very cute in addition to being delicious.

Brighton aquarium has got the Halloween spirit! Oldest aquarium in the world, and not too far from World Fantasy Convention!

Check-in at the Brighton Doubletree was a little slow, but we were given 2 warm cookies each to mske up for it!

Of course I got the hashtag on the post wrong! #WFC2025 I'll be part of the World Fantasy Convention Mass Autograph session 10/31 8pm-10pm. Since I'm a woodcut printmaker, not a quick sketcher, I've made stamps for THE DAGON COLLECTION and THE STARRY WISDOM LIBRARY... Bring them to receive my mark!

My @idaolson.bsky.social "You should smile more" mug made it today and has already been put to work in my studio! Great size vessel and the handle doesn't require me to choose a few fingers to squeeze in, it's just an all-around great fit for me! Thanks for the brilliant work Ida!
