@arparparp.bsky.social I just got my zine today and your piece is so beautiful, it gave me the same feeling as like, looking at the illustrations in jeanie baker picture books where everything looks so lush and alive
An image from a Jeanie baker picture book (where the forest meets the sea). Two human figures, an adult and child, stand with their backs to the viewer, looking up at the tangle of rainforest as a flock of white birds takes flight from the treetops. This illustration is done in jeanie backers collage style, giving the picture and almost felt-like texture in appearance

The only gift guide that matters nymag.com/strategist/a...
A pink and white cake, followed by the text: DEZICAKES Fake Cake $60 I have a lot of fake cakes. I keep them in my refrigerator, and then I have stacks of them lined up on the top shelf of a closet. An image of 'pagan netherworlds' tarot cards followed by the text: Materia Prima Tarot Card Deck $60 One time, I got shingles, and they put me on steroids and I got interested in tarot cards. I went to my guy who sticks needles in me, and I was like, “I feel fantastic,” and he was like, “Amy, that’s speed, you can’t take those anymore.” An image of a green and pink stress ball designed to look like a balloon flower, followed by the text: Carnegie Museums Oversized Flower De-stress Ball $15 I saw this at the Andy Warhol Museum gift shop — I haven’t squeezed it at all; I just have it on display in a little glass.
