Book Release!

Designing this poetry book for local artist Ashes Bardole has been a dream. I’ve been sitting in her tattoo chair for almost 5 years. We are just a couple of romantic beans in a harsh world.

“Just a romantic collection of words” is out now for purchase.

Today! Utah #Trans rally to oppose #HB269 which would segregate trans folks in public campus dorms.

Continuing on my IFS thread: Gaia is the most ‘nurturing’, but I think she might be a nesting doll of parts. The women in my system feel like they’re apart of a mycelium network: quietly hooked to eachother and all drinking from the same pool of righteous rage. #ifs #arttherapy

Internal Family Systems is saving my life at the moment. Miles is one of my babes, I’m calling him a Keeper. They are the byway of knowledge & memory and they really love hoarding lil collections.

Digitizing type ornaments brings me so much joy, these are from an ITC 1924 Type Specimen book.
