Can’t wait to see the pieces everyone has made! So much art to gaze upon for the show tonight. And a pizza truck!! Basil & Banjo is just a couple blocks away slinging up some A+ sourdough crust pies.

A piece I completed for the art show tonight at - come see all of the gorgeous art created by those in the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies. This is my interpretation of the Oak King and the Holly King as snowshoe hares with ilex instead of holly as that’s what’s native here. My favorite little fact about these bun buns is that they change color seasonally, so in theory it could be the same hare. Reception is tonight at 6pm!

Books that rock! Couldn’t help myself… anyway, got lots of Michigan and Superior nature books in yesterday. Come check ‘em out. Lots of very niche topics like boat watching Superior, waterfalls of Michigan and of course, all the agate literature you can shake a stick at.

Just a deeper look at one of the prettiest decks ever! Unicorns and tarot make such a lovely pair. This one combines the reflections and meditation of an oracle deck with the structure and historical meanings of RWS tarot. The cards are really satisfying to shuffle with - just the right amount of snap and flex. And for me, personally, this is one of the most energetic decks I’ve used to date. Cards really like to “jump” out.

Unveiling next month’s Friggin’ Bats Book Experience: The English Masterpiece - on sale June 10 at our next Laidback Book Club. I loved drawing the fun 60s-inspired designs for this one. A young assistant at an art gallery accidentally blurts out that a Picasso is a forgery potentially to her own ruin. What happens next as she investigates the history of the painting in a world flush with forgeries and recovered art post-WWII. This story drew me in with such vivid descriptions of color and texture. It feels like stepping into a painting. It plays out more like a historical drama and less like a mystery; which I really enjoyed! It allows the characters to grow and focus on their relationships.
