It’s been a while, but just taking a moment to share this photo from a recent visit and tour of Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty (and what amazing work they do.)

Thank you! Wonderful to meet you and thank you for your kind words.

Oh no!!!! I’m so sorry!

Hello friends. These are stressful times and I hope you’re hanging in. In the meantime, I’m honored and very grateful to be participating in @tropicboundfair this week — Miami’s international, biennial artists’ book fair, Feb 6-9, 2025f you’re in the area, please do come by!

This is awful.

I hope everyone is hanging in and — whether you’re posting about it or not — doing what you can. Following up on last week’s papercuts — They’ve been (quickly) assembled into an artist proof for @tropicboundfair. Super big thanks to amazing studio assistants, @cdpha11 and @jed_the_doofius . xo

Illustration of woman holding hands to her ears and grimacing. The text reads “compassionate abiding with discomfort”

These days. From the sketchbook …

The world lost a remarkable light last night, Jo-Anne Green. In her last year, she created a stunning body of work, “DEATH: Liminal Spaces & The Metaphors That Bridge Them. Cancer, Black Holes, and the Cryosphere.” Please read and look. I’ll miss you, dear friend.

So very very grateful to these two unbelievably amazing studio assistants, @cdpha11 and @jed_the_doofius . We now have 25 proof / prototype paper cuts ready for @tropicboundfair! #tropicboundfair #papercut #papercuts #wildswans #hanschristianandersen #bookart #bookarts

Taking a break from the sadness of the world - since the limited edition 21st Century Nursery Rhymes book is nearly sold out, I’m trying to do a small factory run version heavily inspired by Geraldine Klyne’s series of Jolly Jump-Ups — horizontal, six spreads, all die cuts and folds, no glue tabs.

Waving back and best to you!! Ox

Yay!!

Finally doing this ...
