Still in disbelief that I got to bring my wildest crankie show dreams to life this past weekend at the @centeratwestpark object movement festival. I feel so friggin lucky. Here are some awesome pics of The Machinations of My Heart by @richardtermine . Huge thanks to Jan Leslie Harding for being an awesome fellow cranker and voice actor. I canāt wait to keep working on this show and let my crankie girl keep leading me to magical unfamiliar shores. ššš #crankieshow #crankies
t minus 3 days until the @centeratwestpark object movement puppetry festival! This piece is called āThe Machinations of My Heartā and itās short and strange and sad and kind of like if Flat Stanley got squished by a book of fairy tales instead of a bulletin board. There is singing and shadow puppets and mandolin and crankies galore. Here are a couple pics from behind the scenes.

Oldish news but exciting news! This illustration I made was published in a real life book! āReading Childrenās Fairytales: Inside the Gingerbread Houseā is out as of a weekish ago. Itās published by Routledge and features an introduction by Jack Zipes and contributions from various brilliant @goldsmithsuol faculty including @iammichaelrosen ! Aaand amazing work by @faezeaf.__._ on the cover!! I donāt recommend buying it though because itās an academic book and it costs an arm and a leg. Anyway Iām so thankful. Ok bye šŖ°š§ŗš #illustration #fairytaleillustration

Quick interlude from the Very Serious Art Things to say wow!! Iām so lucky to get to experience the magic in this world that is friends and family and art and music and crankies and tomatoes and teeny little toads who live by the swimming hole. Bye š
