We lost a good one this week — lovely David. Got me through grad school. No one was as funny and sassy and bitchy, in the very best way. Oh, and also, he was brilliant. A Caldecott winner for his book TheGraphic Alphabet. Loved this guy. Here he is w my first born back in early 2000s. He was generous and good and helped people in need as part of his life’s practice. And he loved dogs more than humans. Always a sign of a golden heart and deep intelligence. We will miss you dear one.

Reviewing my October book project about sticks and stones. Gearing up to make a companion piece to this one for residency #2 at @directanglepress in March…Ruminating on how to visualize the opposite of violence, cruelty, extraction…
More pages… exploring what 3 colors of riso can do … a book about the human story of violence, extraction, exploration, and competition. The quiet patience of nature and time vs the tendency towards invention and ownership. Mostly trying to visualize the imaginings of my brain…. @directanglepress — riso printing/letterpress residency
These lovely and mysterious marks at the Oude Kirk in Amsterdam. Can wait to research their meanings… their carvers. All are on many tombstones that make up the floor of the church where thousands have been buried over the years. A moving place to say the least. The last image is Rembrandt’s first wife Saskia who was buried there in the 1600s.
