ART ROUND-UP #9
Before the great deluge of Release the Wolves posts rolls across the land and drowns all of you, dear readers, in monsters and mayhem, I thought I’d do a post full of art and housekeeping stuff. I did a lot of personal drawings last month, thanks to many long train journeys back and forth between Switzerland and Germany. There’s nothing quite like sitting down for eight hours (or more, depending on the fickle temperament of the German train system) and watching castles and hills roll by (or not roll by; sometimes one stands still for ages in the middle of a sugar beet field) to make one want to draw fanciful things.
Anyway, here they are and I hope you like them!
Star Hunting
Brooding
Eclipse (I didn’t watch the recent eclipse - I think it wasn’t visible in Europe - but this is how I imagine it looked.)
A Busy Mind
Faucet Problems
Much To Do
After Much is Done
And some experiments:
On a final art note, thank you so much to everyone who keeps buying prints, stickers, and other goodies from my art shop and Inprint. I’m flabbergasted by every sale, and the thought of these things being on people’s walls, or tattoo’d on their arms, or being toted around with them in their daily lives everywhere from Ireland to Australia is so cool. I’m very grateful.
Here is a picture from Brianna and Wendy on Instagram, of a framed ghost print, as well as a tattoo of the Midnight Reading ghost. Thank you both!

Zürich looking idyllic.
The Netherlands looking possibly even more idyllic.
I live within biking distance to the Dutch border and the other week I pedaled over that way along the dyke above the Rhine, and it was the most beautiful thing. (Here is the border in question.)
A living jewel I stumbled upon, or maybe it stumbled upon me, during a forest walk.
Ok! Next week, Release the Wolves things! I’m excited!
