Here is a (Cat) Heart

Oh hey. Below is a cat-comic/drawing. It's my interpretation of the wonderful song 'Here is a Heart' by the fantastic Jenny Owen Youngs. If you haven't yet, you should definitely give her a listen--she is a super amazing writer and musician.

The drawing is sort of large and hard to display on a screen, so I've provided some close-ups below the over-all view. For you're convenience.

An illustration of the verse "Anyway you got my goose/ You're swallowing me like kudzu/ Pretty soon I'll be a leafy silhouette/ But you can pick my voice out of the wilderness" from the song Half a Mind by Jenny Owen Youngs

May


fungus forest

Inspired by Karen Russell's amazing short story "Reeling for the Empire," in which factory workers are mutated into human/silk worm hybrids. "'Are we monsters now?' I give Dai a helpless look. That's a question I won't answer." 

Memories of a Shadow

I finished this tiny story in the week leading up to the Pioneer Valley Zine Fest. It's part one of a (hopefully) continuing story.

April

The Woolly Terrestrial Octopus is a land-dwelling carnivore that can weigh up to 75 pounds. It is warm-blooded and lives in northern temperate forests, hunting mainly for squirrels, small rodents, and birds. It has a thick coat of fur and is able to climb trees and rocky outcrops using its strong arms, which are lined with suction cups that secrete a sticky mucus. Unlike its invertebrate marine counterpart, the terrestrial octopus has a skeleton, including a skull, rib cage, and vertebra-like columns of bones within each arm.

The amazing Abbi & Ilana of Broad City. From Episode 2: Abbi would be a slim pug and Ilana would be a 3-legged mutt.
