Take me to your trees. Take me to your breakfasts, your sunsets, your bad dreams, your shoes, your nouns. Take me to your fingers.

This is possibly one of my favourite books of all time. ‘The Strange Library’ by Haruki Murakami. It’s whimsical narrative and accompanying illustrations make for an immersive and magical read. Definitely one to add to the TBR pile!

“The symbolic interpretation is the only one which expands, enlarges the world, makes it boundless, illimitable. All others reduce it. Dreams, mysteries, myths, symbols, are as necessary as bread.”

so somebody asked me to make angry bunny easter cards

i’m having trouble with this because i mostly make these bunnies when i’m angry (hence the name), and i’m not angry right now.  i’m feeling pretty good.

also, i don’t have strong feelings about easter, and am not sure what negative things the bunnies will be saying about it.

here’s a couple of ideas i doodled.

A woman-of-color who writes poetry or paints or dances or makes movies knows there is no escape from race or gender when she is writing or painting. She can’t take off her color and sex and leave them at the door or her study or studio. Nor can she leave behind her history. Art is about identity, among other things, and her creativity is political.
