And another edible fungi illo, this time featuring one of my favs, Chicken of the Woods! They’re pretty abundant in my area but it’s always exciting finding a big one at the perfect stage. Dreaming of fried chicken of the woods burgers ... Prints available in my shop: kaleymckean.bigcartel.com/

I’ve been working on my mushroom hunting skills this year. I had really great luck with chanterelles this summer while visiting family in Connecticut. Strong contender the prettiest of the edible wild fungi. Prints available in my shop: kaleymckean.bigcartel.com/

So thrilled to find a box of copies of Howl Like a Wolf at my door! I’m so pleased with how it turned out and so eager to see it out in the real world! Thanks to Kathleen Yale for writing such an imaginative and immersive book about the animal world and to Storey Publishing for bringing me on to such a cool project. Look for it mid-April online and in stores!

I’ll be sharing more soon!
