The Post Paper Bag World
The Post Paper Bag World
The iconic children’s book Paper Bag Princess is turning forty. The CBC recently ran a story about how important, revolutionary, and impactful the book was. It spoke to subverting tropes, empowering young girls, and mothers crying over how they wished they’d had it when they were children.
The article was great, and you should go read it, but it rang false to me. Not because it’s inaccurate. Not…

Photos From Chernobyl
(guest post by Amanda DeGroof)
I was recently asked what my ultimate bucket list trip would be. Perhaps a sunny beach, or a romantic spot in Europe? No, my answer was “Fukushima”. And prior to last year, it would have been “Chernobyl”.
I’ve long been obsessed with abandoned places; the more eerie the history, the better. I’ve been to abandoned mental asylums, disused underground tunnels, and the…

The Unfettered Joy of Sharing your Art
The Unfettered Joy of Sharing your Art

A Box For My Box Set
A Box For My Box Set
A while back, I published the last of a six-book collection. A couple days ago, I got it into my head that I needed to put them into a box. I mean, what’s the point in a box set if you don’t have a box, right?
To accomplish this, I fell back on my old standby: illustration board and sticker paper.
A little tangent… You can build a lot with illustration board (pressed cardboard ~1/16″ thick) and…

So, I just read that the Evil Leadership in the White House announced today that they are “rescinding conservation rules requiring energy-saving light bulbs.” LIGHT BULBS. Because every dick and harry running industries that predated conservation—these wankers have to get their piece of the Trumpian pie.
