intro

Hi! I'm Haley. Currently taking my MA in the History of the Book!

I started this sideblog to try and keep track of the second half of my MA year as the first one has flown by!

Some wacky illustrations for a short dissertation I wrote for my Masters, exploring the relationship between medieval illuminations, marginalia, and online ads.

Markers on cartridge paper.
