Because there are not enough fanarts of Izzy Garcia, our new green Dino Fury ranger, I decided to draw one myself!

The 11th year

It happened I truly never imagined it actually happen.

The one time I decided to not be jealous.

This time I didn't even put up a fight.

Like a tornado I saw it spinning I stepped aside and allowed it to pass me.

Many things in the air I was happy to see flung away.

They are all her burdens now.

I only feel muscle soreness from holding it together all those years.

Now and then the perks are worth missing.

Better for me to be alone.

That decade behind us just dust.

After bad weather, u didn't want to pick up the pieces.

So I put down the ones in hand...

Why clean up a mess I didn't create myself just to see it crumble again.

No one stole it from me I gave it away deep down I didnt want it anymore years of pain and tears.

Calm.

Serenity.

No more wondering if Best

Was code for frienemy.

She will envy me once she wanders into what waters she thinks she stole from me..

That year my 11:11 wish came true

No more wishing for you😊

Passing the Torch

James and John Harper founded their publishing firm, J. & J. Harper, in 1817. In 1833 the firm changed its name to Harper & Brothers and began to use variations on the publishers’ device shown above: two hands with a torch.

According to the 1889 edition of The Book Buyer : A Summary of American and Foreign Literature, the meaning behind the Harper & Brothers device stems from Book I of Plato’s Republic, which has a reference to a torch race at a festival in honor of a Thracian Goddess that reads: “Carrying torches, they will pass them on to one another.”

Here we see two variations on the Harper & Brothers device from the front covers of two books. The first example is from 1846, the second example is from 1856. Although Harper & Brothers has since become HarperCollins Publishers LLC, resulting from a merger with Scottish publisher, William Collins, Sons, the torch has remained a part of their legacy. The current HarperCollins device combines the two firms’ logos: a torch above a fountain.
