Cover art by Leo and Diane Dillon for Enchantress from the Stars by Sylvia Louise Engdahl

A Newbery Honor Book. Books that are honored by the Newbery Committee tend to emphasize the learning of some craft or hands-on activity. One reason Enchantress is unusual is that the book emphasizes the main character's journey to learn telekinesis, which is definitely not a "hands-on" activity

simultaneously a fairytale and a science fiction story, so the Dillons created art that works in both modes

Interwoven

New paleoart piece! This one is with primally watercolor outlined in colored pencil, it's of a sinosauropteryx and red fox. They are pretty similar to each other in my opinion, and filled the same ecological niches in their respective ecosystems. Both were around the same size, both ate small lizards and mammals, and both had the same colors. It's amazing how nature repeats it's patterns even millions of years apart. A winding circle with no end.

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

[canthaveshitingotham-crucified]

Publisher: Subterranean Press

I was so sad to hear Subterranean Press will be closing at the end of next year! I loved working on these covers, and it has always been so smooth working with them.

But I'm inclined to think that we're all ghosts . . . ; it's not only the things that we've inherited from our fathers and mothers that live on in us, but all sorts of old ideas and old dead beliefs, and things of that sort. They're not actually alive in us, but they're rooted there all the same, and we can't rid ourselves of them. I've only to pick up a newspaper, and when I read it I seem to see ghosts gliding between the lines. I should think there must be ghosts all over the country—as countless as grains of sand. And we are, all of us, so pitifully afraid of the light.

Henrik Ibsen, Ghosts and Other Plays

Stories never live alone: they are the branches of a family that we have to trace back, and forward. In the rapture of her sea crossing on the back of a white bull, Europa conceals within herself, like still undiscovered powers, the destinies of her love-crazed granddaughters Phaedra and Ariadne…  who would one day hang themselves out of shame and des­peration. And down among the celestial roots of this story tree we come across the wanderings of the mad heifer, the ancestral lo, who again holds within herself the image of another mad heifer, mother of Phaedra and Ariadne: Pasiphae. And she too hung herself in shame.

Roberto Calasso, The Marriage of Cadmus & Harmony, translated by Tim Parks
