Again, a number of weeks have passed since my last post! I’m in one of those work cycles where time flies by while I move in six different directions at once.
Figured I should at least post some of the things I’m doing that aren’t top secret…so here are a pair of pieces I did on the topic of “the mind” as contributions to a forthcoming book about illustration. I’ll likely say more about this book once it’s available for purchase! Until then, hopefully you’ll enjoy my crack at visual descriptions of the inner workings of the primitive/magical vs. the future/scientific mind.
The magic piece for me is more about resistance, oppression, and loss. The science piece is more about the challenge of understanding the world around us and the struggle to cooperate to achieve great and terrible things.
Personally, I’m not sure there’s much of a difference. Both are rooted in the desire for acquisition and progress, and I’ve always felt like magic is only science we haven’t figured out yet.
Maybe I’ll have myself tattooed blue this week.

The Life of an Aging Superhero by Andreas Englund
Artist Andreas Englund was born 1974 in Falun, Sweden. ”Humour can be the carrier of messages that are otherwise hard to convey. For me, it liberates my thoughts and ideas from pretentiousness while at the same time it opens doors to new routes and angles.”

I believe in Benedict Cumberbatch.
I’ll be heading to my wonderful hometown, Cleveland, Ohio, for the next couple of weeks, so I may not be on Tumblr frequently. Regularly scheduled...
I only ever use one bag, which is a canvas tote I got at the Whole Foods because it had elephants on it. So I shocked my husband today when I ran up...
