Owl and Willow Brain Journal

My buddy Seanan McGuire has been texting me for bird IDs lately, which culminated today when an owl flew into her window, screamed, and attacked her when she went outside to check on it. (Twitter was a delight today as a result!) She called me at the coffee shop, and I stood outside alarming passersby by saying things like...well, like this.

Good times! (Owl was fine. Seanan's got a background in wildlife rehab, if not in birds. Her house may belong to the owl now, though.)

So for not quite a year now, I've been doing these weird little journal pages like this. I collected last year's worth into a little POD book, and I've been doing them every few days this year--just documenting my life, stuff that happens, interesting things I find in the garden, and so forth. (I can't blog as much as I'd like these days because I write for a living and I think I use up most of my words, but I seem able to do these instead.)

It occurred to me, since I can't do as much art--or rather, all my art is bespoke for kid books these days--that people over here might like to see some of these weird little slice of life things.

They are assembled in Photoshop, using the fonts LittleBird, Sweet Home Oklahoma, and occasionally Rose Tattoo.
