Lent drawing #22. More wolves.
Drawn on the subway. Inked at home.
Just arrived in the mail from the printers, and up on my Etsy store available for purchase.
I’m going to create individual listings for each color later tonight.
I have so many new things to post, it’s a little overwhelming.
For now, I’ve added a bunch of new things to my Etsy shop available for your perusal. I’ve attached a sampling.
So beautiful.

"The literary fairy tale, like the music of jazz, is an improvisation on a theme. It eschews our modern obsession with novelty, our insistence on plots that surprise on every page and ideas that have never been uttered before. Like jazz, it is best appreciated by those with an ear for the original melody on which it is based. The pleasure lies in savoring the writer’s skill as she or he transforms a familiar story."
— Ellen Datlow & Terri Windling, from their introduction to Black Thorn, White Rose (1995)
