Happy #caturday from the 4 million digital images the Smithsonian just released into the public domain!
In October 2018, I did a brush pen illustration-a-day of a short poem I'd written - some very old, some completely new, spanning writings from 2007 to the day I was drawing it. It was a fun, reflective series, and every so often I think about doing it again. Here's the first one, "The Forest".

The forest. It can hidethe smallest bird andthe widest sky.- Maiji/Mary HuangMy notes say: “March 27, 2009. An exercise in minimalism.” It was really more an exercise in perspective, but at the time I was writing a lot of very wordy poems. Also holy crap 2009 was 9 years ago whatOriginally posted October 1, 2018. See more: 31 days of poetry and ink
Happy New Year! I hope 2023 brings you joy, many stories, a touch of folklore and some wonderful food.
Thank you so much for supporting me this year. If you have enjoyed a podcast or a letter then I have achieved what I hoped. There will be lots of new things to come in 2023 and I hope you will be with me to share them.
