In an era which holds itself increasingly distant from human processes, it is good to remember that paper and ink are constantly being combined by hand to create new things.

Bits of this and that.#photodump #findingjoy

When in doubt, go flea marketing all over Maine.#maine #fleamarket #vintage #nonsense

Well folks, it's been a rough rollercoaster. No services are planned at this time. Guy Robert Gallagher, 86, of Presque Isle, Maine, passed away Feb 9, 2026, finally at rest. He remained at home until his final day, when he went to the Aroostook House of Comfort for care.

She shy, she of the waning moon. Hiding behind the black lace screen of the winter tree. It sure is winter out there. One long exposure, one short. #waningmoon #winter #maine #aroostook #nocturne

Here's a good place to send documentation if you witness ICE misbehavior: [email protected]

You sure said it ‘a Chinese Ghost Story II’

A fun little book curse found while repairing this little 1960s gem (I love this Jekyll & Hyde cover art!). #book #bookcurse #beware #jekyllandhyde #horrorpaperback

Understandable in this economy tbh

Some light reading

One of many "true meanings" of "Ya can't get there from here" in Maine. #maine #winter #northbound

Northward bound, lovely day for a drive? #driving #northernMaine #winter #Maine

Spooky tree face for your enjoyment/perplexity. Appropriately akin to a snapping turtle, found in the woods behind the Evergreen Cemetery duckponds, which are rife with snappers. #maine #autumn #treeknob #snappingturtle

A Great Eared Nightjar for your health.

I see my feed is low on the promised "monsters" part of the description.

Cold and sun-halo-y up here in Aroostook County today. #maine #winter #sunhalo

Walmart grocery living up to its universally high standards When in the midst of sad nonsense and chaos, one must giggle still. ;)

Good afternoon. It is always, always time for witches.

I feel my friend Deb Murray has accurately captured this 100% all-the-time cat situation. #linocut #cat #printmaking #catmemes

Artist introduction: color variant. Hi all, I am Michelle Souliere. These snaps show a smattering of my work from the last couple of decades. I gravitate toward black and white, perhaps in part because my color obsession is a slippery slope into a wild rabbithole, peppered with snares.

Artist introduction! Hi, I'm Michelle Souliere. Here is an assortment of my monochromatic work over the last couple of decades. Big fan of graphite, ink, charcoal and watercolor. Not a fan of AI. #artist #illustrator #monochrome #drawing #ink #graphite #watercolor #maineartist #MECAalum

How the furballs started out ten years ago, and how they're doing now. Answer: ridiculous!#MeepnMrB #cats

Stark pre-winter landscape in the North. Still a surprising amount of late green at the ground level, but the snow barrier fences are up already where the snow tries to blow across the road and snare travelers. #USRoute1 #aroostook #baretrees #maine #winteriscoming #ruralmaine

Buncha Halloween nonsense (everyday). 👻💕 Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃 #halloween #photodump

Starting the day off with some stellar wildlife photography 🙄😆 🦌💨 #badphotography #maine

Back on my once-a-decade tattoo jag. Mad scribbling over a couple dozen sheets, and wouldn't you know? It was one of the Elder Signs on sheet #13 that I went with.

Meep has installed himself couchside to assist me with the @librarything.com 2025 Halloween Treasure Hunt! Digging to find buried jack-o-lanterns on the site. 🎃💕 I'm not a huge riddle-lover, but I've kinda gotten addicted to these little bookish challenges!!! 🏆

...And then the sewing starts. Gotta few sweatshirts I can't relinquish. Luckily I enjoy doodling with thread and fabric. #sewing #mending #patching #coveredinbeeslyrics

Back on the 'ween train!!! First Friday Artwalk at Pinecone & Chickadee - OCTOBER NONSTOP!!! Life thought it could keep me away from inky painty mayhem but jokes on them all, 'cause as it turns out I still have a moderate capacity for sleep deprivation!!! #halloween #maskmaking

Octopus rock. 🤔 #maine #oceanlurker

Yeah that's my Biscuit. It's been a crudbucket of a week, but there's some sweet bits here and there. 🥰 #mrbiscuits #catsofinstagram

February hike through 5 miles of snowy, sunny, windy landscapes. A good day, if exhausting. It'll recharge me in other ways! #maine #winter #hiking #getoutside

They say you can tell how great a city is by the number of bookstores it has. OK, maybe nobody says that, but they should.

A goodly fall of snow last night. #snowfall #maine #winter

Well that rascal Matt @mrj81.bsky.social asked me to "Post 4 of your fave movies and tag 5 ppl to do the same." Well I'm not one to chain-tag 😆 but here are my 4! Fun fact: I actually have a "desert island" list of my favorites. #4favemovies

So suave. #meepthemighty
