Since it’s the year of the horse, I thought I’d share some pony designs from last summer’s mural for StrongTownsBlono 🌟 Designing these horses was especially joyful for me, since I love drawing ribbons and swirls. Please support StrongTownsBlono as another artist will be creating a new mural ✨

During my practicum studies at the @skeuomorphpress, I had the joy of getting to design illustrations for a printing of Ursula K LeGuin’s “A Rant About Technology.” In keeping with the heart of the text, the book was printed using techniques and machinery from printing presses of the 19th century.

Cleaned up almost all the chatter from the proofs, so @deliadraws.bsky.social’s illustrations look even better!

Friends, please share! Proofs are ready for @skeuomorphpress.org's edition of Ursula K. Le Guin’s "A Rant About Technology." I am so pleased with this book—in many ways our 1st real book project Details about how to get one through our fundraiser at skeuomorph.ischool.illinois.edu/le-guin-book...

The illustrations for the book were created by @deliadraws.bsky.social during her practicum last year & print beautifully from linoleum. I set the type & the book’s printed on archival-quality paper. We know $60 is a lot for a single short book but that price reflects the labor of this production

This is a drawing from 2023. I was thinking of how it feels to say goodbye when you are worried that it might be a final farewell.
