Digital image of a serigraph, 9 Barn Owl faces peeking out of a heart-shaped opening in a red wall with straw pieces sticking out, in Harper's signature "minimal realism" style Put a fancy lace border around these barn owls and you could send them to your sweetie on February 14. “Be mine!” you could say, “I love you with all my hearts!” Or when you’re ready to pop the question: “Let’s owlope.” And on your anniversary: “You’re still as owlluring as ever.” For Flag Day: “I pledge owllegiance.” Then there’s Cowlumbus Day and Owlection Day. And Christmas! “Owlleluia.” Oops, almost forgot Howloween. Maybe we’d better start listing them — owlphabetically. — Charley Harper

ICYMI, this thread and the quoted post document my descent into madness re: anthropomorphic cow mascots.

I regret to inform you that I have gone further down the terrible rabbit hole that is Elsie the Cow.

If you squint at enough eBay listings trying to read the words, you find a saga of a marriage gone mad.

This morning, I got distracted while eating cheese because I remembered that the laughing cow is named Elsie and is married to Elmer the cow on the glue labels. To doublecheck that I hadn’t hallucinated that, I looked it up and fell down a dark internet rabbit hole.

Make Art (1/4)
A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”

secret late night announcement. I'm launching later this month, in collaboration with illustrator @supercoolspyclub.bsky.social, JANUARY : a postcard writing game for two people, set in a kaiju-filled alternate history, about distant but persistent friendships.
a photograph of a postcard book mockup. some game prompts can be seen, as can a watercolor painting of an eel. Part of the cover is visible; it features a collage and some portion of the eel painting.

🌹 10 years ago, I launched THE CARPET MERCHANT OF KONSTANTINIYYA, and it changed my life forever.
To celebrate, the 10th Anniversary Edition of my very first completed #webcomic will begin February 18, 2026 - updates every Wednesday + Saturday.
Read the prologue now:
thecarpetmerchant.reimenayee.com
Key illustration containing the title of the webcomic (The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya, 10th Anniversary Edition, by Reimena Yee). Within a stylised depiction of Istanbul's Blue Mosque, a tearful Zeynel is embraced and comforted in the arms of Ayse, his collar and neck soaked in blood. His long coat, a kaftan embroidered in gold florals and flames, is splayed on a floor-sized Usak carpet. The couple is surrounded by gold-foiled tulips, roses and poppies. Woven and sitting amongst the flowers are Zeynel's pets (a white raven and black rat); his English friend Alfred; and his vampire sire, Mora Strigoi. Lanterns are hung from the stems and leaves. Behind Zeynel and Ayse, their family members watch from the columns of the mosque. One of them is a young woman weaving a carpet, the other is a stately grandfather writing a book. A mysterious shadowy figure looms further away. A giant nightingale and bat face each other, framing the title. The illustration is in mostly monochromatic shades of blue, save for the gold of the flowers and embroidery; the bright red of Zeynel's turban, blood and Mora's attire; and finally, the white of the raven, moon and title.

There are two wolves inside me – one would like to order a properly made signature stamp, like the one for ceramics, while the other says that it is enough to make stamps of various sizes each time I make a linocut, and at some point I will have a large collection of them
