I do some bookbinding for fun, but haven't done a whole grimoire on my own. ARCANUM BESTIARUM from Three Hands Press covers different magical traditions around animals. They had calligrapher Gail Coppock create a font based on my style, so it's a lovely book.

Visited the Tower of London today and was particularly impressed by The Tower Remembers, an installation by Tom Piper of ceramic poppies by Paul Cummins. I feel fortunate we happened to visit before it is taken down.

I have seen things.

I am really pleased they had an entire case of Gail Ann Dorsey materials, she’s an absolute powerhouse.

Mom and I visited the David Bowie Center at V&A East Storehouse today. It was marvelous as expected. Little disappointed the 50th Birthday frock coat wasn’t on display — we were on the floor for that concert.

I don’t always photograph my food, but this steak and ale pue was very cute in addition to being delicious.
