Y'all, I am VERY excited to introduce you to one of my new favorite Tolkien artists: Kay Woollard (1924-2008).

Woollard first read LotR in '79 when she was 55. From then until her death, she was heavily involved in Tolkien fan culture, contributing illustrations to Tolkien Society publications.

The townsfolk of Pumpkin Junction.

I am so tired.

Stickers of the different characters for Pumpkin Junction. Blind bag stickers for a local craft fair. There is a baker, constable, crier, mayor, towny, librarian and witch.

1. These are beautiful
2. I'm very jealous of Pumpkin Junction. I made a little pumpkin town and ended up going with Gourd Hollow but Pumpkin Junction is 10x better a name

I am so very excited about New York Comic Con! It's always my busiest show, so it's rare that I get to pop away from the table during floor hours, but I'll try to make rounds and say howdies in the hour or so before it opens each day. If you're there, I hope you'll swing by my table and say hello!

Hey!!! Thanks, Alex!

Yeah, we went to the theater for it a week or two after it came out

Let's hope there's nothing too weird in those sewers, which were left to the whims of a magical forest for centuries...

Isometric view of a ruined sewer system. All sorts of plants and mushrooms grow on the walls and from the ceiling.
The text reads: bring back samples from the old sewers.

More mixing nonsense, but I'm having too much fun with it! 😊

A drawing of a woman in a mix of late medieval plate armor and late roman armor, with light green and red clothes. She is wielding a spear and a shield, and wearing a golden late roman helmet. Her shield is painting with three arrows piercing through a dragon.

There's a bit in not dead yet when Brad Garret leans in smugly and says "I bet you thought you were tall until today" and boy that sums it up

I feel like Heston had more of a breadth of committed period film performances than any other A-lister. Every era of history, he was in the thick of it.

My pleasure!

Fingers crossed! I never get away from my table but I try to make rounds before the floor opens.

I'm going to be making more, probably this fall - Christmas Characters and authors at first, eventually expanding.

No, that's the best way to see it! On your feed, in the wild! I've been REALLY looking forward to it, Keezy, so very excited to delve in.
