Some Highlights from May 2025.
I will be making a zine of vegetable art each month this year. Here is the vegetable artwork for May, Okra and the vegetable art zine for May.
This year I’m working on a series of digital paintings made in Inkscape of abstract grids of multi-color squares. Check out the May 2025 paintings and print out a free zine of the series.
Over the last few years I wrote poetry based prompts posted on a mastodon by a community of writers who share haiku prompts everyday. Read the haiku here. I just finished putting together a book collection of this poetry. I’ve looked over the final proof and will be making it available for sale on trade paperback with blurb. I think there will be two editions. One to be sold directly thru blurb and one thru Ingram so that it can be sold to bookstores and libraries. I think I will do it this way because selling thru ingram on an individual level is very expensive and I’d like for the book to have a lower price point when I sell it directly. Look for it at the end of June.
This year I am experimenting with form. Trying out sonnets and Villanelle poems. For May, I wrote a sonnet: 14 lines, 10 syllables each. 3 Quatrains then end with a couplet. Read the poem here. Print out a free zine of it here. It’s about the locust plagues that ravaged the midwest in the 1870s.
Zine libraries are welcome to print out my zines and put them in their collections. Please contact me to let me know.
It’s Spring here in the northern hemisphere. Get my art on t-shirts in my redbubble store.
