The cover artist this month is Hanah Redmond:
“There is beauty within us; we just need to find it for ourselves.
I am an independent artist, and specialize in many forms of art, from photography and film to painting and projects.”
— Hanah Redmond
Okay... phew, what a month.
I’m trying to simultaneously recover from pretty severe burnout, and also keep working on projects that are important to me. I’ll let you know how it goes.
By the way... did you see that TUMBLEWEIRD got the Anchor of Pride award? Isn’t that amazing?!?!
Thank you for the nomination, and thank you to Tri-Cities Pride for all of the really incredible work they’re doing! While we were at Pride, Liam and I got to meet one of the scholarship recipients, who said some of the wisest things I’ve ever heard about how different marginalized communities need to work together. (Thanks, Matty!)
Also... COME TO MY ART SHOW!
https://consortiumofmagpies.org/shows/2026/you-need-to-hear-this.html
This show will be a continuation of the work we began three years ago with I Don't Know Who Needs to Hear This. You can read more about it on pages 16–17.
