It’s that time of year again! I will have a table at the 2013 Motor City Comic Con selling art prints, t-shirts and other merchandise. It runs the weekend of May 17-19 this year. If you are going, please stop by and say hello!
Find out more about the Motor City Comic Con here. Hope to see you there!
Ahh, it’s my favorite time of year again. Just wanted to wish everyone a happy, spooky, frightabulous Halloween and I hope you get lots of candy! Below is an illustration for my Halloween card this year, done with pen and ink and watercolor.
Also, quilting artist Joan Costa asked me if she could make a quilt from my Halloween Bats artwork.
It turned out pretty cute. Thanks for sending me a picture, Joan!
Happy Halloween from CricketBow Design!
A large troop of mushrooms popped up outside of work over the past two days. I was able to get a few photos. Along with these I present Sylvia Plath’s Mushrooms poem, which symbolically isn’t about mushrooms, but I think it’s a wonderful poem 
Overnight, very
Whitely, discreetly,
Very quietly
Our toes, our noses
Take hold on the loam,
Acquire the air.
Nobody sees us,
Stops us, betrays us;
The small grains make room.
Soft fists insist on
Heaving the needles,
The leafy bedding,
Even the paving.
Our hammers, our rams,
Earless and eyeless,
Perfectly voiceless,
Widen the crannies,
Shoulder through holes. We
Diet on water,
On crumbs of shadow,
Bland-mannered, asking
Little or nothing.
So many of us!
So many of us!
We are shelves, we are
Tables, we are meek,
We are edible,
Nudgers and shovers
In spite of ourselves.
Our kind multiplies:
We shall by morning
Inherit the earth.
Our foot’s in the door.
If anyone knows what type of mushroom these are please comment below.
