Expressing my love for the written word the next best way I know how—through illustration and typography. Here’s to all the books that kept us up at night, the pages we turn to for comfort, and to all the words yet to be written.

To motivate you to beat your reading goals for the year, I’ve created a 2017 calendar out of these designs—with each month having its own bookish illustration. If that’s your thing, you can check the calendar here.

As for the rest—prints, shirts, mugs, and more are available at: RedBubble | Society6 | TeePublic

Les Reflections sur la Marne - Rene Charles Edmond His

reminder series: bleak yet comforting thoughts.

i specifically chose animals that are (or believed to be) extinct due to human influence: thylacine, great auk, baiji, west african black rhino, golden toad, dodo, passenger pigeon, and quagga. there are many other species i could have included. the plants are also based on extinct species, but i found much less information about extinct plants, unfortunately.

the text doesn’t necessarily relate to each animal or their extinction. it’s all basically the same idea: let’s all be nice to each other, because today, the universe is vast and incomprehensible, we are all suffering, we are all going to die, and we’re all in this together. for today.

i’m busy for a couple weeks with conventions, but after that i’m considering a companion series with ancient extinct animals, so feel free to send me your favorites :)

in the flesh + art            caspar david friedrich, wanderer above the sea of fog -  In the far distance, faded mountains rise in the left, gently leveling off into lowland plains in the east. Beyond here, the pervading fog stretches out indefinitely, eventually commingling with the horizon and becoming indistinguishable from the cloud-filled sky.
