a close up of a lions head sculpted out of grey clayWe’re pleased to tell you that the Fox and Crow book is back on track after a few big ol’ bumps in the road. We anticipate a late-summer release.

Here’s an up-close image of the face of the lion.

Youngtown Art Festival.

We had a great time out in Youngtown, Arizona for their “Art in the Park” festival. Great to speak to so many people, pass out some bookmarks, make a few sales. Fun, casual. Thanks for stopping by.
