she’s 19 and a half and maybe shrinking, but some cats do live forever, right??? #kasha (at Haiku, Hawaii)

another recent commission, a painting for M, the daughter of @most_lovely_things ! a few years ago I painted M’s favorite books from her high school years (swipe to see it), and this is her college set. love that #inthecompanyofwomen is on there, and I really need to finally read #thegirls. . #idealbookshelf #booksbooksbooks #youllgrowoutofit #gonegirl #thecatcherintherye #sisterhoodofthetravelingpants #harrypotter #frannyandzooey

hey i made a new tote bag! of books everyone loves, screenprinted by our dear friends @nightowlsprint on high quality canvas, and much less expensive than our other totes (which have to be direct-to-garment printed to allow for ALL the colors of ALL the books). link in profile 👆🏼. also that’s a lovely little book by @zenguin sticking out! and a @samanthajhahn reading journal ✨. . #idealbookshelf #bookbag #superfantasticbook #idratherbereading #wellreadwomen

our landlord built a little shed in the backyard and right now @lillegal is camping out in there as she continues to avoid Zurich winter for several more months during her gap year but eventually it *might* be my painting studio 😍 (at Haiku, Hawaii)

Ursula! "...where I can get prickly and combative is if I’m just called a sci-fi writer. I’m not. I’m a novelist and poet. Don’t shove me into your damn pigeonhole, where I don’t fit, because I’m all over. My tentacles are coming out of the pigeonhole in all directions." . from an interview with Ursula K. Le Guin in the Paris Review, fall 2013 (1969 Ace paperback, art by Leo & Diane Dillon)

my cute mom accidentally appeared on @sfgate today, walking past Boot & Shoe while talking to me on the phone. we think the red purse I gave her for xmas really makes the shot. (btw she is not a quitting manager but fully supports them ❤️)

the stars are so bright tonight even my phone can see Orion 🌟. and no inbound missiles! (at Haiku, Hawaii)

once in nyc we were walking down the street behind a guy and his jack russell terrier (I know, this is a shiba inu, but he made me think of this story) who got very excited about the dog run we were all passing. the guy jerked the leash (not meanly, just sternly) and said, “no! you’ve had your dog time today!” 😂 . #bibliophilebook #shibainu #dogtime

aloha friday, yo. 🤙🏽 . #emmer (at Haiku, Hawaii)

I suck at sleeping, I do the wake-up-at-4am-and-worry-about-everything type of insomnia. and I liked to think it didn’t matter so much, but after reading this excellent book I am really, finally working on fixing it (even to the point of not drinking any alcohol, which is, you know, hard 🙄). Scribner 2017 hardcover, design by ?? (not listed in the kindle version, which drives me nuts! anyone know?) . #whywesleep #matthewwalkerphd #idealbookshelf
