"That’s easy. Julie, Molly, Luke. Jeannine, Jane, Joyce. North Manchester. Indianapolis. Indiana. The woods. The highways. The deer. The 4th of Julys. The hot summer nights. All the numbers. The deepest snows. All the car trouble. All the love and all the fights. Mack."

"We’ve been told to stay away,

but this is the sea, this is the shore,

this is the sky, all met..."

The Golden Key (cover)

I had the wonderful opportunity to illustrate Issue 5, Things that Float for The Golden Key, a journal of speculative and literary writing. The pieces in this issue are really fantastic and gorgeous and floaty, and were such a joy and challenge to illustrate!

Thanks so much, LiAnn and the editors, for letting me be part of this issue!
