#thinking tree

The “Thinking Tree” is an ancient olive tree located in Ginosa, Puglia, Italy. This remarkable tree is estimated to be between 1,500 and 4,000 years old. Its nickname comes from the unique appearance of its trunk, which resembles a human face with eyes, a nose, and a mouth, giving it a contemplative look.

The tree has witnessed countless historical events and generations, standing as a silent testament to the passage of time. Olive trees like this one are deeply rooted in the culture and economy of Puglia, known for producing some of the world’s finest olive oil.

Wow! Lots of you pressed that little button over the last week. Thanks for pressing that button! There are a couple of cool things I want to tell you about - especially if you hang out/live in Edmonton - so I apologize for the extra wordy post to follow.

The first is that throughout August I will be selling/displaying teabot prints (pictured above! so nice!) at The Tea Girl. They come in 4”x6” ($5), 8.5”x11” ($10), and 11”x17” ($15). I will also be selling zines of my Daft Pun comics as well as zines of a little fairy tale I wrote/drew called The Thinking Tree. The zines will be $5 each (also pictured above! very nice!)

If you haven’t seen it and you like what I do, I hope you’ll check out The Thinking Tree. I worked really hard on it, and you can read it all on this post.

The second super-cool thing is that I will be exhibiting at my first comic expo this September at the Edmonton Expo with my friend Jen! I am crazy nervous and have no idea what I am doing but I am also very very excited to be there. Everything that I’m selling at the aforementioned Tea Girl will be available at the expo, as well as maybe some other things??

If you think you might be at the expo, please please please stop by and say hello. I draw silly & stupid things and put them on the internet, and all of you make me feel like it’s okay to do that, so if you’re around I want to tell you thanks and high five and maybe partake in a baguette together i don’t know.
