The Folded Sky is two weeks and two days away! Hey everybody! The pretty hype machine is about to gear up big time here, as I have a book coming out on June 17th and there will be a bunch of appearances...

Excelsior! THE FOLDED SKY is just a little over two weeks away.

Here is a post I made with a bunch of places to pre-order it (including ordering signed and personalized copies) and some information on the appearances I will be doing to support it!

Sharks have urea in their blood, which means that if we spill a drop of shark blood on the floor then lab smells like burning rotten pee for a week

I have heard that some sharks enjoy petting. Is that true? Do they like any particular spots scratched? (I promise I will not go out and pet sharks on my own.)

Angular roughshark!

I do that too!

A little bounce to brighten your evening.

Alex is balancing a tuxedo cat on her shoulder. The cat is facing backwards, and only her gently puffed tail and haunches are visible. Alex is a late 30s white woman with dark, unbrushed hair curling in various directions, covering half her face. She appears beleaguered and under slept. In the background, one wall is painted with freehand birch trees over pale green.

Wearing the kitty.

I was asked to make a 4 inch square painting for a charity event for a kids program and so uhhh I made this idk I tried my best 😅

...ahaha!

Same, girl. Same.

Here is my DM! I donated $25 to SAI. No receipt in my inbox yet, but it is showing on my bank account. Do you need proof?

@whysharksmatter.bsky.social I have a hat I would very much like you to wear (and to have, as a gift). Could you tell me a good place to donate and then I can send you the hat?

Mutual missing. My health has really been uncooperative.

This is in fact how I imagine your gender.

You know what, so are you!

My woven blanket preorder is still open! 🙏💚 Thank you so much who ordered so far, I will give a confirmation once they go into final the production!

Closeup photo of a shorthair calico/tortoiseshell cat. She's laying on a multicolored woven cushion absolutely embedded with cat hair, and she's sprawled playfully with paws pointed in various directions. Her head is squashed upside down against the cushion and her bright pink and shiny tongue sticks out prominently.

I think that about sums it up, really.

I send an email to coordinate a project. I sign it:
Best fishes,

Artist replies. They sign it
Worm-ly,

Things can still be good.

I mean, I would be. A lot of sharks are pretty chill.

Lunar Pursuit

I picture these as concepts for those animations you see in movies when someone begins to tell a myth or a story... 😄

Me, to wife, who is afraid of spiders: Did I tell you about the spider vibrators?!
Wife: (sighing) yes.

Evolution is a series of jokes, and this is a punchline.
