Endlessly angry that John Avon's popularity mainly stems from his work on full art basic lands when his stuff for normal basic lands is infinitely better.
I'm not just saying this because i want an Invasion Island playmat. I swear.

The novelist Maggie O’Farrell will travel to Stratford-upon-Avon next weekend bearing two branches of rosemary cut from her own garden. A plant traditionally associated with remembrance, as Ophelia notes in Hamlet, its flowering sprigs will be laid on the ground as tributes to Shakespeare’s twin children, Judith and Hamnet.
For centuries, they have had no visible memorial in the town where they lived and died. But all that changes on Saturday morning when two rowan trees will be planted in the graveyard of Stratford’s Holy Trinity church to mark their very different lives. O’Farrell will then place her gift of rosemary at the foot of each tree.
“I am so thrilled because I have been working towards this for years,” said O’Farrell, whose book about the family, Hamnet, won the Women’s prize for fiction in 2020. “Hamnet’s rowan, or mountain ash, will have red gold berries in the autumn, while Judith’s will be pinky white, so they are similar but not the same, just as they would have been.”
...
Speeches in the graveyard from the vicar and from O’Farrell will be followed by readings from two of Shakespeare’s plays; passages chosen for the occasion by the novelist and read by the Royal Shakespeare Company actor Hannah Young.
“For Hamnet, I’ve chosen Constance’s speech from King John, where she talks about her dead son,” said O’Farrell. “I’ve always believed it was clearly about Hamnet. And then, for Judith, I have selected lines from A Midsummer Night’s Dream which are about twins, a constant theme in his plays.”

Less Dumas and More Dumbass
THE THREE MUSKETEERS
The Attic Theatre, Stratford upon Avon, Friday 11th August 2023
“This isn’t a pantomime!” sneers the eminently booable Cardinal Richelieu, after encouraging us to boo him. No, it isn’t. Billed as a family show, this new adaptation of the Alexandre Dumas classic is by Olivia Holmes, who gives us an exuberant retelling with an emphasis on daftness. Silly jokes abound. The…

Gremlins
Author: George Gipe
Cover artist: John Alvin
Published by Avon in 1984
I filled this guy up with some paper from a couple of very old watercolor pads I had. I wanted to see what a little sketchbook with all torn edges would look like, and I think it turned out nicely - even if it attracts cat hair like crazy. This also served as a test for my ability to remove tape. I was lucky that most of it came off without an issue.
And what better way to break in a new sketchbook than with a portrait of one of my cats?
