Japanese Toy Sketchbooks

for a completely random thought, (and i have no idea how i discovered this site the first time) but the following is a wonderful database of old japanese watercolor sketchbooks from the 19th and early 20th century showing a collection of toy designs... search long enough and you will find lots of great creatures and some spooky masks...


as for events here - excited to receive the first run of notes back from the editor on the poem. which leads me to wonder at what point editors see both text and illustrations for an image heavy book...? i have another doc that pairs the stanzas with the images, but hesitate to send it. it seems working on the illustrations has made it hard for  me to concentrate on the poem itself... and i would hate my editor to fall to the same fate.

in the meantime, just doing some tweaks to the look of this blog... and thinking how i will approach an official website...
