REWARD, 11/11/2024

"Let us not worry about the future. Those who do what is right are always rewarded." Beatrice Schenk de Regniers

I don't worry about the future, but I am not so ignorant as to think those who do right will always be rewarded. Life doesn't work that way, and I can't change it. But I can do the things that are important to do with hopes that the hard work, in addition to doing "what is right" will probably do me more good than harm. I live one day at a time, because that's all I can handle. I also do what is right, even when it is tough, hard, or even impossible. We won't always be rewarded in one sense, but we will find an internal reward, and that works for me.

I have some risograph prints for sale! These are £8 each or £15 for the set (one of each). There are two different designs -  Design 1 “A secret house just for you”. Design 2 “Sometimes you just want everyone to leave you alone”.  Black risograph printing on 100 gsm ‘Metaphor Hairy’ paper - it’s a beautiful off white paper with hairy flecks all over it. Printed by @risottostudio in Glasgow.  Postage £5 UK  International postage please message and I’ll look into it The prints were inspired by an old children’s book I found at my Mum’s house in Kent which I think I had looked at as a child.  The book is called ‘A Little House of your Own’ by Beatrice Schenk De Regniers and has great drawings by Irene Haas. The book really resonated with me - I love to have a secret place to be by myself.  Since I’ve been tattooing, towers and buildings have become some of my favourite things to draw and I love to share them and put them on peoples skin - a shared house that exists forever on someone I have just met and houses whatever it is they want it to house. These houses can be a secret place for a person, insect, animal, spiritual being, creature, plant, idea or a feeling to have some alone time. I believe there are so many different ways to live your life and exist on this planet and different types of homes can reflect this.  The original reason I fstarted drawing these towers was because I was dreaming of a post human world where the animals and plants have reclaimed man made structures and spaces. I was thinking about how humans are so temporary and we’ve done a lot of damage and hopefully one day we’ll all die and the other beings will be able to rejoice and take back what is rightfully theirs. Nature is so much more powerful than us (this is why there are no humans in the drawings). But of course, they can have many reasons and meanings for existing. Anyway please DM if you’d like a print!

"The King said, 'Hello.' The Queen gave me a kiss, And said, 'What monkey Business is this?' They hung from the roof. They sat on the floor. They ate and they ate Till there wasn't any more to eat." From "May I Bring A Friend?" by Beatrice Schenk de Regniers and Beni Montresor. This one is a blast to read aloud, the way it purposefully breaks the rhyme scheme (as shown in that quote above) gives it such a great rhythm. https://www.instagram.com/p/BZBLw96j2c7/?igshid=193manf1febq8

[theroguestoryteller]

If I start looking at one book from my childhood, I can’t stop. If you can make it through this entire post, I applaud you. I had to seriously control myself while writing this one because I wanted to include every single book that I still cherish from my childhood. While not all of them made it in here, this is a pretty comprehensive list. I’ve highlighted a handful just because.

Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper

Cat, Duck and Squirrel all have their jobs in making pumpkin soup but when the Duck wants to switch things up, there’s a squabble and he leaves their cabin, which leaves the Cat and the Squirrel worrying about him when he doesn’t return. I refuse to read this book again for fear of losing the magic that I associate it with from the last time I read it, which was probably when I was seven or eight years old. Hands down one of the most memorable books of my childhood. I still remember all of the senses and daydreams I had when my mom would read it to me. I’ve held onto it forever and just the thought of it makes me feel warm.

Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson

Calvin and Hobbes always makes me laugh. I still have the page numbers of my favorite comics memorized. Tigers were my favorite animal when I was little and I loved to daydream of being alongside Calvin and Hobbes for all their adventures.

Danny the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl was a staple of my childhood but this story was one of my favorites. It was probably one of the first books of his that I read and thought, wow. This is for ADULTS! It’s for all ages but younger me didn’t really know that. She just knew that it was more substantial than what she had previously read. I reread Danny the Champion of the World countless times and now that I think about it, I need to read it again.

The Complete Tales by Beatrix Potter

Every single one of these is an absolute masterpiece. I have to say, two of them gave me nightmares and even just the thought of them still scares me a little today. But I love all of these books regardless and they took up a significant chunk of my childhood reading.

The Real Fairy Storybook by Georgie Adams

This book of fairy tales told by fairies themselves is one of my favorite childhood books. I especially liked how the fairies conversed in between telling their stories. The illustrations are absolutely magical and now, even from the very first page I still feel transported into the stories.

The 39 Clues Series by Various Authors

I was the coolest kid in school when I showed up one day with a book with skulls and crossbones all over the cover. Thus began my 39 Clues journey. I read these at a speedy pace and was devastated when it ended, especially because I found the ending unsatisfactory. However, these books are incredible. I think every child can agree that family scavenger hunts spanning centuries, secret passageways and deadly alliances are interesting.

Nancy Drew by Carolyn Keene

Good ol’ Nancy Drew should be in every child’s room. I’ve still got all of my Nancy Drew books. There’s sixty four books and I read a good chunk of them, many times over, but I wish I had read more of them.

The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart

I devoured this series and my mom did, too. It’s so creative and well written. It got me thinking and really spoke to my imagination. The second book inspired me to want to learn Morse Code (spoiler alert: I didn’t). Definitely recommend this book for adventure lovers.

May I Bring A Friend? by Beatrice Schenk De Regniers

The premise of the story is that a young boy is invited to spend the day with the King and Queen and they allow him to bring a friend. However, his friend is never who they’re expecting. This is just the cutest book for young readers. I’ve been an animal lover from day one so this book was right up my alley. I don’t know how many times I asked my mom to read this to me as a bedtime story but she was always pretty cool about it.

Rainbow Magic Series by Daisy Meadows

Best friends Rachel and Kirsty stumble upon the world of fairies and in each book, a fairy is either missing, has lost something or was kidnapped by goblins. It’s a similar premise for all the hundreds of books but I still ADORED them. I got started on the Rainbow Fairies first, of course, but from there I was reading Crystal the Snow Fairy, Stella the Star Fairy, Pearl the Cloud Fairy and countless other fairies’ stories. These books are the backbone of my compulsive reading habits. I recently gave my best friend’s little sister the first two books of the original series and hope to indoctrinate her, too.

The Magic Tree House Series by Mary Pope Osborne

I traveled a lot with my parents when I was younger and thoroughly enjoyed going on adventures with them but also with Jack and Annie, who were much closer in age to me. Their adventures around the globe were great and really fed my imagination.

“The more you read, the more things you know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” – Dr. Seuss
