#old Halloween

The perfect image for Old Hallowe'en, which is today! In the time before the Gregorian calendar lopped off twelve days to make things fit, this would have been All Hallows' Eve in the Celtic calendar. It's also the festival of St. Martin, which has traditionally marked the beginning of winter. So this ghost isn't so much lost as right on time.

I'll have a bigger post about all that later on, but for now, as one person memorably put it in the St. Martin's Day tag, happy second-chance Hallowe'en! If you're not ready to surrender to the onslaught of Christmas, or your Hallowe'en was a bit of a damp squib and you want another bite of the pumpkin, go forth and enjoy...

That said, if you're full steam ahead to Christmas, the Solstice, and all that winter has to offer, visit me @now-winter-comes-slowly as well, for more of the same sort of thing you'll find on this blog, but with a chill wind, the light of a northerly star, and a coating of frost...

can't believe that skeleman has turned on us, and Halloween Prom is tomorrow.

(what a top-tier UM...we are about to be just totally obliterated in the absolute silliest way. what possible use could this power have outside of bringing us to the brink of utter holiday disaster.)

⛓️.2 months till oct.⛓️

October 29th is National Cat Day! Keeping up with highlighting some of the absurd, odd, and strange cuts from our print shop exhibit this month, Howard letterpress printed an electrotype (copy of a woodcut) made about 125-130 years ago from the Lewis Winter Collection.

Like this item printed, there are other cuts made by Lewis Winter in the collection that depict animals doing out of the ordinary activities. In this case, it’s a cat riding a bicycle. This was printed with blue rubber base ink using our Washington hand press.

This might be a bit corny lol. Admittedly, I'm not really satisfied with how this turned out (might tweak things later maybe), but it's been so long since I've drawn anything and I wanted to get something out by Halloween at least, so this will have to do. u_u

Toronto People: Yall Wanna See Me At A Night Market?

because instagram seems to be stalking me, I've been shown that applications for the toronto night market for this weekend (13th to the 15) are open - if I manage to snag a table, would anyone be available for in-person print pickups, custom calligraphy, etc this weekend?

I'll reblog this at a more reasonable hour too
