Hey if you're over on IG, my handle there is @angalgonquin. Same kind of stuff...bookstores, authors, translators, cats, publishers, animal sanctuaries, cats, history, polar exploration, et al.

I don't post much, but a lot of indie bookstores not on Bluesky are on IG. Hundreds!

A page of ink drawings of stick figures and strange architecture.

I drew the cover for a new edition of lost sci-fi classic 'Woman Alive' by Susan Ertz. It is out now from @manderleypress.bsky.social

Four-panel caricature painting in progress of the four principal incarnations of Edmund Blackadder, as played by Rowan Atkinson. There is one Blackadder per diamond-shaped panel, and all four are now blocked out in colour.

Today's painting progress on the quartet of Blackadders.

A beautifully kept copy of the 1920-ish Grosset & Dunlap edition of "The Haunted Bookshop" by Christopher Morley. The jacket is freshly covered in a protective sleeve, and the book came professionally wrapped in brown paper and bubble wrap, with a free (and very striking) bookmark. This was a very well packaged book!

Just want to give a shout out to our neighbors Source Bookstore in Davenport, Iowa, who sent this surprise package to us.

This is so thoughtful! I love that my colleagues are so kind πŸ“šβ€οΈ
