In Russian folklore, for example, a largely mycophilic genre in which tales frequently link mushrooms to magic, the witch Baba Yaga possesses a “dual character.” She can morph, in an instant, from cruel to generous. As kids, my sister and I would curl into either side of my mother as she read the Slavic folktale to us in her terrifying witch-voice. In this version of the story, Baba Yaga hunts for mushrooms in the forest, where she encounters a hedgehog nosing around for fungi. Although the witch at first considers eating the animal, she decides to spare it. The hedgehog then turns into a boy with supernatural powers. Baba Yaga is also affiliated with the benevolent spirits who live under mushrooms, Dugan notes, and she often appears in illustrations standing in a dense, wild wood, a crop of red-capped fungi at her feet.

From a cool essay about slavic & cultural attitudes towards mushrooms. Includes a “Mushroom Death Suit” that the wearer is buried in that enables fungal growth + supports the ecosystem

It Comes Unadorned

It comes Unadorned Like a phrase Strong enough to cast a spell; It comes Unbidden, Like the turn of sun through hills Or stars in wheels of song. The jeweled feet of women dance the earth. Arousing it to spring. Shoulders broad as a road bend to share the weight of years. Profiles breach the distance and lean Toward an ordinary kiss. Bliss. It comes naked into the world like a charm.

“The sentence is the site of your enterprise with words, the locale where language either comes to a head or does not. The sentence is a situation of words in the most literal sense: words must be situated in relation to others to produce an enduring effect on a reader. As you situate the words, you are of course intent on obeying the ordinances of syntax and grammar, unless any willful violation is your ­purpose—and you are intent as well on achieving in the arrangements of words as much fidelity as is possible to whatever you believe you have wanted to say or describe. A lot of writers—many of them—unfortunately seem to stop there. They seem content if the resultant sentence is free from obvious faults and is faithful to the lineaments of the thought or feeling or whatnot that was awaiting deathless expression. But some other writers seem to know that it takes more than that for a sentence to cohere and flourish as a work of art. They seem to know that the words inside the sentence must behave as if they were destined to belong together—as if their separation from each other would deprive the parent story or novel, as well as the readerly world, of something life-bearing and essential. These writers recognize that there needs to be an intimacy between the words, a togetherness that has nothing to do with grammar or syntax but instead has to do with the very shapes and sounds, the forms and contours, of the gathered words. This intimacy is what we mean when we say of a piece of writing that it has a felicity—a fitness, an aptness, a rightness about the phrasing. The words in the sentence must bear some physical and sonic resemblance to each other—the way people and their dogs are said to come to resemble each other, the way children take after their parents, the way pairs and groups of friends evolve their own manner of dress and gesture and speech. A pausing, enraptured reader should be able to look deeply into the sentence and discern among the words all of the traits and characteristics they share. The impression to be given is that the words in the sentence have lived with each other for quite some time, decisive time, and have deepened and grown and matured in each other’s company—and that they cannot live without each other.” — by Garielle Lutz

Timelapse of the drawing the Cornavirus News comic I made for @believermag the other day.Note how I kept adding to the canvas to fit more panels. I knew it would be scrolling formatted so I tried not to worry too much about formatting. Had to eventually break it into two files because I was bumping up against Procreate’s layer limit. ✖️✖️✖️ Music is by iMarkkeys using sample of Cardi B freaking out ( go find the YouTube video, it’s worth it). ✖️✖️✖️ # illustration #cartoonists #cartoonist #cartooning #coronavirus #shitisreal #illustrators #lifeduringcoronavirus ##arttimelapse ✖️✖️✖️ (at Studio Quarantine) https://www.instagram.com/p/B943HGmhp5S/?igshid=1h156qyeqmp31
