Another sample page from my new fruit-foraging zine, Fruit For Free! If you live in the eastern US, these trees are almost certainly growing down the block from you somewhere.

If you'd like to read the whole comic, covering this and many other types of easily-foraged fruit, you can get it as a free or pay-what-you-want PDF here!

The world may be in crisis, but the mulberries are ripe, and they taste just as good as ever.

The world may be in crisis, but the fireflies came out at dusk yesterday. And they will come out again tonight, and tomorrow, too.

The world may be in crisis. But today a breeze stirred my hair and cooled my face, and it eased the heat of the summer sun and I took a deep breath and I breathed.

The world may be in crisis, but a stranger smiled at me, and a dog found a good home, and a toddler told his baby sister he loved her.

The world may be in crisis, but the world still holds people who are working to heal it.

The world may be in crisis, but there is still a world. And the world contains us, the world contains love, the world contains beauty. And the mulberries are ripe.

There is still a world.

Picking mulberries in my backyard. I repotted this container fruit tree 3 weeks ago and it seems to be doing just fine.

It’s not easy

Being green

Spending everyday

The color of the leaves

When I think it would be nicer

To be red

Yellow or gold

Or something much more colorful

Like that

… [but]

I am green and it’ll do fine

It’s beautiful

And I think it’s what I want to be

Fruits of Our Culture Series - MULBERRY

Latest in my series of illustrations exploring the symbolism and folklore behind fruits, while also just drawing pretty plants bcuz they’re pretty.

After internet and IRL actual book researching, I found mulberries had far fewer references than the other fruits I’ve illustrated so far.

The ones in this illustration include...

- silk worms, aka the caterpillars of the domestic silk moth aka bombyx morri, have a diet that is nearly exclusively mulberry leaves.

- mulberries can be found white, red, or black. There is an ancient story which ‘explains’ the reason for this, called Pyramus and Thisbe. They were young lovers from enemy families, and planned to meet one night under a mulberry tree to declare their love. However, when Thisbe arrived she saw a lioness with a bloody mouth, she runs away. When Pyramus arrives, he sees the lioness pawing at Thisbe’s cloak (which she dropped when running away). Pyramus assumes Thisbe was eaten, so he stabs himself through the heart with his sword. When Thisbe saw this, she stabs herself too. All the spraying and splattering blood stained the mulberries of the tree red forever.

- and finally, for something modern; Mulberry brand handbags.

MULBERRIES and all my other Fruits illustrations are available as A5 glossy prints from my Etsy store HERE
