Once a week, I share a short illustrated essay, hand-painted and hand-lettered, from my desk to yours. Like wishing on a dandelion, I hope it’ll bring a moment of beauty and wonder to your day.
Short character-driven fiction, evocative travel tales, memoirs and a lot of laughs. Always free. 🌿LEAVES are proven to be better for your mental health than the daily newspaper or social media.
