But! I just had to check and see if there was even a single early review for The Art of the Unknown out there in the world...and there is!16 Jul 2026 11:59 +0000at://did:plc:c6l2lo6jyllp2ohxtq267xon/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqr6qow3zs2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/mlleghoul.bsky.social/post/3mqmllhkcg22fFriends! Who are your favorite creators and conjurors of witchy visual art? Maybe they are witchly-inclined themselves, or perhaps they are drawn to the subject matter? I am asking for REASONS.

While I was writing this, I read everything, everything! My further reading list is much less useful than a standard bibliography but perhaps way more interesting!10 Jul 2026 18:15 +0000at://did:plc:c6l2lo6jyllp2ohxtq267xon/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqcqxbwa3k2phttps://bsky.app/profile/mlleghoul.bsky.social/post/3mq7lxx43pk2hThree years since my dad died. I hadn’t spoken to him in many years but I was coming round (or maybe in retrospect I wish I was.) He was an artist and a major weirdo. I got my love of wordplay, absurdist humor, and Heavy Metal magazine from him. Also my wide smile, squinty eyes and frizzy hair.09 Jul 2026 12:08 +0000at://did:plc:c6l2lo6jyllp2ohxtq267xon/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq7lxx43pk2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/mlleghoul.bsky.social/post/3mq7hl2s4xs2gThe brilliant smallinklings has painted a portrait of our little Lucy, depicting our cranky old lady as a saintly beast, Our Lady of Perpetual Hope, always trusting that a crumb of toast or a crispy bit of salmon skin might fall into her mouth.
