@dlibris.bsky.socialReposted by @drkarenlord.bsky.socialGot my copy in the post yesterday but got home too late to do more than flick through, and even on that flick this is a STUNNING volume, you need it in your library
@terriwindling.bsky.socialReposted by @drkarenlord.bsky.socialEach writer in the book chose one or more images from Brian's collection of Green Women paintings, and then gave a name and a voice to each of these mysterious figures in wild and wonderful ways. Here's Brian's introduction to the volume, explaining the inspiration behind it:
@terriwindling.bsky.socialReposted by @drkarenlord.bsky.socialThank you to everyone posting about Brian & Wendy Froud's new book, containing 72 new paintings with literary responses by 37 women writers of diverse backgrounds, landscapes & mythic traditions. Having worked on the project for the last two years, we've all been moved by the enthusiastic response.
@drkarenlord.bsky.social😂 a never to be forgotten moment.
@drkarenlord.bsky.socialMy piece is called ‘Gully Granny’. So amazing to be part of this project with so many talented people!

@terriwindling.bsky.socialReposted by @drkarenlord.bsky.socialJOMA was entirely free (and ad-free), run on human volunteer labour for the 10+ years it was online. We wanted anyone interested in mythic arts to be able to access it, and to connect with others interested in it too. The "community & connection" focus of early internet circles made that possible.
@terriwindling.bsky.socialReposted by @drkarenlord.bsky.socialI agree completely with Malka's thread. I was co-editor of a web journal (The Journal of Mythic Arts) back in the 1990s, when every single page of it had to be coded by hand. It was hard work, but worth it to connect with a wide variety of other writers and artists working with myth & folklore.
