Notes:
1. Written between February 2025 and June 2025
2. And illustrated in June 2025
3. Originally on little cards, the words on one side, the pictures on the other.
4. Like miniature tarot cards or something
5. If tarot cards came with poems on them
6. Which I presume they don’t
7. Anyway, I apologise for the abject quality of a few of the illustrations
8. Especially the attempt at an aerial view of the field over the park
9. And also the magician in his hat
10. And maybe even all of the others
11. (I quite like the crow though)
12. And the slightly terrible whirlwind one is a tribute to this picture of a terrifying tornado in The Citadel Of Chaos.
13. Then again everything I do is a tribute to The Citadel Of Chaos
14. Also everything here was largely inspired by Leonora Carrington‘s Beasts series
15. Which I would spend hours looking at every couple of days
16. In an astonishingly good exhibition at Firstsite in Colchester
17. That ran through most of the bleakness of last winter
18. Also if you’ve found yourself all the way down here, you can download a pdf/ebook of this below
19. If for some reason you like it enough to want it on your phones or whatever
