Renaissance faires have their own kind of atmosphere.
The costumes, the food, the strange little details, the way everyone agrees to step into another world for the day.

That is exactly the kind of setting this piece belongs in.
A plague doctor, printed through an old intaglio process, set inside a new ornate frame that feels like it has been waiting for him.

I’ll have only 6 of these framed pieces available at the Janesville Renaissance Faire this weekend.
If you are coming, look for the frame with the doctor watching from inside it.
It feels like he belongs there.

I make carved prints and book-adjacent objects from the practice of lingering in medieval margins.

That practice does not only live on the page. It shows up anywhere details ask you to slow down.

This print came from my time with Sagrada Família in Barcelona, especially the feeling of standing inside a space where every surface seemed to hold another pattern, another color, another reason to look again.

I approached the piece the same way I approach old books and margins: slowly, one section at a time, letting the details build instead of trying to take everything in at once.

The work became a record of that attention.

If you are someone who lingers with old books, quiet spaces, and details most people pass over, you are in the right place.

This was taken in Ireland, not long after I had spent the day moving through old buildings and quiet spaces.

I remember slowing down more than usual. Looking longer. Not really trying to take everything in, just letting certain things hold my attention.

It gave me a different kind of space. Less noise, more clarity about what I actually notice when I’m not rushing.

I still come back to that feeling more than anything else.

This is where the work comes from.

Independent bookstores always feel a little different.

Quieter. Slower. Like you’re allowed to take your time and stay with something longer than you planned to.

Places like make that kind of space possible, especially on days like Independent Bookstore Day.

These pieces came out of that same kind of attention.
Something that feels like it could already exist inside the story, not just mark your place in it.

I’ll have these with me tomorrow.

If you’ve ever lost track of time in a place like this, you already know.

I’ve never been able to treat books as something you move through quickly.

I stop.
Go back.
Stay longer than I meant to.

And I’ve always needed something to hold my place while I do that.

Not just anything, but something that feels like it belongs there.

These came out of that habit.

The same kind of attention I bring to the margins, just carried into something you can keep inside the page.

I’ll have these with me for Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday at

The margins are where things get a little strange.

Not polished, not explained, just… added.
Creatures like this feel less like decoration and more like something someone needed to include.

If you spend enough time with manuscripts, you start to notice how much attention lives out here.
Not in the center, but around it.

That kind of looking changes how you see everything else.

I’ve been drawn to spaces like this for as long as I can remember.

Not for the scale, but for the details that take time to notice. The way your eye moves, the way patterns repeat, the feeling that you could stand in one spot and still not take it all in.

I tend to slow down without really thinking about it. I stop, go back, look again.

That’s why it’s stuck with me. It gives me a way to pay attention that feels natural.

My work usually starts from that same place.
