    Uncanny Visitations: A Book of Beasts and Aberrations

    My name is Rebecca Flaum and I draw the strange things that visit me in the night. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. I started the 100 Days Project this past Spring expecting to draw a series of happy animals and cute things, but what came out of my pen ended up much stranger…

    Designing Barbarous

    So, I really love Barbarous. I reread the minibook of the design and process for Barbarous again (I have it digital) and just… it’s so great to see the process other artists go through for story and design. I’ve been following Yuko and Ananth since… woof, since the beginning of Johnny Wander? Since before that…

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.


What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
