June Skin Horse Wallpaper (Patreon)

This month's wallpaper illustration is based on the children's book A Visit to William Blake's Inn, written by Nancy Willard and illustrated by the husband/wife team of Alice and Martin Provensen, who drew lots of beautiful children's books in American folk art styles.

Nancy Willard, who passed away this February, was one of my college professors and among the most wonderful people I've known.  Her classes on folklore, fairy tales, and children's literature provided some of my happiest memories of Vassar.  I wanted to do a special illustration in her honor, but Skin Horse in general owes a lot to Nancy.

As always, along with the new wallpaper you get a classic from the archives: in this case, my sweet midcentury modern Black Ops travel poster.  Thanks so much for your Patreonage!
