Actually in our newsletter we see our very own @aledlewis.bsky.social is back in the news with the arrival of the Boyo Tapestry to these shores. He's Welsh. Oh forget it. Potato fonts! A Gravity Falls art book! (via @danielgray.com). Other stuff! pook.design/the-wood-pil...

Hiya, us again. In this week's newsletter we try out Glyphs from @glyphsapp.com, ogle a beautiful grimoire, gravid with grim folk art from @gravegoodspub.bsky.social, while trying to work out what the fuck we're going to do with the kids for the next two weeks. pook.design/the-wood-pil...
