THE BOOK
BLOODTIDE is a new/primordial holiday I’m proposing. Everybody is invited to join me in celebrating it, anytime in the next 450 million years. During the pandemic, with the help of the editors at 3rd Thing Press, I wrote and illustrated this proposal, manual and field notes for holiday activation. The book in it’s 2nd edition and 4th(?!) printing with over 2000 copies sold.
A portion of all book sales and paid gigs related to Bloodtide activations go to Black and Indigenous land and healing projects local to where the holiday is activated.
BOOK TALK / SUITCASE SHOW!
I welcome you to invite me to come give my holiday proposal suitcase show to your class, congregation, adventure club or science fair. This improvisational alternative to a book talk can be 10 minutes to an hour, on zoom or in the flesh/carapace.
Drawing prompts and optional crabaoke singing- geared toward any age age group or zone of interest.
Pay what you can // $450 dollars an hour / million years
BOOK CLUB!
Two or more friends is a book club!
It’s my delight to sell you and your book club some discounted copies of BLOODTIDE in bulk and then zoom in for a conversation and some drawing prompts or crabaoke or just as a crab on the wall. DIY it with pals or glad to connect with your local bookstore, library or community group.
UPCOMING!
