Upon noticing my tattoo (i have the word “contrariwise” on my arm/wrist) and subsequently my Alice in Wonderland obsession, she lent me The Principals of Uncertainty by Maira Kalman, a whimsical book of illustrations and musings about life. It is beautiful and reminded me of my buddy Kris Atomic’s work in a way. I figure it’s always befitting to share a little inspiration. My favorite line from the book (so far):

I WILL GO AND BAKE A HONEY CAKE AND THAT’S ALL.

On a simplicity kick this week? Maybe.
