Deep Dark Forest Notecards and Journal

Now available from Chronicle Books!

I’m very excited to announce something that has been in the works for years: Chronicle Books in San Francisco has published my work as a gorgeous set of notecards, as a journal, and there’s a 2025 wall calendar coming out in July 2024 (links to pre-order below). You’ll find them in stationery shops, museum gift shops, and hopefully your favourite local indie bookstore too. The designers at Chronicle did a lovely job; the notecard box has some beautiful moss details on the sides, and the whole set has a really nice vintage natural history museum vibe to it, while still feeling contemporary. The journal has a similar feel, with sections of blank, lined, and grid paper, and is perfect for recording plant observations or musings on how terrific moss and mushrooms are. I hope you’ll pick up a set for the forest lovers in your life!
