An SPP Valentine from my wife
Jeanne’s gotten herself hooked on this thing called SuperPoke! Pets.
And she’s turned it into a major playground, building elaborate constructed environments. With pets at the center. Grendl is her dragon. The whole thing has a manga-like feel.
My Valentine from my wife (above) took hours to build and features my absolute favorite food, crab. (It’s a San Francisco thing.

Jessica’s initials
HE incredible Jessica Hische is also from Hazleton, PA.
Knows what a good Eastern Pennsylvania snack pitza is. Knows about this thing called Root Liquor (which I didn’t know about; I just know about Birch Beer, my favorite beverage from back there). And she’s been doing a drop cap a day for a few months now.
Drop caps, initial caps go wayyyy back – mainstays of illuminated manuscripts, and they’re part of the reason we’re still using caps today (for beginnings of sentences, names).
Jessica provides code to add caps to your own blog. Grab em here.
ND, as of last month, the caps are available as prints. Archival, on velvet coated fine art paper.
But that’s not all. Jessica has a bunch of other cool stuff in her store, including this wonderful ‘Day-Runining’ notepad (pics below). The pad has individual sheets one can send to unruly clients who don’t pay for your services, waste your time and – of course – ruin your day.
Order the pad here. Order the Drop Cap prints here.
