Once upon a time, my Etsy store was dedicated to the jewelry I’ve always made. It was called Cardinal Directions, because I’ve always liked compasses and the clear directness the cardinal directions have conveyed. Few things are simple and clear, but they are.

Then I realized that what I really want to spend my time on is my art and my storytelling. Suddenly, my zines and comics took over my Etsy store. The inventory changed, but the design and description of it didn’t.

I finally sorted that out. New banner, new title, same URL: Cardinal Directions. I’ve added a dozen prints I made of watercolor/ink drawings from the first three months of this year. I also have an item delightfully called “The Complete Works of Breanne Boland.” What better time to acquire an author’s omnibus than early in their career? I certainly cannot think of one.

I’m continuing my post-con recuperation and thus have drawn nearly nothing this week, excluding doodles at meetings at work. I am in sponge mode, reading (currently The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks, with several other books waiting in the wings) and sleeping and waiting to stop being tired. I expect it to happen at about five pm Saturday, when I awaken from a planned 12-plus hours of sleep.

Speaking of…
