The Art Fairy is Really a Vampire
I've discovered the Fairy's secret. She doesn't sleep.

Ever.

Traditional line art takes time and skill. Most of our art takes a week or more for the artist to produce. A block print requires sketching, cutting, and finally printing and drying.

I gave Ruth the request on Friday. She was out on business the entire weekend, then provided a sketch on Monday. The block was printed and dried sometime early this morning.

Ask any artist and they will tell you that this is technically impossible. And yet, here is the proof. (It needs to be cleaned some, but otherwise...)

And the crazy,crazy, crazy thing is, all of You are just as talented and hard working. You're an amazing band of writers and artists, and it has been a privilege to work with you all. Now let's publish this dog.
