@TillLukat @7StoriesPress to our bookkeeper on Monday.

Everyone who hasn't gotten the final installment will receive it in the coming week since the book was originally slated to be out by now.

@TillLukat @7StoriesPress Sorry for the confusion. The book has been pushed back several times, but the firm release date is now December 7, 2021.

The final payment installment is due upon publication, although our internal spreadsheet shows a number of contribs already got it, which is odd. We'll talk

This paper cinema retelling of the Odyssey looks amazing, thought you might like it, @emmabridges. It also reminded me of the lovely shadow puppetry workshop we did with @SlavicekTinka last year 🥰

Just finished drawing my Roman poets collection. I'm so in love with them and very proud. This may be my new art style.
