Connecting New Friends! Plus, Adem Tepedelen

A Monday morning hello.

An interesting thing happened a few weeks ago during my interview with Allison Gunn. As we talked, I kept thinking, “She needs to be friends with Katy Horan.” Katy, as you may remember, is an illustrator (most widely known for her work on the Literary Witches book and oracle deck) who grew up in the South (Texas), loves all things creepy, is inspired by horror films and folklore, and is a self-proclaimed goofball who loves to poke fun at herself. Allison, as I discovered during our chat, grew up in the Appalachian South, loves all things creepy, is inspired by horror films and folklore, and is a self-proclaimed weirdo who loves to poke fun at herself. These two should be besties!!!

I told Allison all about Katy and she immediately followed her on Instagram. I sent Katy a DM about Allison and soon noticed she was following Katy back. And I dunno, guys. I think this is my new line of work: connecting artsy outcasts who can hopefully use their weird, wonderful work to make the world a bet…
