Stunning print by Michele Maule. You can find it here.

I have thing for whales. Big Fish. I’m not sure why, though I do think immersing myself for months in the text of Jonah during graduate school probably played a role. The whole Jonah metaphor figures big in my life. . . but that is a different story.

And while I don’t actually collect “whale” things in real life. . . (Pretty sure that would trigger a hoarding impulse in me —  “Oh, so you really like whales!”) I find myself pinning and hearting whale things often. It’s not exactly an addiction or anything.  Just a minor obsession. 

How amazing is this whale? I need this, right? Fabulously created by Adatine. You can find it here. 

And at the risk of provoking the ire of all my literarily minded friends: this is EXACTLY what you should be doing with Melville. . .

The House of Ismay rocking all things literary.

And sometimes, I buy tiny little jumpers in tiny little whale prints and send them to tiny little babies.  ♥
