稲垣知雄  Inagaki Tomoo  (1902-1980)

Glazed bricks depicting a Persian archer, dating back to around 510 BCE, from the city of Susa in the Achaemenid Empire. This glazed brick bas-relief style was perfected in Babylon, and even the Foundation Charter of the Susa palace states that the baked bricks at the palace were the work of the Babylonians. Louvre Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi, UAE.

You might find something like this on your property or along public forest trails. It’s about the same size and shape as a ketchup packet and smells like rotten fish. Believe it or not, this little packet protects you, your pets, and your family. The USDA drops these in areas (including Hamilton County) where raccoon-variant rabies has been known to occur. Raccoons find the packet and eat the contents, and it provides them with immunity to rabies. If you find one, simply leave it where it is, or, if it’s in an area accessible to a pet or child, just put on a pair of gloves and move it. Don’t worry, though— even if it was handled by a human or pet, it doesn’t pose any danger besides an unpleasant odor.

Stripes are not a totally unheard of coat variation in unicorns – but rumor has it that even in regions where it’s more common, most unicorns think them “a bit much.”

That’s right, it’s Junicorn! Last year, as a part of my Unicorn Book Kickstarter, I offered custom unicorn illustrations, and I’m very pleased to finally show them off – everyone came up with such cute prompts, it was a delight to fulfill them~
