After listening to Babel: An Arcane History by R.F. Kuang, I really needed to draw something to get my feelings out of my system! Hope you like it!

Milestone Monday
On this day, July 3 in 1883, the Czech-Austrian author Franz Kafka was born into a middle-class German-speaking Czech Jewish family in Prague, and became one of the major figures of 20th-century literature before his death in 1924. Known for his sullen narratives that fuse the real and the surreal, Kafka explored themes of alienation, existential anxiety, guilt, and absurdity.
In remembrance of Kafka's 140th birthday anniversary, we present original lithographs by printmaker, letterpress printer, papermaker, and book artist Claire Van Vliet illustrating short stories and a fragment by Kafka on the theme of the Tower of Babel, which Van Vliet includes in your anthology The Tower of Babel, printed by Van Vliet in 1975 at her Janus Press in West Burke, Vermont, in an edition of 110 copies signed by the artist.
Van Vliet includes three of Kafka's very short stories -- "The Great Wall and the Tower of Babel," "The Tower of Babel," "The City Coat of Arms" -- and a fragment, "The Pit of Babel," in which Kafka writes, "What are you building? I want to dig a passage. A progress has to happen. My position is too elevated. We are digging the pit of Babel."
Our copy of the anthology is another gift from our friend Jerry Buff.

Day 2: Who’s your favorite writer?
Mark Waid is simply the most gifted writer whose works I’ve had the pleasure of reading. I love how he’s able to mix the classic and the modern, especially as seen in his current World’s Finest run.
