We wanted to say Thank You to everyone we love and worked with last year. Everyone who held us and supported us through a very difficult time, with our Willow rejoining the stars. To convey our wishes for this year to be everything you need and hope it to be. So…

We made you a mixtape. Sort of. It goes beyond music and pretty photos on a calendar featuring our beloved muse, Willow. These are 12 (ok 13) of our favorite photographs we ever made together. Her Greatest Hits, if you will. They won no awards and many never got published until now; but they are as treasured as the songs that accompany them.

Each month features a song that either inspired the image in the first place, or evokes the feeling of it. We also added a favorite lyric from each song.

Like any good mixtape, it is eclectic and put together with so much thought and care. It is our Thank You to you all, who continue to love our Goodest Girl. Thank you for all your love and support, now and always.

Scan the QR code on the cover to go directly to Willow’s Mixtape (ahem… playlist for those not familiar with cassette tapes). We hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed creating it for you, in honor of our Willow the Wild.

Get yours here:

And so, our Halloween series comes to its grand finale tonight as our goodest girl takes a bow. Thank you all for 13 years of Halloween magic. I really hope you'll head to the blog and read about this, Our Elders' Campfire Stories.

Our Willow the Wild | 2012 -2025
Our Canis Luna forever.

Dear friends, we have been quiet here the last few weeks. We feel a little (a lot) lost without the giant heart of our home. Our most beloved lady, our Willow the Wild, peacefully rejoined the stars on October 16th.

She is lighting up our night sky together again with her brothers Corbin and Artemis, along with so many dearly missed old friends.

We have a lot to say about her, a lot to celebrate about her life and work (because that girl did some INCREDIBLE work) and we feel her story is worth taking the time to write faithfully and full of heart… and our heart is pretty broken since her departure.

We’ll be sharing some of our favorite projects we created together, beginning with our favorite legacy of hers, our yearly Halloween project that spanned the whole of her 13 years on earth.

Thank you for your understanding of our silence and absence. Thank you for your patience in our delay to reply or deliver. We are doing our best to remember how to breathe in the same space we shared with our goodest girl that now feels devoid of music and magic.

So much more to come. She deserves nothing short of our very best tribute. I’ll make sure of it.

My Canis Luna, I’m so grateful for every bit of your stardust. I miss you so terribly. I love you fiercely and forever.

I’ll be looking at the moon, but I’ll be seeing You.

Around here, we honor the dogs that have changed the game for us, guiding us through life like a ship navigating by the stars.
We give them a title of honor: Canis Major 🌌

To continue celebrating our Leeloo kitty’s 21st birthday however, I wanted to enlist your help in figuring out a feline version of this honor title. Because cats have their own intense magic and medicine. Anyone lucky to have been loved by one knows this. What could it be? Felis Maximus?
