Flutch:
An HK Tangler Tangle Pattern
Flutch is a tangle that came to me while I was drawing Boofont, by Joanna Quincey. I started playing with the idea of Hollibaugh-ing under the leaves with a triangle shape. A couple hours later, *this* had happened. The name? Well that is a lovely story. When I...

Two Left Feet:
A Tangelation of Diva Dance
