Kinuko Y. Craft, ‘Goblin Market’ (Playboy, 1973) accompanying an abridged edition of Christina Rossetti’s 1862 poem
“She cried, Laura, up the garden,
“Did you miss me?
Come and kiss me.
Never mind my bruises,
Hug me, Kiss me, suck my juices
Squeez’d from goblin fruits for youu
Goblin pulp and Goblin dew.
Eat me, drink me, love me,
Laura make much of me...” (l.464-472, Rossetti, 1862.)

Jeanette Winterson's Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit is such an amazing semi-autobiographical novel because it is beautifully written, undeniably witty, and deeply sad story about a girl coming to terms with queerness. and it was published in '85. but it's also got so much great stuff about neglectful parents and it makes me shred couch cushions.
the main symbol in the book, the titular orange, is used to represent the neglect Jeanette faces at home. any time Jeanette's Mother is unable or unwilling to meet the emotional needs of her young daughter, she hands her an orange. like, every time. and it's kind of bizarre when and where she'll dole them out. Jeanette gets oranges in the hospital, at church, while walking around town. oranges as a response are so ingrained in Jeanette that when she has gone deaf and can't get her mother's attention, she just takes an orange and tries to sleep it off. like any time she needs a parental figure or someone to help her, she either gets an orange, is given an orange, or goes to someone else because her mother is too engrossed in her evangelism.
and the most depressing thing about choosing oranges as the symbol for neglect is that they have such a hard peel. like of all the most common fruit in europe and america, oranges are arguably the hardest for kids to reasonably open by themselves. even bananas, which also have a peel, are easily opened by most kids Jeanette's age. but oranges require work. you have to spend time getting to the actual sustenance in there. which is an amazing parallel to the way Jeanette's mom takes care of her kid. she provides all of the material goods necessary for a decent life (the family is poor but not destitute by any means), and even some community in the form of church (as toxic as it may be), but she does not provide any labor for her child. she refuses to do emotional labor, which is mirrored by the fact that the oranges are given to Jeanette in the place of emotional intimacy, regulation, and care. Jeanette has to do that part herself. in all ways, she is given the orange, but it never comes pre-peeled. she will always have to peel those oranges herself. she will always need to be the adult in her own life, because she does not have a mother who is willing to do it for her.

If you want to make your day a little more surreal, you could do worse than read up on the Pre-Raphaelites and their obsession with wombats.
Here's a small sample of the madness.
"The wombat is a joy, a triumph, a delight, a madness." - Dante Gabriel Rosetti
"One like a wombat prowled obtuse and furry" - Christina Rosetti

Some mushrooms for spooky season.
I did the original copic and pencil version of this art for Inktober 2019, but I'd never got around to doing a digital version. Finally did it today and uploaded it to my Redbubble store, because I decided I needed a mushroom tshirt.
If there's any literary quotes you like that you'd like to have on a water bottle, or tshirt or laptop case, let me know. I haven't uploaded anything there for a couple of years, so it definitely could use some new art.

🍇 Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti, visually interpreted by Omar Rayyan
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
“We must not look at goblin men,
We must not buy their fruits:
Who knows upon what soil they fed
Their hungry thirsty roots?”
A poem-story about two sisters, one who falls to the temptation of the Goblin Market, and another who will do anything to save her sister.
I love this poem a lot, it’s one of my absolute favorite Rossetti poems and it’s paired so beautifully with Omar Rayyan’s talented watercolors. And to read how he did this as a passion project instead of a publisher commission makes it even better! Let yourself be immersed in the beauty, the danger, the temptation of the Goblin Market.
