vertical cities available again
It’s been a busy couple of months. I’m in the home stretch with Vertical Carnival, which should be off to print at the end of the year. Vertical Cities is back in my Etsy shop as a revised second edition, jam-packed with even more detail than before – it will also be available in December [...]
