This is the back cover of the last edition of the Whole Earth Catalog. I looked it up because it was mentioned by Steve Jobs in his Stanford University Commencement speech on 12th June 2005. If you’ve not already seen it, it’s on YouTube, it’s inspiring and it’s worth a watch.

This vintage gnome appeared. I’m not sure yet if he is staying. I’ve drawn him in case he is just passing through. Such is the wonder and daily intrigue when your other half is a professional Ebay trader.
