Potion Spill Color + Rosemary's Bedroom Window

Added 2025-10-17 17:00:11 +0000 UTC

I kind of like the limited color version of the Potion Spill illustration I shared the other day, so I kept it separate. I feel a little bad for the witch that might have a heart shaped burn on her calf, but I suppose we all learn painful lessons at times.

I'm toying with Rosemary as a name for the witch on the reading bench. When you draw the same face so many times it feels a little unfair to not have at least a first name. I kinda suspect she might stick around too, who knows! :)

I imagine the first thing that comes to mind when people hear Rosemary is Rosemary's Baby, but I always either think Rosemary Clooney or, even better - Michele Lee's character Rosemary Pilkington from "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" (1967) which some of you may already know I enjoy... ;)

I could probably be more creative than endless flower and plant names but I think using a simple Pokemon Professor-type naming logic reminds me that the name won't save me if I write a good bad story and will be incidental if it's a good one.

Happy Friday!💖
