A Time for Burrowing: And Other Like-Minded Scribbles Regarding the Human Condition

Athanas takes a comical, quirky, and often irreverent look at the world he inhabits through a series of one-panel watercolor paintings. Layered with simple, original poems, “bad” homophones, and personal reflections, A Time for Burrowing marks his first foray into book form.

Humorous, eye-catching, and mildly acerbic, the collection moves from the tale of an accidentally conceived crustacean-human hybrid wronged by his family, to a medieval lad who makes his living juggling chickens, to a submarine captain cracking under pressure of the deep—alongside a sharp dismantling of everyday human foibles.

And that’s just the tip of it.

Call it humorous. Call it off-kilter.
Just don’t call it cute.
