About Thistle and Tale Press

Thistle & Tale Press is a small, independent studio run by Joshua Milligan and Rebecca Bloom—two artists and single parents raising neurodivergent kids. At Thistle & Tale Press, we create vivid, whimsical art with a storytelling spirit, inspired by the real lives we’re living: parenting, resilience, connection with nature, animals, humor, and the everyday magic that helps us get through and often makes us giggle. All of our cards and prints are produced in small batches and printed on eco-friendly, sustainably sourced paper. We care about quality, accessibility, and making art that feels alive, bright, and full of character. At our core, we’re two working parents building something meaningful for our families—one illustrated tale at a time.Read their story
