It’s fifth grade all over again

In recent days, I was thinking about @adamarks’ meta on Simon’s wings again, and it spawned a little sketch: Baz, kissing the crest of Simon’s wings. I just loved the idea of such an intimate touch to the part of Simon that is both his boon and his burden, and the more I drew it, the more I retreated fully into the idea. The result was a much larger piece of art and poetry to match it.

For those who struggle with fonts, here is the poem:

coc Day 13: Below the Surface 

“He’s not a monster. He’s just a villain.”

I’d saved this one to post for Simon Snow’s Birthday (June 21).

This piece was commissioned in monochrome by rossmalachi on Instagram for a tattoo. He requested a Snowbaz rendering of “The Lovers” tarot card with a composition based on comic art of Wiccan and Hulkling. The end result was this picture, which takes a few visual cues from the Rider-Waite tarot deck as well.

According to Llewellyn’s Complete Book of Tarot, this card signifies “an important choice that will significantly alter the course of one’s life… The association of the card with the [air] sign Gemini suggests love between individuals that can endure for an eternity.”

Here’s hoping, birthday boy. My fingers are crossed.
