love, snow ✨

“Go,” she says. “He waits for you.”

Meet me in the pouring rain, kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain. 🎶

I’m crowning this extra cheesy and soft Snowbaz’ fanart with a Taylor Swift song? Yes. In my mind they were on a date in London were Baz read books and Simon ate curry, hahaha.

Kevin : this one has potential.

INK-A-THON DAY 25: WIND

The wind is blowing Simon’s hair straight, and he’s squinting—from the sun and from all the smiling. “What!” he shouts at me again.

“You’re so beautiful!” I shout back.

He turns the radio down, so now there’s just the wind and the engine noise to shout over. “What’d you say?!”

“Nothing!”

INK-A-THON DAY 27: NASTY

Baz takes my Frappuccino and sucks down a huge gulp. “Disgusting.” He hands it back to me. “Not like unicorn at all.”

- Wayward Son by @rainbowrowell

Had to pull out the colored Copics and acrylic paint pens for this one because there’s really no way to do a grayscale Unicorn Frappuccino and retain the same effect. LOL

Happy 5 Year Anniversary to Carry On by @rainbowrowell

WE ARE DOING THIS THING, Y’ALL! 

So, it was brought to my attention yesterday that the official Inktober guy Jake Parker is embroiled in scandal thanks to plagiarizing the work of artist of color Alfonso Dunn in his book Inktober All Year Long. For this reason, I’ve made my own Inktober prompt list this year. It was compiled with input from @argylefetish, @carryonsimoncarryonbaz​, and my hubs to ensure it’s as random as I could make it. (Goodness knows I can’t make things easy for myself, now can I?)

Per the votes of many Instagrammers, Wayward Son is this year’s Ink-a-thon theme, continuing the Simon Snow series tradition from last year. Generally, I’m giving myself about 2 hours each night to do illustrations based on the book in good old permanent ink, so please manage expectations and do be kind. 

(As you can see, I’ve got my work cut out for me. 😅)

If YOU would like to use this list, please go right ahead! I’d love to see what it inspires!

INK-A-THON DAY 13: FORMAL

It’s an extra generous spill of curls. More golden than ever from all these days in the sun. That haircut cost more than his entire wardrobe.

Andrew & Kevin:

What if Ryan Foxheart had met a guy named Sam Haversford? It’d be HaveHeart! It practically wrote itself.
