I make art sometimes

WHAT?!

I study graphic design and my tutor recommended and used this in his classes at art college last year, it’s so good it has SO many features for free, I really recommend it, even if you’re just trying to learn the basics of PS, such a wonderful thing <3

I use this and it’s fucken great. No bullshit. Really works. Sometimes the world is kind.

I need to post more about the graphic novel I' want to write I'm working on. It's still in the loose planning stage, but it's the one Kestrel is from. The working title is Beasts of Burden, it's set in an alternate, fantasy version of 1920s America in a circus sideshow. There are lots of themes I want to incorporate, but for now I'm working on researching and making sure it's generally accurate before I start adding fantasy elements. So if anyone knows good resources about antiquated carnivals and what living in them was like, especially people subjected to "freak show" conditions, send them my way!

By the way, I did find a resource for this! It's Freak Show: Presenting Human Oddities for Amusement and Profit by Robert Bogdan. It's somewhat outdated now, especially in the language (it's originally from 1988) but it's very comprehensive about how the institution developed and how people were treated. And DAMN it's fascinating.

You know I'm serious about writing this graphic novel because I'm doing background and environmental design for it
