as if I was seeing a familiar shore, after a long long journey.

I recently begun reading the Raffles stories and I've been enjoying them so much... here is the first of potentially many pieces as I keep reading!

I read Lin Darrow's Pyre at the Eyreholm Trust a while ago and I keep thinking about it... it's such a vibrant story, so I wanted to make something for it in a vibrant colour.

Another piece for Timekeeper by Tara Sim as I wait to get my hands on the second book... I tried to go all out on drawing lots of gears for this one!

I finished Timekeeper by Tara Sim the other day and WOW, what a book! There was so much about it I loved and I wanted to channel some of that into a piece for one of my favourite parts.

I've done my favourite line of his in the Bonus Stage so here's my favourite in the main game! He is very loved and deserves so much.

I’ve been rereading Naomi Novik’s Spinning Silver on audiobook this time! I paused it to write down this line to do in calligraphy while I kept listening, it was one of my favourite lines the first time I read the book too.

The night swallowed him up like a thieving fox.

The dawn will light up the world tomorrow. The night will dim with the fallen snowflakes, shining in a dream.

Love speaks in flowers. Truth requires thorns.

The sisters mean a lot to me...

Last night played and loved Midnight Train by @midnighttrain-project last night! I'm so excited for future installments and to see where the story goes next. I went with my favourite blue ink for this piece, plus some silver in honour of Luna and the game's moon references 🌙

Today I went with something special from Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows — so many parts of it, including practically every scene with Kaz and Inej is something special to me, but I decided to go with this one because it was one of my first favourites, and the image I had of it in my mind worked with the compressed uncials style I wanted to try again.

Charlie giving her a name that means ‘clear light’ always felt very important, as did her scenes when she gave Charlie and his friends light in dark times, guiding them through the dark halls of Bloor’s Academy and always fluttering down to sit reassuringly on Charlie’s head.
