this great unstable mass of blood and foam

Reindeer in gouache and pencil done from photos i took in Inari, Finland in March. These are racing reindeer from the reindeer-racing King championship final held on the frozen Lake Inari which happened to be on during our visit!

i see a lot of people on tumblr and twitter say that stratt was wrong and doesnt understand grace. “she thought he needed traditional relationships to be happy, but she doesn’t get that he has students and casual friends!”

i think that’s an incorrect assessment of the situation. it’s extremely explicit esp in the book that grace (despite being friendly and very well liked) maintains distance from other people and doesn’t consider himself to have any close relationships or friendships. he has coworkers and old pals he’d grab a beer with but he does not have (and has maybe never had) anyone he would die for or even risk his life for. (in stratt’s opinion, because he is scared.)
