"After all, there's only one more sleep 'til Christmas...day" #themuppetchristmascarol #Christmas #inkdrawing

Throwback to my #inkdrawing of a scene from #TheMuppetChristmasCarol last #festive season!🎄 Keep the spirit of these happy holidays all year 'round, and you may find yourself a brighter future ahead!

You'd better hang up your stockings, or the Yule Cat 🐾might be out to get you this festive season!🎄 #medievalart #yulecat #festive #folklore

During this festive season🎄, it's nice to look back on one of the greatest Christmas stories ever told: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight! The Green Knight wishes you a Merry Christmas (Just don't play any games with him or you might faint!)

Been a while, back with another ink sketch. This time, with the festive season in mind, it's the Mari Lwyd. A welsh wassailing tradition in which a decorated horse skull is taken door to door trying to sing it's way into the home. Best hope you have rhymes in hand, otherwise you owe her a drink!

We do big high profile events and small local events alike and enjoy meeting people at both. Today, the latter, at our local village market which is just a short walk from home. Conveniently set up next to the cake stall :) If you can’t get to a live event, everything is at thefolklorepodcast.com

Been reading The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler and just felt compelled to capture something from it #inkdrawing #illustration

Gotta love that classic taboo trope: "I'll be the best spouse you've ever known, just don't do X" *proceeds to do X* "A'ight, imma peace out, yo"

keeping your kids from reading gay books isn't going to stop them from being gay happy pride!

🏳️‍🌈Happy Pride Month!🏳️‍🌈 Today's #medievalart #illustration is inspired by 'Le Roman de Silence', a literary piece that depicts a girl raised a boy who name themselves 'Silence'. They are accosted by both Nature and Nurture (and Reason), who argue over whether Silence should remain a man. Find yourself!

Another #medievalart #illustration. This time, thinking about the time they dug up a corpse and put it on trial.😅 📜Pope Formosus was a pope that sided with a duke over the king of Italy, leading to the next pope to put his rotting corpse on trial! They mocked his silence and 'grinning' throughout📜

Posting an #inkwork #illustration of Bossk from #starwars I did a while back before I got bogged down with my new 'Cat in crackowes' store and studying!

The Cat in Crackowes now has some new wares! Check out my #etsy shop at catincrackowes.etsy.com/! You've heard of puss in boots? Well meet his medievalist moniker donning some very fashionable, pointy shoes. #medieval #medievalists #illustrations #merchandise

I've just beaten #death'sdoor, a fantastic game I would highly recommend. Such a beautiful world and style! Still haven't finished it entirely, and I intend to dive back in to complete it. For now, here’s a #watercolor #illustration I did of the Reaper / crow.

Tried my hand at another #Pokémon #ukiyo-e style #watercolor #illustration, this time of another of my favourites, Gastly!

Feel I'm getting there with #watercolour, starting with it first before #inking. Another #ukiyo-e inspired #pokémon #illustration of Treecko, the grass starter and lizard-dinosaur thing from Hoenn!

Eadweard Muybridge did this cat motion study in 1887. Just posting it for everyone who thinks Edwardian and late Victorian cats had to sit still for 5 minutes to be photographed. ☺️ www.musee-orsay.fr/fr/oeuvres/c...

Still practising with #watercolours. It's a messy medium, and I'm still making a few mistakes here and there, but it sure is fun creating these cute little #pokémon #illustrations!

My business cards are finally here! ✹ Open for commissions, be it #medievalart, #illustrations, #animation, #modelpainting, or more! ✹

It's #japan day today here in Düsseldorf. Celebrating by watching Dandadan and #watercolour #illustration of Weezing in a mix of #ukiyo-e style and Ken Sugimori's Pokémon watercolours.

Belfast today: March for Trans Rights; 12.30 Writer’s Square. Stand up for human rights & dignity!

Thought I'd try my hand at #animation again for a quick project. So I turned my #medievalart #illustration of a jackalope atop an arachas into a gif using #moho (and yes, that's pronounced gif, not jif)!

This art sends Shivers up my streets.

The Witch (or VVitch?) is an excellent film, I highly recommend it, especially if you're into #history or #witchcraft! That's my afternoon at the café, all wrapped up in the evening. #inkdrawing #illustration

Tried using #watercolour for the first time this week, what better than Ken Sugimori's #pokemon #illustration style to emulate starting out?

Made another #inkdrawing #illustration, this time of Deckard from #bladerunner. Classic film, with some beautiful cinematography!

Y'all know me, y'all know how I make a livin' #inkdrawing #sketch #illustrations Seriously though, #sharks are seriously misunderstood creatures.

Imagine seeing this rocking up on you and your buddies in the Roman Legion or on Pelennor Fields, for that matter! #medievalmemes #lotr #medievalart #history

w.i.p. Dunno why, but old-school clunky, oddly-proportioned Samus has always been such an appealing design to me.

So sad to hear that cartoonist supreme Jim Smith passed away. His work on REN & STIMPY was so beautifully drawn, so deranged, and so, so funny. Scene from an episode he directed: FAKE DAD.

i’m in the process of sending preorders for these tapestries out! so i now have leftover stock available on my shop…! get them while you can! alexsiple.bigcartel.com ♥️♥️♥️

#Maythe4th be with you! Celebrating with an #inkdrawing ##illustration of Artoo and Luke, the legend @markhamillofficial.bsky.social himself, on Dagobah today! Hope I did him justice! Take care, and keep rebelling!

Fresco, Pompeii.

I'm with Mark Hamill, who's with us? 🤔

Meiji Shrine, Tokyo.

As #Spring marches in through #May, it's nice to watch the trees spring to life from their bracken, sleeping limbs. #inkwork #illustration ##inkdrawing

Watermark on this wonderful cartoon gives credit to a "ChadFromTheParishCouncil".

Posting a backlog of my #inkwork Here's an #inkdrawing #illustration of Eowyn in her pivotal triumph over the Witch King (Let's ignore the Hobbit in the room to not undermine it) from #lotr

Attempted to make a new #Banner in #medeivalart #illustration style for #Bluesky, but the dimensions seem to keep shifting! 😅 Hoping it can be fully appreciated here in a post!

Just in time for an #easter #medievalart #illustration "Lenten ys come with love to toune, With blosmen & with briddes roune, That al this blisse bryngeth; Dayes eyes in this dales..." - c1314-1349. MS Harl. 2253, f71v.

Lol. 🤣

Happy #AprilFools ! Another #illustration in #medievalart style. With #signalgate being both hilarious and terrifying, I struggled to find a medieval equivalent. Stanczyk was a purported jester known for his wit and philosophic views. So, I imagined him being accidentally invited to a war debate! 😂
