hello been a minute :) i did this as part of a challenge for a small art community i am in (not on here). i am sorry to not have a scanner because i am sure some detail gets lost but oh well. many mistakes made as usual but it still helped me learn a lot and i had been wanting to do another piece involving marginalia so it was a good opportunity.

First feeling I copped was being reminded of some art from a book that terrified me such that I could never finish it, as a youth - Le Guin's "Tombs of Atuan". Delicious.

Also reminds me just a hair of both Richey Beckett and Jon Dyer Baizley, for different reasons (apples in the corner for the latter, especially). Delicious.

Shits dope.

    ❤️ thankyou! i enjoy those artists a lot, plus much of my influences come from pre-raphaelite, art nouveau and the book illustrations i grew up with so it makes me very happy that these things are being picked up on. it really means a lot to me!

    If you've got any cool stuff you'd feel like sharing, my eyeballs would love to drink it in 🤙 influences I mean, but def your own work in any similar directions too!

    Edit: fuck it let's make it cooler lol, I could swear I've got a signed Beckett or Baizley I never did anything with that I'd trade for a print of this if ya felt like it
